From visiting the site, One Times Square is on an North-South Axis that is visble by both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The Times Square Tower rests just behind the historic One Times Square, covered in signage. The Actor's Equity Building, also a historic building at the site has a different relationship to the observer, its side is used for advertisement and in some way had an advantage to the tower in that it is able to use two sides for display upon approaching traffic whereas The Times Square Tower and One Times Square side views are blocked by adjacent buildings.
