2 Beekman Pl

Completed in 1932 and designed by Rosario Candela, this 17-story prewar cooperative occupies a quiet, tree‑lined stretch of Beekman Place in Manhattan. The masonry façade and gracious entrance lead into a marble lobby and staffed reception with 24‑hour doorman and elevator operator; a live‑in superintendent oversees day‑to‑day building operations. The coop contains studios through three‑bedroom plans, many retaining Candela’s classic proportions: arched entry foyers, beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, generous closet runs and formal dining rooms or eat‑in kitchens. Units vary from compact studios to expansive duplex homes with separate bedroom wings, decorative fireplaces and terraces offering East River and city views. Shared spaces emphasize low‑scale, residential comforts — a landscaped, furnished roof garden with panoramic river and skyline views, a renovated laundry facility, bicycle storage and private basement storage bins. Building systems include a Culligan water filtration network and bulk cable/internet arrangements. The co‑op is smoke‑free, pet‑friendly, permits non–full‑time residents and allows pied‑à‑terre ownership in many instances; the board enforces traditional coop policies including required downpayment minimums and flip taxes. Its location delivers immediate access to Peter Detmold Park, river walks and Midtown East amenities while preserving a secluded, enclave‑like character.
