International Plaza at 302 East 45th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in the United Nations district of Midtown East, providing an outdoor plaza that reflects the global character of the surrounding neighborhood.
The plaza's name acknowledges its location in the most internationally diverse section of Manhattan, where the United Nations, diplomatic missions, and international organizations create a cosmopolitan atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the city.
The UN district's character changes depending on the General Assembly calendar: when world leaders gather each September, the surrounding streets fill with motorcades, security details, and the media circus that accompanies the annual gathering of heads of state.
The POPS serves the diplomatic community, UN staff, and area residents with outdoor space in a neighborhood where the daily rhythms of global governance play out on the sidewalks of New York.
International Plaza provides public outdoor space at the intersection of Manhattan real estate and international diplomacy, on streets where the concerns of the world converge.
