RFK's former NYC co-op sells for $1.99M after bidding war - report
Robert F. Kennedy's former New York City co-op has sold for $1.99 million in a bidding war, marking the first sale in over 50 years. Located at 870 United Nations Plaza, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment retained many original features from when Kennedy owned it in the late 1960s. The 14th-floor corner unit first listed for $1.79 million last fall before a bidding war pushed the price up to the final sale price of $1.99 million.
The apartment, spanning about 2,000 square feet, boasts expansive windows overlooking the UN garden and retains original midcentury-modern design elements. Kennedy purchased the property in 1965, using it as his official residence during his time as a New York senator. The co-op building, designed by architects Wallace K. Harrison and Max Abramovitz, features distinctive bronze-and-glass curtain walls and a grand lobby. The property includes upscale amenities like a doorman, gym, and rooftop deck with panoramic views.
