World Wide Plaza
The copper roof and crown of frosted glass atop a 48-story tower by Skidmore,
Owings & Merrill bring some traditional romance to a 1989 Postmodern building.
There is a wraparound arcade that acts as another entrance. The building of the
World Wide Plaza complex, which includes two apartment buildings, a theater, and
a large open plaza, transformed a decaying neighborhood.
• Between 8th & 9th Aves and 49th & 50th Sts
