The United Nations Headquarters Building was completed in 1947, the foundation stone was laid in 1949 and completed in 1952. This land was purchased from William Jay Kendoff, a real estate agent in new york at that time, with an area of 17 acre (about 6.87973 hectares). The US government provided an interest-free loan of $65 million. John Davison Rockefeller, Jr. also donated $8.5 million to help build the building.
Although the building is located in new york, its land is actually an international territory, with the first avenue in the west, 42nd Street in the south, 48th Street in the north and Donghe River in the east. On February 23, 2006, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution entitled "Capital Master Plan", and decided to allocate 654.38+87.7 million dollars to renovate the United Nations Headquarters building.
