Worldwide Plaza, completed in 1989, is a transformative mixed-use development that played a pivotal role in the renaissance of Manhattan's Theater District. Built on the former site of Madison Square Garden by developers William Zeckendorf Jr., Victor Elmaleh, and Frank Stanton, this full-block complex spans from Eighth to Ninth Avenues between 49th and 50th Streets.
The development's distinctive architecture features three main components: a 50-story office tower designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, a 38-story condominium tower, and a 7-story courtyard apartment building, both designed by Frank Williams. The buildings are unified by their pale beige masonry and pyramidal tops, which were inspired by the iconic New York Life Insurance Company Building. A notable feature is the elevated mid-block plaza with its fountain, globular sculpture, and eating kiosks.
Today, Worldwide Plaza stands as a full-service condominium offering residents an impressive array of amenities, including 24-hour concierge and doorman services, a live-in resident manager, eight laundry rooms, and a private courtyard. The complex is connected to the 40,000-square-foot TMPL gym featuring a 25-meter saltwater pool and state-of-the-art facilities. Its central location provides easy access to multiple subway lines and proximity to landmarks such as Central Park, Rockefeller Center, and Hudson River Park.
