Worldwide Plaza
New York, New York
Client: Equity Office, Inc.
Budget: $4 million

Built atop a series of eight movie theaters, this at-grade rooftop plaza required a complex reconstruction. Mathews Nielsen re-designed the 27,000 square foot plaza and directed the phased renovation, which included a revised paving design, new seating, major tree installation, and irrigation improvements. The renovation design addressed significant waterproofing failures and storm water leaks, and restored the plaza to compliance with the Public Plaza Guidelines established by the New York City Department of City Planning.
