Arthur and William Zeckendorf Zeckendorf Development and Global Holdings broke ground today on an 87-unit condominium near the United Nations, inviting real estate executives and politicians to celebrate the building's "move off the stalled construction list," as City Councilman Dan Garodnick put it. Known as 50 United Nations Plaza, the 44-story project at 47th Street and First Avenue was stalled for four years during the recession, but today the developers revealed new renderings from architect Foster + Partners – the architecture firm’s first U.S. residential project. Armstrong Yakubu, a partner with Foster, called the partnership of Zeckendorf Development and Global one of his toughest clients ever -- which brought laughter from the audience -- but insisted it was a compliment. "They pushed us to create something unique," he said. See the photos and more after the jump.
