1 Lincoln Plaza

1 Lincoln Plaza is a 43-story skyscraper at Lincoln Square with commercial spaces on the lower eight floors and residential units above. The building occupies corner positions along West 64th Street, West 63rd Street, and Broadway.

Architect Philip Birnbaum designed and constructed the building, which was completed in 1974. It replaced a five-story residential structure that had stood on the site since the 1890s.

The building has hosted major entertainment organizations in its lower floors, connecting the location to the film, television, and music industries. This association shapes how neighbors view the place today.

Eight elevators service the 671 units throughout the building, helping residents and visitors move efficiently between floors. Multiple entrances on different streets make accessing the building straightforward from various directions.

The rooftop level is technically counted as the 44th floor and contains a private fitness center reserved for residents. This hidden amenity offers views of the city while remaining unknown to most visitors passing by.
