One Worldwide Plaza, Postmodern skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, United States.

One Worldwide Plaza rises 237 meters with 50 floors, featuring a distinct copper roof and glass pyramid atop its granite and brick exterior structure.

The building, completed in 1989, stands on the former location of the third Madison Square Garden, marking a transition in Manhattan's architectural development.

David Childs from Skidmore Owings Merrill designed this office tower, incorporating architectural elements that reflect late 20th-century commercial building trends.

The structure contains 26 elevators and offers office spaces ranging from 20,000 to 72,000 square feet, with direct access to the 50th Street subway station.

The building's construction process became the subject of a television documentary series and book titled 'Skyscraper: The Making of a Building'.
