Building History

A General Services Administration web site stated about the building's Federal tenants in 2019: "Major tenants are GSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, and U.S. Department of Education. In the latest (2016) Tenant Satisfaction Survey, 83% rated the federal building and GSA services four or five on a five-point scale." (See General Services Administration (GSA).gov, "50 United Nations Plaza Federal Office Building," accessed 11/01/2019.)
