750 Lexington Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space on Lexington Avenue at 59th Street, providing an indoor publicly accessible lobby at one of the busiest intersections on the East Side.
The 59th Street / Lexington Avenue intersection is a major transit hub where the 4, 5, 6, N, R, and W subway lines converge, creating one of the highest-volume subway stations in the system. The surrounding sidewalks are perpetually crowded.
Bloomingdale's flagship department store, occupying the entire block between 59th and 60th Streets on Lexington Avenue, is one of the most famous retail institutions in the world. The store's 'big brown bag' is an iconic symbol of New York shopping.
The POPS provides indoor public access at an intersection where the crush of subway commuters, Bloomingdale's shoppers, and office workers creates some of the most intense pedestrian congestion in Midtown.
This lobby space provides shelter at one of the East Side's most crowded intersections, near one of the most famous department stores in the world.
