560 Lexington Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space on Lexington Avenue at 50th Street in Midtown East, providing an indoor publicly accessible lobby in the commercial corridor near the Waldorf-Astoria.
The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, one block south at Park Avenue and 49th Street, has been one of the most famous hotels in the world since its opening in 1931. The hotel's Art Deco grandeur set the standard for luxury hospitality in the 20th century.
Lexington Avenue in the upper 40s and 50s is one of the most congested commercial corridors in Manhattan, with the subway lines beneath it carrying over a million daily riders. Indoor POPS along the avenue provide essential pedestrian relief.
The POPS serves the commercial community of Midtown East near the Waldorf-Astoria and the corporate headquarters that line Park and Lexington Avenues.
This lobby space provides public access on one of the East Side's busiest avenues, near one of the most iconic hotels in American history.
