12 Beekman Pl

A 13-story, prewar-era cooperative built in 1957, this full-service residential building occupies a quiet, tree-lined pocket of Beekman Place in Midtown East. The property offers a traditional condominium-like feel with one-bedroom, two-bedroom and studio layouts organized around spacious, classic floorplans—many featuring high ceilings, formal dining areas, foyers and decorative fireplaces. Interior finishes commonly include crown molding, chandeliers, recessed lighting, granite counters and generous built-in storage including walk-in closets. Many apartments have private outdoor space ranging from small balconies to terraces with East River and Midtown skyline views. Common areas emphasize white-glove service: a 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in resident manager, attended elevator service and porters support daily operations. Building amenities include a landscaped courtyard/garden terrace, on-site garage with shareholder discounts, storage rooms, laundry facilities and bicycle storage. The co-op’s policies are shareholder-friendly: pets are permitted, pied-a-terres are considered case-by-case, and a modest flip tax applies. The building sits steps from the East River esplanade, neighborhood cafes and quick connections to Midtown transit and shopping, offering a serene enclave within Manhattan’s urban fabric. Architecturally restrained and residential in character, the building blends prewar sensibility with renovated apartments that often incorporate modern appliances and high-end finishes. Management emphasizes privacy, community-oriented maintenance of the grounds and a controlled, service-driven resident experience rather than flashy amenity programming.
