Beekman Mansion is a distinguished 10 story prewar co-op built in 1925 at the north end of Beekman Place, one of Manhattan's most charming and secluded enclaves. The 36 unit beige brick building sits on a quiet cul de sac overlooking the East River, directly adjacent to Peter Detmold Park, a waterfront retreat featuring a gazebo, game tables, and one of the city's most beloved off leash dog runs. The building's façade features handsome hanging lanterns flanking its canopied arched entrance, fine stone bas reliefs, and consistent fenestration that maintains its prewar character.
Apartments throughout the building showcase classic prewar details including high ceilings, herringbone floors, wood burning fireplaces, crown molding, and generous closets. Many units offer East River views and south facing exposures, with layouts ranging from one to four bedrooms. Split bedroom configurations are common, and several apartments include or can accommodate washer/dryer installations. Some units feature servant's rooms available for separate purchase, and larger apartments often include staff rooms with dedicated bathrooms. The building's semi private landings add to the sense of exclusivity, with most floors sharing landings between just two apartments.
Beekman Mansion offers white glove service with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and the distinctive amenity of hand delivered mail to each apartment daily. The building includes a fitness room, central laundry, and private storage when available. The co-op maintains exceptionally flexible policies, welcoming all pets without breed restrictions, permitting pied-à-terre purchases, and allowing up to 80% financing with a reasonable sublet policy of one year with a one-year renewal option. A 2% flip tax is paid by the seller, and the building maintains healthy financials with no current assessment.
The location provides remarkable tranquility while remaining accessible to Midtown Manhattan. Private security patrols the block, funded by the Beekman Community Board. The new East Midtown Greenway extends north from East 53rd Street to East 61st Street along the waterfront, and the neighborhood offers numerous restaurants, cafes, and shops within walking distance. Good cross town bus service runs along 49th and 50th Streets, though subway access requires a longer walk. The building is zoned for P.S. 059 Beekman Hill International.

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.
