Manhattan Plaza, West 42nd Street, New York City

Manhattan Plaza is a 46-story, 1.689 unit residential complex in New York City’s Midtown West neighborhood. Two blocks from Times Square, the complex is dubbed “Broadway’s Bedroom” for its high concentration of residents who are, or have been, engaged in the performing arts. Units are reserved for individuals working in theatre, television, film, and radio entertainment. In addition to directors, choreographers, comedians, and composers, tenants include actors, dancers, musicians, singers, ushers, designers, and screen cartoonists.

The development was conceived in the 1970s as part of a larger effort to revitalize the Times Square neighborhood and support the regrowth of legitimate theater in the area. Since opening in 1977, it has become the anchor of a community that has transformed into a thriving neighborhood of shops, restaurants, and theaters. The building includes on-site year-round programming for children and adults and has been home to many famous residents, including Al Pacino, Angela Lansbury, Tennessee Williams, Alicia Keys, Patrick Dempsey, and Samuel L Jackson.
