Overview of International Plaza at 303 East 43rd Street

International Plaza is a 28-story postwar condominium built in 1984 at 303 East 43rd Street in Turtle Bay, directly across from the Ford Foundation Building and one block from United Nations Headquarters. The red brick tower contains 79 units with no more than three apartments per floor, creating an intimate residential environment. The building features a distinctive architectural design with angled windows facing southwest, a large oculus above the entrance, and an impressive, vaulted lobby with marble walls and greenhouse style elements.

Apartments typically offer high ceilings, large windows with angled sills, and hardwood floors throughout. Many units feature triple exposures with sweeping city views including the Chrysler Building, East River, and UN Secretariat Building. Common layouts include galley style kitchens, en suite bathrooms, built in storage solutions, and flexible spaces that can serve as home offices or convert one bedrooms into two bedroom configurations. Corner units particularly benefit from multiple exposures and panoramic skyline vistas.

The building provides 24-hour doorman and concierge services, along with an outdoor garden, central laundry facilities, and storage rooms. Pied à terre owners and investors are welcome, though pets are not permitted and in unit washers and dryers are prohibited. The location offers excellent access to Grand Central Terminal, Tudor City Greens, and cross-town bus service on 42nd Street, with financing available up to 90% for qualified buyers.
