Building History & Neighborhood Information (courtesy of Plymouth Tower corporation)





Plymouth Tower was constructed in 1977 and designed by the architectural firm of Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman. The entrance to the building is located on the Southwest corner of First Avenue and 93rd Street. The building spans First Avenue from 92nd to 93rd Street, featuring commercial stores including a Citibank ATM and pharmacy. The building has two large residential plazas, one at the building entrance, recently renovated under the supervision of the architect, William Q. Brothers III with a newly installed granite and cobble paved entrance and a lushly planted perennial garden and gazebo area designed by Natalie Cushman, Holly, Wood and Vine with contemporary park benches and stone garden seats. The building is planning to renovate the 92nd Street Plaza and plans are currently under review by the Department of City Planning. The 92nd street plaza design will compliment the newly renovated 93rd Street Plaza as well as the surrounding neighborhood.

The building neighborhood touches Yorkville to the South and Carnegie Hill to the North.
