Massive $309 Million UN Facing Complex Plan Proposed
New York City would gain a two block center facing the United Nations with four 40 story glass clad towers, a hotel and office complex replacing earlier plans. The United Nations Development Corp proposes a green campus with trees and a U.N. visitors center, avoiding demolition of the Church Center and Boys' Club. Critics fear density and loss of Turtle Bay character, while planners seek quick approvals to start acquisitions next fall for construction in 1972. The project may relocate 594 households and ties into Waterside housing, with many units federally subsidized or tax exempt.
