Combined office and apartment building. Lower floors used by many NGO organisations and some UN agencies. Also home to more than thirty foreign consulates and permanent UN Missions, the largest such concentration in a single building in New York. Upper floors comprise a residential Apartment Coop. Many of New York's wealthiest people and diplomats live here.

This twin-towered, 38-story apartment and office complex commands impressive views of the United Nations to the south, midtown to the west and the East River to the east. The six-story base of the large development contains about 300,000 square feet of office space and the cooperative apartments share an expansive, corporate-style lobby overlooking an enclosed garden court.

The full-block project has its own block-long driveway that makes for an impressive entrance. It was designed by Harrison, Abramovitz & Harris and erected in 1966.
