Property Description for 50 United Nations Plaza, 12-C

Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Norman Foster and developed by Zeckendorf Development, 50 United Nations Plaza offers a distinctive residential experience defined by architecture, privacy and service. Residence 12C is a beautifully appointed corner two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with expansive northern and western exposures, abundant natural light, beautiful sunsets and open city views. Oversized bay windows frame the skyline and create a strong connection between the interiors and the city beyond, while high ceilings and wide-plank white oak floors bring warmth and scale to the home. The gracious living and dining room is bright and beautifully proportioned, with panoramic city views that shift throughout the day and create an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The windowed kitchen features white lacquered Poliform cabinetry, granite countertops and appliances by Sub-Zero, Miele and Bosch. The primary suite is a private retreat with a large north-facing window and open views toward the United Nations and East River. The en-suite marble bath features radiant heated floors, a deep soaking tub, Poliform teak vanity and Dornbracht fixtures. A second bedroom with a west-facing bay window offers flexibility as a guest room, home office or den. A second full bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower and an in-residence Miele washer and dryer complete the home. With only 88 residences across 43 stories, 50 United Nations Plaza offers a rare sense of privacy and discretion. Residents arrive through a landscaped private motor court into a dramatic double-height lobby centered around a fireplace and waterfall. Amenities include a 75-foot swimming pool, fitness center, sauna and massage room, residents’ lounge and conference room, children’s playroom, wine cellar, bicycle storage, private storage, cold storage, on-site garage and valet parking. A resident manager, concierge, 24-hour doorman, valet and porter staff provide attentive service. Set beside the United Nations and moments from the East River, the residence combines striking architecture, serene interiors and a highly private setting in the heart of Manhattan.

Turtle Bay | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Turtle Bay is best known for hosting the world’s dignitaries at United Nations once a year as the world institution sits on the eastern edge of the neighborhood along the East River.

But this midtown location offers a lot more, a bustling neighborhood teeming with high-rise apartment buildings and an easy walk to the Midtown business district.

Over the past two decades, developers have assembled almost every corner development site along Second Avenue and have built straight up. Not much left to assemble.

Some of the more glamorous, and of course most expensive, addresses are in close proximity to the United Nations. Trump World Tower, which caused a big stir with area residents, in particular, Walter Cronkite, when it was built sits just north of the United Nations Grounds. 

In contrast to the proliferation of the residential highrise, Turtle Bay does have some lovely tree-lined streets between the avenues. In particular, Turtle Bay Gardens, which fronts both 48th Street and 49th Street between Third and Second Avenue has always been a haven for the rich and famous.
