Completed in 2015, 50 United Nations Plaza is a striking 43 story tower designed by renowned architect Sir Norman Foster of Foster + Partners, marking his first completed residential project in New York City. Developed by Zeckendorf Development and Global Holdings Inc., the building houses just 88 condominium apartments across its elegant glass façade, which features Foster's signature deep bay windows unified by a delicate horizontal grid of stainless steel tubes that reference New York's Art Deco heritage. Located directly across from the United Nations complex in Midtown East, the building offers a gated entry through a landscaped motor court, creating an exceptionally private and secure environment with only two residences per floor on most levels.
The building provides white glove service with a full staff including a 24 hour resident manager, concierge, doormen, valet, and porters. Amenities rival those of a luxury hotel, featuring a 75 foot swimming pool, state of the art fitness center managed by The Wright Fit, sauna, steam and massage rooms, plus practical conveniences like cold storage for groceries, bike storage, and on site valet parking. A conference room and children's playroom round out the offerings, while the dramatic lobby showcases a large waterfall and exotic fireplace.
Apartments range from 2 to 3 bedrooms, with select units featuring rare 14 foot ceilings and some spanning over 3,000 square feet. Common luxury finishes throughout include floor to ceiling bay windows with East River and skyline views, solid white oak hardwood floors, Poliform white lacquer cabinetry, honed absolute black granite countertops, and top tier appliances from Miele, Sub Zero, and Bosch. Bathrooms are clad in white Sivec marble with Foster + Partners designed teak vanities, Dornbracht fittings, and radiant heated floors, while in unit Miele washer/dryers and motorized window treatments add modern convenience.
The building has attracted notable residents including Mindy Grossman, CEO of Weight Watchers, and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley. The two story penthouse features an outdoor infinity swimming pool, while the building's prime location offers residents easy access to the United Nations, East River esplanade, and Midtown East's dining and cultural attractions. With minimal turnover since opening, particularly in the popular corner B line units, 50 United Nations Plaza has established itself as one of Manhattan's most exclusive addresses.
