Occupying a prestigious location across from the United Nations Headquarters, 50 United Nations Plaza was developed by Zeckendorf Development with Global Holdings as the first residential tower in the United States designed by Foster + Partners. The new condominium complex sets an exceptional standard in luxury living and a milestone for architectural excellence in residential development. Model apartments have been designed by the renowned firm of Gabellini Sheppard. Featuring 88 magnificent residences with expansive interior layouts, 50 United Nations Plaza boasts spectacular views of the UN Secretariat building, the East River, the Chrysler Building and the New York skyline. “50 UnitedNations Plaza is destined to become an international landmark, defined by its modern architecture and renowned location,” statedWilliam L. Zeckendorf, Co-Chairman of Zeckendorf Development. “This neighbourhood is of great personal significance to my brother Arthur and I, as our maternal grandfather Trygve Lie was the first UN Secretary General, and our paternal grandfather assembled the land upon which the UN Secretariat building now stands.” Located adjacent to Dag Hammarskjold Plaza at First Avenue and 46th Street, 50 United Nations Plaza is scheduled to be completed in 2015.
