1 Beekman Pl

One Beekman Place is a landmark prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s East River, completed in 1929–1931 and rising 17 stories. Commissioned by the Rockefeller family and designed by Sloan & Robertson with Corbett, Harrison & MacMurray, the limestone-clad building reads as a private residential enclave rather than a typical city block tower. Residences vary from one-bedroom apartments to expansive four- and five-bedroom duplexes with formal galleries, lofty ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, and large picture windows that frame river and skyline views. Interior features commonly include entrance foyers, separate formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, dens or libraries, generous storage and walk-in closets, and classic prewar millwork alongside modern conveniences such as in-unit laundry in many listings. Shared amenities are extensive and sport-forward: a manicured riverfront garden, Olympic-length indoor pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor basketball court, golf simulator, two club/entertaining rooms with service kitchens, resident lounge, and private storage. Practical services include a 24-hour doorman, attended elevators, full white-glove staff, and an attended in-house garage. Outdoor access ranges from Juliet balconies to private planting terraces and garden-level outdoor spaces. The building maintains cooperative rules such as a flip tax and historically strict financing policies, though some listings note updated board allowances. Pets are permitted, and the building’s location on the quiet, tree-lined Beekman Place offers a secluded riverside neighborhood feel within walking distance of subway service and Midtown conveniences.
