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

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
