Worldwide Plaza Condominium

Constructed in 1988 by developer William Zeckendorf, Jr., Worldwide Plaza, with its grand, Post-Modern design, was an ambitious project that served as a major catalyst for the midtown revitalization of 8th Avenue. Today, Worldwide Plaza is among the most distinguished luxury developments in Clinton/Midtown West. Occupying an entire city block, from 49th to 50th between 8th and 9th Avenues, Worldwide Plaza is most easily recognized by its 50-story commercial office tower with a signature copper pyramid top known as “David’s Diamond,” after architect David Childs. The residential component of Worldwide Plaza is comprised of a 39-story tower at 350 West 50th Street, a 7-story building at 393 West 49th Street, and 12 adjoining townhouses. A mid-block, landscaped public square serves to link Worldwide Plaza’s residential and commercial components, and features a fountain and outdoor café.
