2 Beekman Pl

2 Beekman Place is a 17-story, 1932 Rosario Candela–designed prewar cooperative of 46 residences, arranged as studios through three-bedroom apartments and classic “six”-style layouts. The limestone-faced Art Deco block retains traditional prewar proportions: high ceilings, beamed and moulded detailing, wide foyers and formal dining rooms in larger units. Individual apartments commonly offer eat-in chef’s kitchens, oversized casement or picture windows, abundant built-in storage and spa-caliber bathrooms; many homes include washer/dryers and private storage cages in the basement. Shared spaces emphasize privacy and service rather than spectacle — a staffed, white-glove operation provides a 24-hour doorman, elevator operator and live-in superintendent, plus a recently upgraded laundry facility and a communal Culligan water filtration system. Outdoors, a landscaped and furnished roof deck furnishes East River and skyline views; small planted garden areas and bike storage add to the building’s low-rise enclave feel. The co-op is pet-friendly and allows pied-à-terre usage in many cases, with up to 50% financing permitted in certain circumstances; it offers bulk-billing arrangements for cable and discounted utilities. Located on leafy Beekman Place, the building sits steps from Peter Detmold Park, nearby restaurants and Midtown transit lines, delivering a quiet, residential island within Manhattan’s East Side.
