870 United Nations Plz

870 United Nations Plaza is a 38-story, mid-century modern cooperative tower completed in the late 1960s and designed by Harrison & Abramovitz. The building is composed primarily of large two-, three- and four-bedroom residences with generous ceiling heights and expansive wall-to-wall or floor-to-ceiling windows that emphasize river and city panoramas. Typical apartment layouts include formal entrance galleries, separate living and dining areas, eat-in kitchens or large chef’s kitchens with pantry space, den/library options, abundant custom closets and storage, and traditional details such as hardwood floors and marble baths in many units. Shared interior resources include a staffed full-service lobby with 24-hour doorman and concierge, on-site management and a sizeable complement of building attendants. Resident amenities are concentrated around wellness and recreation: a fully equipped fitness center with pilates studio, Club 39 residents’ lounge with catering kitchen, golf simulator, billiards and game rooms, library, laundry and bicycle storage. Outdoors there are multiple sun decks, roof terraces, a landscaped courtyard and garden, a private driveway and access to an adjacent dog park and children’s playground. Practical conveniences include an indoor garage with direct building access, valet and package services, private storage bins, and centralized utilities/window washing included in maintenance for many units. The building’s location on the East River near Beekman Place, Turtle Bay and Midtown places it within walking distance of restaurants, grocery and specialty food shops, parks, cultural institutions and multiple transit options.
