United Nations New York
The United Nations is
headquartered in New York City, in a complex designed by Brazilian architect
Oscar Niemeyer and built by the architectural firm Harrison & Abramovitz.
The complex has served as the official headquarters of the United Nations since
its completion in 1952. It is located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of
Manhattan, on 17 to 18 acres (6.9 to 7.3 ha) of grounds overlooking the East
River. Its borders are First Avenue on the west, East 42nd Street to the south,
East 48th Street on the north and the East River to the east. The term
"Turtle Bay" is occasionally used as a metonym for the UN
headquarters or for the United Nations as a whole.
