Spacesmith to Lead Renovation for One and Two United Nations Plaza

The UN has committed to multiple long-term leases at UN Plaza, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a press statement. The lease renewal will coincide with a major $500 million redevelopment to One and Two UN Plaza led by Spacesmith, a New York office.

A $500 million investment by the United Nations Development Corporation (UNDC)—a public benefit corporation founded in 1968—will finance the project, assuaging concerns that tax payers could have to shoulder the costs.

Mayor Adams, Governor Hochul, and United Nations Development Corporation Announce $500 Million Development Plan for United Nations Plaza That Will Help Create More Than 1,800 Jobs.

The project will include building-wide renovations by UNDC, together with renovations by the tenants of their leased office space. CBRE acted as advisor to UNDC, and Newmark acted as advisor to the UN for the project.

The architect for the project is Spacesmith; the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineer is Cosentini Associates; and the construction manager is Turner Construction Company.
