The New Zealand government has reportedly snagged\u00a0an $8 million apartment on the 18th floor of the Zeckendorf Development at 50 United Nations Plaza in Turtle Bay\u00a0for its top diplomat,\u00a0enraging many kiwis who deem the purchase\u00a0unduly spending.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

According to a Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesperson, the spread won’t be purely residential\u2014it’ll\u00a0double\u00a0as a working space. “The higher ongoing maintenance costs and the distance from the UN building meant the older residence was determined as no longer fit for purpose,” he reasoned.\u00a0Indeed, the sale of the MFTA’s old NYC base will likely offset most of the cost of the new residence. “New York property costs are high and growing, and it was determined that the purchase of a new property represented better long-term value to the taxpayer than leasing a property.”<\/p>\n

The 3,000-square-foot home accommodates three bedrooms, three half-baths, a 50-foot long dining room, and grand foyer. Designed by English architect Norman Foster<\/strong> of Foster + Partners<\/a>, the building also provides a private motor court and garden entry.<\/p>\n

The hotel-interior has a sleek finish furnished with\u00a0marble dining tops, ceiling curtains, and minimal design. The pad’s ample windows offer considerable views of East Midtown Manhattan.<\/p>\n
