At 2 Penn Plaza in New York City, Planters Unlimited contributed to a transformative revitalization of one of Manhattan’s most prominent commercial towers. Our team designed and manufactured large custom fiberglass planters for both the rooftop and courtyard spaces, enhancing the building’s outdoor environments with sleek, durable, and architecturally tailored greenery solutions. The planters were engineered to meet strict structural and aesthetic requirements, accommodating the challenging urban conditions of a high-rise rooftop while delivering a clean, modern look that complements the building’s newly updated facade and public areas.

Working closely with the design and construction teams, Planters Unlimited ensured each planter was precisely fabricated to size, finish, and weight specifications—allowing for seamless integration into the rooftop terrace and ground-level courtyard layouts. These lightweight yet impact-resistant planters serve as essential elements in the building’s placemaking strategy, softening the hardscape and providing natural visual relief within a highly trafficked commercial setting. The result is a series of inviting, functional outdoor spaces that reflect the sophistication of Midtown Manhattan while supporting year-round plant installations in a demanding urban climate.
