One Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, International Style skyscraper near United Nations, Manhattan, US
One Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza is a modern office tower in Manhattan situated between Grand Central Terminal and the United Nations headquarters. The building connects 47th and 48th streets and features a sculptural lobby entrance along with retail and dining spaces on its lower levels.
The tower was completed in 1972 by architects Emery Roth & Sons on the former site of Andy Warhol's Factory. This transformation reflects how the neighborhood shifted from an artistic hub to a center for international business and diplomacy.
The building houses permanent missions of several countries to the United Nations, serving as a diplomatic hub in Midtown. These international representations shape how people use the space daily and make it a focal point for global affairs.
The tower sits in an excellent location with direct connections to multiple transit options and numerous restaurants and shops nearby. The walkable connections to major stations make it easy to explore the surrounding area on foot.
The building is named after Dag Hammarskjöld, a Swedish Secretary-General of the United Nations, honoring his legacy and the site's deep ties to international affairs. This dedication highlights why the location serves as home to so many diplomatic missions.
