Property Description for 870 United Nations Plaza, 17-E

Mornings will never be the same as you awake to panoramic sunrises and glimmering waters from this elegant and serene home. Perched on a high floor, every room offers staggering yet soothing views through east and north facing oversized windows. From the Louis Kahn designed FDR Park on Roosevelt Island to seaplanes landing on the river and sailboats cruising at dusk you will be delighted and inspired. The gracious foyer leads to the sun-flooded great room that can be opened to the eat-in kitchen. There is room to spread out with three generous bedrooms, including dual masters, and three full bathrooms. Abundant closets, 8 in total, and a private storage unit, make this an exceptional home that is priced to sell.


Architecture lovers are drawn to the iconic, bronze and glass, mid-century tower with the famous red-carpeted, double-height lobby designed by Harrison & Abramowitz. The prestigious coop is located in a peaceful enclave with a private driveway sheltered under a glass porte-cochere. The accommodating staff includes 24-hour doorman, concierge, valet-service, porter, handyman, in-house dry-cleaning service and on-site management office. Amenities include an exercise room with Pilates studio, golf range, bicycle room, garage, clubhouse, conference rooms, and roof terrace with commanding views. Pets welcome. Around $1,200 for monthly utilities, cable/internet and window washing. Pied-a-terre and International buyers are permitted with acceptable USA based assets, and apartments can be purchased in a Qualified Personal Residential Trust. 75% financing is now allowed. Showings by appointment only, 9am - 6pm.

Beekman Place | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Beekman Place is less of a neighborhood than it is a quiet two-block enclave just north of the United Nations on the far eastern edge of Turtle Bay. There is only one street that runs through the neighborhood, also called Beekman Place, that wraps itself around 49th Street and 51st Street.  

This bucolic little stretch of the east side has always been a cherished spot for those fortunate enough to have found refuge here. The noise and the street traffic from the city surrounds is virtually non-existent as there are no through streets in this neighborhood.  

The neighborhood composition largely consists of a few clusters of townhouses and prewar co-ops. The exception to the rule is the charming art-deco-styled Beekman Place Hotel at the corner of First Avenue and 49th Street and the two post-war towers, 860 and 870 UN Plaza that front the grounds of the United Nations.
