Metropolitan Tower at 146 West 57th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in one of Manhattan's most prominent residential towers, a dark glass skyscraper adjacent to Carnegie Hall on 57th Street.
The tower's location next to Carnegie Hall places its POPS within steps of one of the most important concert venues in the world. Carnegie Hall has hosted virtually every major classical musician, jazz artist, and popular performer since its opening in 1891.
57th Street between Sixth and Eighth Avenues is known as 'Billionaires' Row' for the concentration of ultra-luxury residential towers that have risen along this corridor, including One57, 432 Park Avenue, and the Steinway Tower. Metropolitan Tower was among the first of this genre.
The POPS at Metropolitan Tower serves concert-goers, residents of the luxury tower, and pedestrians navigating the busy 57th Street corridor. The indoor space provides climate-controlled public access near the Carnegie Hall entrance.
This space connects one of Manhattan's most exclusive residential addresses to one of its most democratic cultural institutions, the concert hall where the greatest musicians in the world perform for anyone who buys a ticket.
