The building was designed by BUJ Architects. It was built for a company called Galliard Homes. Lincoln Plaza has two towers with homes inside. It also has a hotel. The hotel opened in 2018. It is run by the Curio brand, which is part of Hilton.

How Lincoln Plaza Looks

In 2016, a magazine called Building Design gave Lincoln Plaza an award. It was named the "worst new building" in their yearly Carbuncle Cup competition.

The people who built Lincoln Plaza had a different idea. They said that awards like this are about what people like. They explained that building design is like art. What one person likes, another might not. They also pointed out that all the homes in Lincoln Plaza were sold. This showed that many people liked the building enough to buy a home there.
