Paramount Plaza

Paramount Plaza is an office building with 48 floors located at 1633 Broadway in Manhattan. The façade features dark glass and vertical aluminum mullions that create a distinctive rhythm along the structure.

The building was constructed in 1970 on the former site of the Capitol Theatre, which operated from 1919 until 1968. The older theater was demolished to make way for this modern office tower.

The building houses two Broadway theaters: the Gershwin Theatre and the Circle in the Square Theatre, both serving as active performance venues today. Visitors can experience live productions within this office tower, making it a gathering place for theater-goers alongside office workers.

The building has multiple entrances from Broadway and nearby streets, making it accessible from different directions. Theater-goers can easily access the venues inside, while office floors operate during typical business hours.

The building received permission for extra floor space by incorporating two Broadway theaters into its design. This arrangement allowed developers to exceed standard zoning limits through a special bonus program.
