Yesterday Arthur and William Lie Zeckendorf, along with Global Partners, unveiled their next project, 50 United Nations Plaza, and also made a pledge of $100,000 to Friends of Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (a nonprofit that preserves the plaza where their building is situated).
The new development will offer East River, Chrysler Building and UN Secretariat Building views from deep bay windows. (The Zeckendorfs’ grandfather, Trygve Lie, was the first UN Secretary-General, so we imagine the area holds special meaning for them.)
And rather than limestone or brick, this time the architect is going to use polished stainless-steel detailing on the facade, in the spirit of the great NYC skyscraper.
Plantings are planned all around the tower, which will also feature a spa and a pool.
