About The Beekman Regent, 351 East 51st Street
This handsome, 20-story tower earned the 2002 Mercedes Benz Property Award for the "Finest New Redevelopment in the World." It was scheduled for completion in late 2001 and is a condominium with 64 apartments.
The building is across the street from another luxury apartment tower, the Grand Beekman at 400 East 51st Street, that was in construction and both are close to Donald Trump's very tall Trump World tower to the south that looms over the nearby United Nations.
This building is very close to the charming and small Beekman Place neighborhood and not far from Sutton Place.
The building, which was developed by Beekman International Center L.L.C., has a concierge, some balconies, some terraces, a garage and a health club.
It is built over a handsome, five-story former school building that was erected in 1893.
Costas Kondylis is the architect for the new construction.
Apartments feature 24-karat gold hardware, mahogany floors and raised panel doors, marble window sills, marble whirlpool baths, a garage, a lobby with a residents' lounge serving continental breakfast and newspapers, a conference/dining room, a business center and a wine cellar.
One of the penthouses has five fireplaces.
There is nearby cross-town service but it is not close to a subway.
