575 Fifth Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space on Fifth Avenue at 47th Street in Midtown, providing an outdoor plaza on one of the most famous commercial streets in the world.
Fifth Avenue at 47th Street is adjacent to the Diamond District, the single block of West 47th Street that handles an estimated $24 billion in diamond and jewelry transactions annually. The POPS serves both the avenue's commercial population and the diamond trade's workforce.
Rockefeller Center, one block north, and the luxury retail corridor of Fifth Avenue create a commercial environment of extraordinary density. The sidewalks of Fifth Avenue in the upper 40s are among the most crowded in the world.
The POPS provides outdoor space on an avenue where the concentration of commerce, tourism, and cultural activity creates pedestrian volumes that overwhelm the sidewalks during peak hours.
This plaza offers public outdoor space on Fifth Avenue near the world's diamond capital.
