50 United Nations Plaza is a high-rise residential building in Manhattan, New York City. The 44-story tower was designed by the architectural firm Foster and Partners, making it the first residential building in the United States designed by Norman Foster, Baron Foster of Thames Bank.[1] It includes 87 apartments.[1]

The vacant lot was acquired by Zeckendorf Development for US$160 million in 2007.[2] On November 14, 2012, Zeckendorf family announced the beginning of construction,[3] alongside Israeli billionaire investor Eyal Ofer as a partner.[1][4]

Tenants

The government of Qatar acquired four apartments in April 2015.[5] By July 2015, the penthouse, which has an outdoors swimming-pool, was listed on the real estate market for US$70 million.[6][7]

After previously leasing a penthouse at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel for its Ambassador to the United Nations, the United States government relocated the ambassadorial residence to 50 United Nations Plaza. The United States initially rented a 40th floor penthouse apartment, but later purchased a different penthouse on the 37th floor.[8] Nikki Haley was the first ambassador to reside in the 40th floor penthouse, which rented at $58,000 per month. The 37th floor five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bath penthouse was purchased in May 2019 for $15.85 million.[9][10]

On March 15, 2019 the British Government acquired a penthouse in 50 United Nations Plaza, for their trade commissioner for North America and consul general in New York, Antony Phillipson, for $16m.[11][12]
