How was this building rated?

This twin-towered, 38-story apartment and office complex consisting of 860 and 870 United Nations Plaza on 49^th Street commands outstanding views of the United Nations to the south, Midtown to the west and the East River to the east.

The six-story base of the large development contains about 300,000 square feet of office space and the cooperative apartments share an expansive, corporate-style lobby overlooking an enclosed garden court.

The two towers contain a total of 334 apartments, of which 56 are duplexes on the top eight floors.
