Sutton Place and Beekman Place are two of the city's most sought-after residential addresses. These small enclaves along the East River in midtown have some of the finest buildings in New York. They have a gracious ambiance that is elegant but not too formal, impressive but not too overwhelming. The neighborhoods are refined, comfortable, cozy, and redolent with a sense of peacefulness, respect for the environment, and caring for sane values of good-neighborliness, a very special area in the middle of the city.

Located just east of Midtown, in the highly desirable Beekman neighborhood, 343 East 50th Street is on a tree-lined block within close proximity to the East River, the United Nations, and Grand Central Station. Excellent shopping, dining, and transportation are all nearby. M at Beekman offers the best of both worlds-located in a quiet and serene neighborhood yet within close proximity to all the amenities and excitement of Midtown Manhattan.
