To the west are two residential buildings, Two and Three Worldwide Plaza, designed by Frank Williams they are respectively composed of a 39-story tower and a series of five- and six-story-tall townhouses. One Worldwide Plaza, the easternmost structure in the complex, was designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). Worldwide Plaza was developed in the late 1980s by a syndicate led by William Zeckendorf Jr. American Realty Capital New York bought a controlling stake in 2017, selling off a non-controlling stake to RXR Realty and SL Green Realty. George Comfort and Sons took over One Worldwide Plaza in 2009. When Blackstone took over Equity Office in 2007, it sold the office building to Harry Macklowe, who lost the building to foreclosure. The Blackstone Group acquired the complex in 1996 and sold it to Equity Office Properties in 1998. During the mid-1990s, the office space was leased at a very low price. Upon opening, One Worldwide Plaza was nearly fully occupied, with two anchor tenants: advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather and law firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore. Inside, there are storefronts and entrances to the New York City Subway's 50th Street station, while three double-height lobbies lead to different sets of office floors. The classically inspired building contains a three-story granite base, a brick midsection with setbacks, and a pyramidal copper roof with a glass lantern. Adjacent to One Worldwide Plaza to the west are a public plaza and two residential buildings. The tower is the easternmost building in the complex, which occupies the entire city block bounded by Eighth Avenue, Ninth Avenue, 49th Street, and 50th Street and is built on the site of New York City's third Madison Square Garden.
