50 United Nations Plaza

50 United Nations Plaza is a 44-story residential tower located near the United Nations headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. The structure features a modern glass facade with clean geometric lines that define its presence along the city skyline.

The tower was completed in 2015 by Foster and Partners, marking the firm's first residential skyscraper project in the United States. This development established the renowned British architecture practice as a major force in designing high-rise residential projects in New York.

The building houses diplomatic residences, including the ambassadorial residence and homes owned by various foreign governments.

The building provides residents with access to modern fitness facilities, landscaped gardens, and elegant shared spaces. Visitors can explore the surrounding Turtle Bay neighborhood on foot, where restaurants, shops, and the East River waterfront are within easy reach.

The penthouse features an outdoor swimming pool with direct views of the East River, the Empire State Building, and the Chrysler Building from the same vantage point. This rare sight line connects three of Manhattan's most recognizable landmarks in a single view.
