We all know that New York City has some of the best, and most expensive, high-end living accommodations in the country. But, the duplex penthouse at 50 United Nations Plaza is something amazing and is now completed. The highlight of its beauty and luxury is a private pool overlooking the Chrysler and Empire State Building with sweeping views of Manhattan. The infinity edge pool and expansive 400 square foot terrace gives one the feeling of being suspended high up in the sky surrounded by New York’s most iconic skyscrapers.
Approximately 10,000 square foot duplex penthouse is the quintessential embodiment of luxury, with unique characteristics and amenities, including a one of a kind ten thousand pound hand-crafted stainless steel staircase, an infinity edge swimming pool and a main living room that spans nearly seventy five feet in length and has sweeping views of the East River, UN Secretariat, the Empire State Building and Chrysler building.
While the duplex penthouse is the jewel of the building, all units are the embodiment of luxury. Foster + Partners designed each of 88 magnificent residences with an eye for detail. With expansive interior layouts, additional residences range in size from one-bedroom apartments at 1,147 square feet, two bedrooms from 1,132 square feet to 1,636 square feet, three bedrooms range from 2,609 square feet to 3,004 square feet, and full-floor penthouses with five bedrooms and two staff rooms at 5,893 square feet.
50 United Nations Plaza features an expansive lobby complemented by granite, Rouge Griotte marble and American Walnut. Residents are greeted by a 20 foot tall soothing water wall and circular fireplace in the lobby. Each of these elements are combined for a spectacular effect resulting in a truly stunning space. A luxury spa within the building incorporates a 75 foot pool – quite possibly the most spectacular pool in New York. Furthermore, all residents enjoy a private landscaped motor court and an 88 space parking facility, one space for each of the 88 apartments.
