The Beekman Regent is a turn-of-the-millennium condominium with an unusual pedigree: it was built around a designated landmark former church, incorporating the historic structure into the base of a new residential building rather than demolishing it. Completed in 2000, the development drew notice for the ambition of that redevelopment — a recognized example of blending a protected nineteenth-century building into contemporary luxury housing. The result is a 63-residence condominium with a sense of place rarely found in a building of its era.

For a buyer, the appeal is the combination of a condominium's structural advantages — flexible financing, light admissions, ownership flexibility — with a genuinely distinctive setting in the quiet, leafy precincts of Turtle Bay near the Beekman enclave, a few blocks from the East River, the United Nations, and Midtown's office core. It lives like a boutique full-service building with a story.

Architecture and unit composition

The Beekman Regent's defining feature is the landmark former church preserved at its base, its masonry and detailing carried into the lobby and public spaces so that the building reads as continuous with its historic component rather than grafted onto it. Above, the residential tower rises in a restrained contemporary masonry vocabulary appropriate to the Turtle Bay side streets.

The 63 residences run from one- to multi-bedroom layouts at a generous average size for the neighborhood, with the high ceilings, large windows, and modern kitchen-and-bath finishes expected of a 2000-vintage luxury condominium. Some homes incorporate dramatic spaces drawn from the church structure; upper-floor residences carry the longer outlooks. The building's relatively small unit count gives it an intimate, well-staffed character.

Building operations

The Beekman Regent runs as a full-service, 24-hour condominium with a doorman and concierge, a live-in resident manager, a fitness center, a resident lounge, landscaped outdoor space, and resident storage. As a condominium, it is governed through bylaws and a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op admissions process — a meaningful distinction in a Midtown East market where many comparable buildings are co-ops.

Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01344-7502) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

What to know if you’re buying

As a condominium, the building offers flexible financing with no co-op-style cap, no admissions board — purchases clear through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a board package and interview — and customary acceptance of pied-à-terre, trust, LLC, and investment buyers. Subletting and resale are materially freer than at a co-op.

The case for the building is its rare setting and the quality of its execution: a landmark church woven into a full-service condominium on a quiet Turtle Bay block, walkable to the East River, the United Nations, and Midtown's job core, with the Lexington Avenue subway and the cross-town buses close at hand. The most important on-site distinctions are floor and whether a home carries the church-derived volumes. Comparable analysis belongs against the condominiums of Turtle Bay, Beekman, and Sutton.

What to know if you’re selling

The landmark church base and the condominium structure are the marketing core. A distinctive, recognized redevelopment with full service and condominium flexibility sets a resale apart from the more uniform post-war stock of Midtown East.

Benchmark to Turtle Bay and Beekman condominiums. Pricing should be read against the area's condominium inventory, with floor, light, and the presence of the building's signature spaces driving where a unit lands.

Closing mechanics are condominium-standard — a right-of-first-refusal rather than a board process, a faster and more predictable path that appeals to the flexibility-minded Midtown buyer.

The setting and service are the on-site stories. A quiet block near the river and the U.N., a small well-staffed building, and the architectural narrative of the church all belong at the center of positioning.
