1 Beekman Pl

One Beekman Place is a storied prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s East River, completed in 1929 and rising 17 stories with just eleven residences that favor full-floor and maisonette-scale living. Designed by Sloan & Robertson with Corbett Harrison & MacMurray for the Rockefeller family, the building preserves traditional architectural detail: lofty ceilings, large picture windows, wood-burning fireplaces, paneled libraries, formal dining rooms and gracious entry galleries with sweeping staircases and private landings. Interiors commonly include eat-in kitchens, separate staff or den rooms, abundant storage and walk-in closets, and hardwood floors; many residences offer multiple exposures and river views, private terraces or Juliet balconies, and significant entertaining spaces. Communal offerings reflect white-glove service: 24-hour doorman and lobby attendants, attended elevators, an on-site garage and private storage. Lifestyle amenities are extensive and unusual for a co-op of this scale — manicured riverfront gardens, an Olympic-length indoor pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, basketball court, golf simulator, and multiple club/party rooms with catering kitchens. The building is pet-friendly, enforces a flip tax, and traditionally maintains strict co-op governance regarding financing and transfers. Located on quiet Beekman Place, residences combine a secluded riverside feel with convenient Midtown access, appealing to buyers seeking landmark address, privacy, and large, historically rich homes.
