871 United Nations Plaza

871 United Nations Plaza (also known as 100 United Nations Plaza) is a Privately Owned Public Space in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Midtown East, near the United Nations headquarters. The POPS provides outdoor space in the diplomatic quarter of Manhattan.

The area around the United Nations complex has a distinctive international character, with consulates, diplomatic missions, and international organizations lining the streets near the East River. The POPS at this address serves this global community.

The United Nations headquarters, completed in 1952 on a site donated by the Rockefeller family, occupies an 18-acre campus along the East River from 42nd to 48th Streets. The organization's presence has shaped the surrounding Turtle Bay neighborhood for over seven decades.

Turtle Bay is a quiet residential enclave amid the bustle of Midtown, with townhouses and apartment buildings that create a neighborhood feel unusual for this part of Manhattan. The POPS contributes to the area's relatively calm pedestrian environment.

This POPS sits in one of the few neighborhoods in New York where the concerns of global diplomacy intersect with the daily routines of residential life, creating a unique urban atmosphere that is simultaneously local and international.
