\nThe new United Nations Plaza sits on a 17-acre site that was owned by William Zeckendorf Sr.Last year, on the 60th anniversary of the opening of the UN building, Mr Zeckendorf’s grandsons William Zeckendorf and Arthur Zeckendorf completed the fit-out of 50 United Nations Plaza – a 167 metre-high, 44-storey luxury apartment tower that is the first residential tower in the US to be designed by British “starchitect” Norman Foster.Their company, Zeckendorf Development, completed the project in a joint venture with Global Holdings.It is a very grand building. The lobby has a floor to ceiling 20-foot water wall and a circular fireplace, and the building has a health and fitness centre with a 75ft-long pool, a conference room, a playroom and a landscaped motor court. The building has just 88 apartments on its 44 floors, with the most spectacular being an almost 10,000 sq ft duplex penthouse on the 42nd and 43rd floors. The seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom property has its own infinity-edge swimming pool, a handcrafted, 10,000 pound (4,535 kilogram) steel staircase and a 75ft-long main living room offering views of the East River, the UN Secretariat, the Empire State building and the Chrysler building. There is also a bridge linking the master bedroom lounge and an entertainment lounge that has its own gas fireplace and catering kitchen.The penthouse went on sale in 2015 and the fit-out was completed last year. It has an asking price of US$70 million. Jill Mangone, the director of sales at Zeckendorf Marketing, said: “We are extremely proud of the completed duplex penthouse which represents a residence using the highest quality materials and finishes, with a full array of amenities for the most discerning buyer.”mfahy@thenational.aeFollow The National’s Business section on Twitter
