860 United Nations Plaza, designed by Harrison & Abramovitz in 1966, is part of a twin tower complex that stands as one of Manhattan's most architecturally significant residential addresses. The 38 story building contains 167 apartments and sits atop a six story commercial base, sharing an expansive corporate style lobby with its sister building at 870 UN Plaza. The modernist glass façades, rendered in dark tones as a nod to the nearby UN Secretariat building, exemplify the Miesian tradition of crisp rectilinearity. The complex features the longest private driveway in the city, leading residents through a triple height attended lobby.
Apartments are distinguished by their floor to ceiling windows and dramatic East River, skyline, and UN garden views. The building's 56 duplexes occupy the top eight floors and feature curved staircases and private elevators, while units throughout offer generously scaled rooms with 9 foot ceilings. Common features include wood burning fireplaces, eat-in kitchens with high end appliances like Sub-Zero and Miele, en suite marble bathrooms, and motorized shades. Many residences have been extensively renovated with custom millwork, smart home systems, and chef's kitchens, while maintaining the building's signature walls of glass that flood interiors with natural light.
The full service co-op provides white glove service through a 53 member staff including 24 hour doormen, concierge, and valet. Amenities include Club 39, a private residents' lounge with catering kitchen, entertainment rooms, golf simulator, and billiards room, plus a new fitness center and Pilates studio, two conference rooms, rooftop sun decks, in-house dry cleaning, garage, and storage. The building has attracted an impressive roster of residents over the decades, including Truman Capote, Robert F. Kennedy, Johnny Carson, Walter Cronkite, Yul Brynner, Alan Greenspan, and Mary Lasker. Pets and pied-à-terres are permitted, apartments may be purchased in trust, and the building allows up to 75% financing. A 3% flip tax is paid by the purchaser.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
