Built in 1966, 870 UN Plaza was designed by master architects Wallace Harrison & Max Abramovitz, the lead architects responsible for conceiving the United Nations Headquarters complex and other iconic buildings like Time-Life at Rockefeller Center and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. The UN Plaza, comprised of two 38 story towers, offers residents incomparable amenities such as doorman/concierge service, an attentive staff, fully-equipped gym with Pilates studio, 4 sundecks with 360 degree views of the city, a well-stocked library, lounge with a catering kitchen and bar, game/rec room with golf simulator, parking garage, and private full-block circular drive at the 49th Street exit from the FDR Drive.

The building's prime location right by the UN and East River is also adjacent to the MacArthur children's playground, and across the street from the Peter Detmold Park dog park (yes, pets are allowed).
