Beekman at 401 East 51st Street is a ground-up condominium rising in Turtle Bay's eastern reaches, on a Beekman-adjacent block where new construction is rare. Developed by SK Development and CB Developers on an assemblage they acquired in 2023, and designed by SLCE Architects, it replaces low-rise structures with a 29-story, 358-foot tower carrying 83 condominium residences — a genuinely scarce thing in a corridor built almost entirely from pre-war and post-war cooperatives.

The case for the building is new-construction quality and condominium flexibility in a quiet East Side enclave. The residences span studio to three-bedroom layouts, topped by two full-floor penthouses and a distinctive three-story townhouse with its own private garage along East 51st Street. As a condominium, Beekman offers the financing latitude, ownership flexibility, and resale liquidity that the surrounding co-ops structurally cannot, paired with contemporary systems and a deep amenity program built in from the ground up.

For buyers, the appeal is specific: a brand-new condominium — no co-op board, flexible financing, broad ownership latitude — on a peaceful block near the East River, steps from the UN and Midtown, in a neighborhood where almost everything else is decades old.

Recent sales

Beekman is a new-development condominium, so initial transactions are sponsor sales under the building's offering plan rather than resales, and the pace is set by the sales campaign as the building moves toward its anticipated 2027 delivery. Pricing spans the studio-to-three-bedroom range, stepping up sharply to the full-floor penthouses and the private townhouse. The live sales record on this page draws directly from recorded transfers tied to the building's tax lot and is the authoritative reference for closed pricing; ranges discussed here are directional.

What to know if you’re buying

As a new condominium, Beekman offers what its co-op neighbors structurally cannot: flexible financing without a co-op cap, no board admissions process — purchases clear through a far lighter right-of-first-refusal — and customary latitude for pied-à-terre, trust, LLC, and investment ownership. Buying here is a new-development transaction: the residences are offered under a condominium plan filed with the New York State Attorney General by the sponsor, an SK Development and CB Developers affiliate, and closing mechanics, common-charge and tax projections, and finish selections follow that plan and the construction timeline. We help buyers read the offering plan, benchmark the debut pricing against the East Side's newest condominiums, weigh floor and exposure, and structure the deal.

What to know if you’re selling

The selling case is scarcity and product. New-construction condominium supply on a quiet Beekman-adjacent block is thin, and Beekman's combination of a porte-cochere, a deep amenity suite, and unusual homes — two full-floor penthouses and a three-story townhouse with a private garage — distinguishes a resale here from the surrounding pre-war and post-war co-op stock. Positioning should anchor to the East Side new-construction condominium set rather than to the older cooperatives nearby, and lead with the building's new systems, condominium flexibility, and the specific home's floor, exposure, and outdoor space. A resale clears through the condominium's right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board, a faster, more predictable path that itself appeals to the flexibility-minded buyer the building attracts. With only 83 residences and first owners just taking title, early resales trade on limited supply.
