909 Third Avenue is a Privately Owned Public Space on Third Avenue at 55th Street, providing an outdoor plaza in the final blocks of the avenue's commercial corridor before it becomes residential.
Third Avenue at 55th Street is near the Citigroup Center and the luxury retail corridor of 57th Street, placing this POPS within the orbit of Midtown's most commercially intense blocks.
The POPS serves the office workers, shoppers, and residents who converge in this section of Midtown East, where the commercial and residential neighborhoods overlap in the mid-50s.
Third Avenue's POPS corridor, stretching from the low 40s through the mid-50s, collectively provides one of the most significant linear public space systems on the East Side, a legacy of the postwar rebuilding that followed the elevated railway's demolition.
This plaza provides outdoor space in the final stretch of Third Avenue's corporate identity.
