About 50 United Nations Plaza
This Manhattan residential condominium tower has 44 stories. It comes from the architectural firm of Norman Foster, Foster and Partners, and it was the firm's first residential high-rise in the United States. Sources describe it as holding either 87 or 88 apartments.
In 2007, Zeckendorf Development paid US$160 million for the vacant lot. The Zeckendorf family announced the start of construction on November 14, 2012, with the investor Eyal Ofer as a partner, and the tower was topped out in July 2013.
Several governments have bought homes in the building. They include the government of Qatar, which acquired four apartments in 2015, and New Zealand's foreign affairs ministry, which bought a unit to house its representative at the UN. The United States government also moved its ambassador's residence here; before that it had leased a penthouse at the Waldorf-Astoria.
