This land was purchased from Rockefeller real estates. 

It is located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, on spacious grounds overlooking the East River. Its borders are First Avenue on the west, East 42nd Street to the south, East 48th Street on the north and the East River to the east. 

The term "Turtle Bay" is occasionally used as a metonym for the UN headquarters or for the United Nations as a whole.
