One New York Plaza was designed by William Lescaze & Assocs. and Kahn & Jacobs. Its beehive-like façade was designed by Nevio Maggiora to resemble the pattern of elevator button which was in vogue in the early 1970s.

One New York Plaza underwent a makeover in 1994. During the makeover, its dark color scheme was replaced with a lighter one.

Updates

October 2012: One New York Plaza suffered heavy damage due to Hurricane Sandy which caused the lower levels of the building to be flooded. The entire concourse area was also inundated. Tenants were only allowed to return in mid November, some three weeks after the hurricane.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
