A half-billion dollar development initiative for One and Two United Nations Plaza was revealed by Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul, projected to create over 1,800 construction jobs. The partnership aims to revitalize UN Plaza while preserving existing jobs tied to the UN community. Spanning nearly 80 years, the UN and NYC collaborate closely, as emphasized by UNDC chairman George Klein. This plan coincides with the city's ongoing Jobs Week celebrations, showcasing success in job creation and reinforcing NYC's status as a global economic capital.
As part of the agreement, the UN has committed to long-term leases of space at UN Plaza.
Having the United Nations headquartered in New York City is a powerful, symbolic reminder of our city's proud reputation as a global capital.
The announcement comes as the city celebrates its eighth time breaking the all-time high jobs record and seeing unemployment go down.
This $500 million investment by the United Nations Development Corporation is more proof that New York's resurgence is in full swing.
