## Property Overview

From the 26th floor of 870 United Nations Plaza, the eye falls first on the gardens of the United Nations, then on the General Assembly and the Secretariat, with the East River running beside them toward Brooklyn. Residence 26A takes in that view from a corner, through three exposures. It is a seven-room home of approximately 2,750 square feet, with three bedrooms and four and a half baths, a private bath for each bedroom, and ceilings of 8 feet 7 inches.

A gallery made for art leads to a corner great room of nearly 28 by 25 feet, with the river and the UN to the south and the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings to the southwest. Shoji-inspired panels of wood and frosted glass slide open to join the library to the room, or draw shut to make it a quiet bedroom with its own bath.

The windowed kitchen looks out to the Secretariat and the river, with a BlueStar range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and a breakfast bar for four, and a walk-in butler's pantry is fitted as the bar.

Set well apart from the public rooms, the corner primary suite takes in the river from two sides. Its dressing room, lined in wood-and-frosted-glass wardrobes with cedar interiors, ends at a window on the UN, and two full baths adjoin it. The second bedroom looks down the river past the Secretariat. Two walk-in closets, a proper laundry room and dark-stained oak floors throughout complete the plan.

Harrison & Abramovitz, architects of the United Nations headquarters across the way, designed 870 as well. The full-service, smoke-free cooperative offers a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a resident manager, a renovated gym with a Pilates studio, the Club 39 lounge, a roof deck and an attached heated garage. A private storage unit comes with the apartment, and pets are welcome.

Square footage is approximate, per an independent measured floor plan.

  Total monthly charges of $7,732.12 include maintenance, utilities, window washing and cable/internet.

### How this price compares

- **This home**: $2,450,000
- **Median sold price**: $1,781,250

Based on three-bedroom sales at 870 United Nations Plaza  37/38B.

Square footage is recorded for only 1 of these 6 sales (17%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 94.4% (6 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 67% (6 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 65 days (5 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 124 days (5 sales)

Based on three-bedroom sales at 870 United Nations Plaza  37/38B with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through August 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
