420 Beekman Hill, also known as The Morad Beekman, is a 15 story white brick co-op built in 1962 on a quiet cul de sac near Beekman Place. The building contains 110 apartments and operates under a land lease that expires in 2070, offering exceptional value in one of Midtown East's most refined neighborhoods. Vivian Vance, best known for her role in I Love Lucy, once called the building home. Located across from the historic townhouses of the Yemen consulate, the building sits near Peter Detmold Park, the East River Esplanade, and the United Nations complex.
The building underwent significant renovations in recent years, including a double height lobby restoration in 2020 featuring marble flooring, and a complete hallway, carpeting, and lighting update in 2021. Amenities include a landscaped rooftop deck with panoramic river and city views, a fitness center, a 24 hour doorman, refrigerated grocery storage, a renovated laundry room, and high speed fiber optic internet throughout. Pet owners benefit from a basement pet washing station, and the building offers an attached garage with discounted rates for shareholders, plus a live-in superintendent.
Apartments typically feature parquet or hardwood floors, generous closet space, and windowed kitchens. Many units offer southern exposures with views overlooking landmarked townhouses and gardens. Living rooms in one bedroom units often span nearly 30 feet, while larger apartments include formal dining areas and multiple bathrooms. Select units feature private terraces exceeding 200 square feet, and a penthouse boasts a 600 square foot wrap terrace. The building permits in-unit washer/dryers with board approval, and combined apartments like the four bedroom 10AB demonstrate the flexibility of the layouts.
The co-op maintains flexible policies including pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, and subletting after two years of occupancy. The pet friendly building allows guarantors on a case by case basis. Transportation options include the E, M, and 6 subway lines, plus convenient crosstown bus service on 49th and 50th Streets, though subway access requires a short walk.

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.
