870 United Nations Plz

Completed in 1967, this 38-story cooperative tower contains two- and four-bedroom residences and stands prominently on the East River near Beekman Place. The mid-century design by Harrison & Abramovitz is known for grand double-height public spaces and large, wall-to-wall windows that maximize city and river views.

The building operates as a white-glove co-op with 24-hour doormen, concierge service, private driveway and an on-site management office. Shared amenities include a triple-height lobby, landscaped courtyard and garden, multiple roof terraces, a furnished residents’ lounge (Club 39) with catering kitchen, conference rooms and an indoor recreation area with billiards and a golf simulator. Residents also enjoy a fully equipped fitness center with a Pilates studio, sauna, bicycle room, individual storage bins and an on-site garage with valet. Utilities and window washing are commonly included in maintenance charges.

Homes here benefit from formal entry foyers, high ceilings, abundant closet and storage space, eat-in kitchens and formal dining rooms. The building is pet-friendly with board approval and allows pied-à-terres. Its riverside location places residents a short walk from the East River promenade and convenient to Grand Central, subway lines and neighborhood restaurants.
