Overview of Dag Hammarskjold Tower at 240 East 47th Street
The 43-story Dag Hammarskjold Tower at 240 East 47th Street in Midtown East is a New York City post-war classic. The condominium sits within sight of the United Nations campus,which lends the Turtle Bay neighborhood a stately international flair. The tower is named after the second Secretary-General of the United Nations, whose commemorative bust stands at the entrance and who is also the namesake for the block-long Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in front of the white-brick skyscraper, which offers a farmers’ market on weekends and preserves direct East River views from even the skyscraper’s lower floors, with view corridors that the skyscraper’s distinctive, angled corner opens further yet.
Upper-floor apartments offer spectacular views of the Chrysler Building, the Empire State, and the rest of the Midtown skyline in all its glory. In addition to a full staff that includes a 24-hour doorman, concierge, resident manager, and porters, amenities include landscaped public and private gardens, a 43rd-floor swimming pool, a fitness center, a roof deck, a penthouse-level Skyline Lounge, and children’s playroom. Residents also get video security, short term cold storage, basement storage, a bike room and on-site parking. Top rated shopping and restaurants–like Sushi Yasuda and Momosan Ramen & Sake–can be found in every direction. Pets are welcome.

Condo -
fully established, functions well - represents large number of absentee owners
Midtown East, off Dag Hammarskjold Plaza - which is cared for and maintained by the "Friends of Dag Hammarskjold" and the "Turtle Bay Association; weekly farmer`s market; close to subway, buses, shops, restaurants, offices.
Condo board, can`t refuse a contract. But they are slow to act. They take the full 30 days, or longer, to issue the waiver of right of first refusal.
Great neighborhood, midtown but residential. Nearest subway is Grand Central terminal, about 6 blocks away, but many residents never use the subway. This is the neighborhood of the United Nations, but also only a few blocks away from some of the major corporations in the country -- e.g. Pfizer, Altria, others -- which makes this a great building in which to own a rental property, also. Blocks from Grand Central.
Small gym, indoor roof-top pool, roof-top sundeck! This building has it all, and these amentities are included in the monthly maintenance.
Typical condo board. Building has new management company: Douglas Elliman Property Management.
Great neighborhood. Couple of blocks from the UN, 2 block from the cross-town bus, easy walking distance to Grand Central Station! This is a great location for getting around the city.
Right across the street froma new steakhouse....right on Second Avenue and all of the neighborhood Second Avenue restaurants. Just a couple of blocks (3) from Smith & Wollensky, Mama Mexico, etc...
The board is made up of 9 owners. They are all professionals and astute businessmen.
Turtle Bay - This is the UN district and as a result the unit owners in this building tend to be international and from every walk of life. This location is very convenient near transportation, croos town bus is one block away, great shopping and numerous restaurants.
