The idea behind the Manhattan Sport Center was to create a place where sports and the city would meet. Different sports events can be seen when your getting your morning coffee, or just taking some time to relax. This building has the potential to become one of the brightest places in Manhattan. Both locals and guests of New York would enjoy the complex and its many venues it has to offer.
The building is located on one of the main streets of New York City - Madison Avenue, in the historical district - Manhattan. This area is also famous for the largest New York park - the Central Park, which is the main activity location for citizens and tourists.
The new sports center will create a new center of attraction for both athletes and local residents and will complement the sports infrastructure of the area.
The shape of the new building symbolize a basket, with a ball just thrown into it. The main facade is made of crystal clear glass so that people moving along Madison Avenue can see everything that happens inside.
