The Vanderbilt Condominium at 235 East 40th Street Market Report

235 East 40th Street also known as The Vanderbilt condominium is one of the most desired full service condominium buildings in the Midtown East near Grand Central Station neighborhood.  Conveniently located on East 40th Street between Second and Third Avenue, within a very short distance to both Grand Central Station and the United Nations.  The Vanderbilt Condominium is one of the most conveniently located condominium buildings with close proximity to the midtown business district but also a number of neighborhood establishments.

The Vanderbilt Condominium is a full service building, with 24 hour hour attended lobby with doorman and concierge, attended package room and live-in super.  There is a full size laundry room and garage that can be accessed from within the building.

The Vanderbilt Condominium is one of the most desirable condo buildings in the Murray Hill neighborhood
for a number of reasons.  The location near both Grand Central Station and the United Nations makes this highly valuable for the owners in the building  Located at 235 E 40th Street, this is one of the premiere Grand Central Station Condo buildings.

And because of the desirability of the Vanderbilt Condominium there is always a healthy number of sales occurring every year.  As the end of 2011 is right around the corner here is a market report of what has sold in the building this past year and what is available.

Currently for sale on the market there are Four(4) One Bedroom Apartments asking a range of $675,000-829,000.  The size of most of the apartments and different degrees of renovation along with lower to higher floors accounts for the fluctuation in pricing.  The higher floor One Bedroom apartments for sale at 235 East 40th St, typically have 1.5 bathrooms also increasing their value.

There are a number of apartments in contract right now that will probably close in the next couple of months.

So far in 2011 there have been approximately 13 closed sales.  There is a possibility that there were more sales than that between individual owner’s or properties that never came on the sales market, but we will get a good evaluation of pricing for 2011.

  • Studio’s-Two Studio’s sold so far in 2011 ranging in price of $385,000-$390,000.  Those prices reflected original condition apartments that needed renovation, lower floor units.
  • One Bedroom’s-Nine (9) One Bedroom apartments have sold so far in 2011.  The price range was wide, ranging from $585,000-$875,000.  The wide range is accounted for because of a varying degree of size, view and condition for each apartment.
  • Two Bedroom’s-Two (2) Two Bedroom apartments have sold in 2011.  The price range was $1,235,000-$1,370,000.

For such a big building as the Vanderbilt Condominium, having 12-15 apartments sell in 2011 is a healthy number.  That only makes up about 4% of the total inventory.  All in all that is fairly low.

Something to consider is how long each apartment stays on the market, typically once it is priced within a fair market range it will sell very quickly.

Park Avenue New York Condos located in the Upper East Side Part 1 of 3

Park Avenue New York Condos located in the Upper East Side Part 1 of 3

A Park Avenue address is one of the most distinguished and desirable places to live not just in Manhattan, but arguably the entire United States.

What makes a Park Avenue Condominium so desirable is that this street is almost entirely dominated by co-operative apartments.  On Park Avenue within the Upper East Side,there are literally just a handful of condominium buildings and there will continue to be as new condominium projects are quite rare. So if you do not want to gothrough the somewhat intimidating and arduous process of getting approval from a cooperative board and want to live on Park Avenue in the Upper East Side,then a condominium will be your only choice.  If you are looking to purchase an apartment as investment and want to buy on Park Avenue in the Upper East Side then a condominium will be your only option.

Looking at Park Avenue Condominiums in the Upper East Side is going to be fairly focused and directed, simply because the inventory is limited to certain buildings.  As of right now, I see approximately Twenty Five (25) different condominium apartments ranging in size from studio to Seven Bedroom Penthouses; Priced from $895,000 for a studio, to $35,000,000 for a Full Floor Seven Bedroom Penthouse atop 502 Park Avenue.  These Twenty Five (25) apartments are located in Ten (10) different Park Avenue condominium buildings.

The total number of Park Avenue Condominiums for sale at any one time will fluctuate give or take 5 to 10 apartments, but the number of condominium buildings on Park Avenue is going to remain more constrained.  In the last couple of years, there have been a couple of new condominium buildings that have come up along Park Avenue.  These have not been large developments, rather boutique condominiums, examples being 949 Park Avenue, 1055 Park Avenue, and 985 Park Avenue.  The next big project that has been publicized is a condo conversion at 737 Park Avenue.  Currently a rental building, this project is just at it’s infancy, but stated for possible completion in 2013.  737 Park Avenue will be very unique as this pre-war building located at 71st St opposite the famous 740 Park Avenue Cooperative Building.

If you are looking to purchase a Park Avenue Condominum within the Upper East Side and want to have some idea of the pricing, here is a very approximate range of pricing.  Keep in mind that pricing can vary tremendously depending on what you are looking for; For example a standard two bedroom condominium and a two bedroom condo fully renovated on a high floor with open views could be twice the price or more as the lower floor not renovated apartment.
Studio Price Range- A studio condominium is extremely rare on Park Avenue. You will probably only see a couple come up for sale every year, the studio condo on Park Avenue that sold in 2011 so far sold for $590,000.

  • One Bedroom Price Range-As of October 2011 so far approximately Eight (8) One Bedroom Park Avenue condominiums have sold in a price range of $900,000-$1,500,000.
  • Two Bedroom Price Range-As of October 2011, the price range for sold Two Bedroom Park Avenue Condos has been in the range of $2,000,000 – $5,300,000.
  • Three Bedroom Price Range- As of October 2011, the price range for sold Three Bedroom Park Avenue Condos has been in the range of $3,800,000 – $6,675,000.
  • Four Bedroom Range- The sold range for 2011 has been $3,850,000 – $15,000,000.
  • Five Bedroom Condo- A penthouse 5 bedroom at 610 Park Avenue sold for over $23,000,000 in 2011.

Midtown West- a vibrant Manhattan New York neighborhood

Midtown West also known as Clinton, the Theatre District, or originally as Hell’s Kitchen. Manhattan Midtown West has a distinct personality and history all to itself in Manhattan.
Located generally between 59th Street to the North, 34th Street to the South and from the Hudson River to approximately 8th Avenue.  This is a diverse and large neighborhood with a multitude of landmarks and certain neighborhood characteristics.
Hell’s Kitchen is quite a name. There are many theories and stories about how the area was given this name, but to make a long story short, there has been much transition and gentrification in the last 20 years.  Certain area’s of Midtown West are quite residential with a lot of restaurants, shopping and entertainment options.
The Theatre District area of Midtown West is one of the most trafficked and lively areas for both tourists and resident New Yorker’s.
There have been a number of big development condominium construction in the last 20 years, the anchor being Worldwide Plaza.  This mix used building is one of the most popular condominium buildings in the entire Midtown area.
Midtown West has a distinct feel as zoning laws have kept almost all building heights maxed out at 6 floors. This has given the area a number of smaller more affordable rental and sale options for the residents of this neighborhood.  The taller buildings have typically been found on the avenues, while walk-up buildings are located predominantly between the avenues.
Recently there have been a number of new construction projects in Midtown West including the Link at 310 West 52nd Street, the Dillon at 425 West 53rd St, the Hudson Hill Condominiums at 462 West 58th Street, the Atelier at 635 West 42nd St, the Orion at 350 West 42nd Street, Griffin Court at 800 Tenth Avenue, the Hit Factory at 421 West 54th St, to name a few.  This area has seen these new construction buildings because it’s still possible for developers to purchase the land necessary for these types of buildings.
There are still areas south of 42nd St that are still relatively industrial, where you don’t see as much residential apartments available, but there is a huge project planned for the Hudson Yards redevelopment.  Essentially a brand new neighborhood will be built in this area and it will definitely improve the infrastructure of the Midtown West neighborhood as more retail, schools, and development money will come into this area.

Greenwich Village 1 Bedroom Condo Apartments for Sale Market Report

Greenwich Village 1 Bedroom Condo Apartments for Sale Market Report

The 1 Bedroom Condo Market in Greenwich Village is one of most desirable yet has some of the lowest inventory levels of all neighborhoods in Manhattan. Greenwich Village 1 Bedroom Condos for Sale is highly desirable for both end users who will be looking to live in the apartments themselves and for investors as the area is surrounded by a number of college campuses including NYU, Parson’s, and Cooper Union.  You have very little inventory along with a very high demand, this creates a real estate market where there are not that many choices and the prices reflect the market conditions.

The supply constraints in Greenwich Village are due to the fact that there are very few condominium buildings in the Greenwich Village real estate market, the vast majority of buildings are co-operative in structure. Most of Greenwich Village falls under the Greenwich Village Historic District, making new development condominiums more difficult to build.  There are are a few condominium developments planned, but they are still a couple years out from entering the market. Unlike other neighborhoods where new development condos created a lot more inventory, Greenwich Village is and will continue to be more immune to an oversupply of condos for sale.

Currently, as of the end of September 2011, I see approximately 12 (Twelve) One Bedroom Apartments for Sale in Greenwich Village.  This included both condo and cond-op properties.

A breakdown of the price range for 1 Bedroom Condos for sale in Greenwich Village is:

$650,000-$1,000,000: I see available 4 (Four) apartments in the sub-$1,000,000 price point right now in Greenwich Village. The $650,000 condo is for a Junior 1 Bedroom, not a true 1 bedroom condominium, and is found in 184 Thompson St Condominium, Jr 1 bedrooms will be found in this building occasionally. There is another 1 bedroom condo for sale in Greenwich Village also at 184 Thompson St asking $960,000.  The other two apartments are found in the Cond-op buildings in Greenwich Village, 63 East 9th St-The Randall House and 60 E 8th St-Georgetown Plaza. Georgetown Plaza is a very popular building as it allows for investment purchase and it consistently has large true 1 bedroom apartments for sale for less than $1,000,000.

Overall you will find very little supply for a 1 bedroom condo for sale in Greenwich Village.  There are a few buildings where these condos will be found and when something is priced consistent with the market it will sell very quickly, expect to see large turnouts at the open house and offers to come quickly.

$1,000,000-$1,500,000: This is the price range where the bulk of the 1 bedroom Greenwich Village Condos for Sale will be found. Right now I see 6 (Six) One Bedroom Condos for Sale in Greenwich Village available.  In this price point you will start to see pre-war condominiums come available.  The pre-war condominium market is a niche in the condominium market in Greenwich Village.  It is a segment of the market that has an even more limited availability including the Bing and Bing buildings, including 59 West 12th Street, 45 Christopher Street, 299 and 302 West 12th Street.  Some other notable pre-war condos including 28 E 10th St-The Devonshire House, 115 Fourth Ave-The Petersfield, 2 Cornelia Street at the crossroads of Greenwich and West Village and 25 Fifth Ave.

This segment of the market will find condos in full time doorman condos, typically ranging in size from 800-1100 sq ft, some in pre-war buildings, some in a renovated condition. For a true 1 bedroom in a well established condominium building you will probably find yourself in this price range.

$1,500,000+: This price point you will find the more exceptional properties, typically 1100 sq ft+, outdoor space, exceptional renovations, possible views, loft like spaces.  This segment of the 1 Bedroom condo for sale Greenwich Village market will afford you to see higher floor apartments, usually renovated, in very well established buildings.

Overall, the 1 bedroom condo for sale in Greenwich Village is a very in demand segment of the market. If you are looking to buy in this neighborhood you have to understand the market conditions that exist and the best way to locate your apartment. Greenwich Village has a very rich history in New York City and is considered one of the premier Manhattan neighborhoods.  The downtown location along with proximity to universities, shopping, restaurants, and shopping, is arguably unmatched.
If you are interested in buying, selling or renting a One Bedroom Condo in the Greenwich Village Neighborhood contact us today, at (917) 837-8869 or email Morgan.Evans(@)elliman.com and we can discuss your specific need.

Midtown East Manhattan New York One Bedroom Condo Market Report

The Midtown East One Bedroom Condo Market has a very robust amount of inventory.  Midtown East is one of those areas that can encompass a number of different neighborhoods within it’s general borders. I am describing the Midtown East Condo Market has being geographically located from 57th Street on the Northern Border, 34th Street on the Southern Border and everything between the East River and Fifth Avenue.  Naturally that is a very large area so a lot of condominium buildings will be located in this area.
Some of the neighborhoods that could be somewhat included here are Murray Hill, Sutton Place, and Turtle Bay.

There is a vary wide range of Midtown East One (1) Bedroom Condominium Apartments For Sale available. The price range for a Midtown East 1 Bedroom Condos for sale starts around $550,000 and goes up to $2,850,000.  Clearly this range is very wide and the size, condition, location and building are all very important factors that distinguish value in the Midtown East 1 bedroom condo for sale market.  In total as of this post, I see approximately 130 One Bedroom Midtown East Condos for sale.  That might seem like a very large number but what is important is to look at the break down of the price ranges because people searching in the $750,000 range don’t look in the $1,500,000+ range.

$550,000-$700,000: There are approximately 30 One (1) Bedroom Condos for sale in the Midtown East Condominium market. This segment of the Midtown East 1 Bedroom Condo market is the most active segment, meaning that you will see apartments sell relatively quickly in this price point without a lot of negotiation.  Most of the apartments will be in the 600-650 sq ft range, in doorman buildings probably built in the late 1980s.  What you won’t see is new construction apartments, high floor with amazing views, completely renovated.  You may see one of those elements but not all of them.  Some of the buildings in this price range with Midtown East One (1) Condos for sale could be: The Vanderbilt at 235 E 40th St or 216-218 E 47th St-The Octavia.  Both of these buildings are very well established, in good locations.

$700,000-$1,000,000: There are approximately 50 One (1) Bedroom Condominiums for sale in the Midtown East Condo Market. This is where the majority of the inventory nearly 40% of the apartments for sale are priced between $700,000-$1,000,000.  There is a lot of variety in apartments in the price range, you will see apartment size typically 700-950 sq ft. You will start to see apartments have a 2nd Half Bath, some apartments will start to be on higher floors(25+).  Something to consider is that in this area more than likely to get a nice view you will have to be in the 20+ floor range, any lower and you might be looking at the other side of another taller building.  Some of these apartments will be in luxury buildings, like 865 United Nations Plaza or other new development buildings.  This is a price range where you need to know what you are looking for because there is a lot of inventory out there.

$1,000,0000-$1,750,000: There are approximately 40 One (1) Bedroom Condominiums for sale in the Midtown East Condominium Market.  Now at this price range you will start to focus on some of the more luxurious and prestigious buildings such as 845 or 865 United Nations Plaza, or 425 or 325 Fifth Avenue, or the new construction buildings.  Now you will be looking in the 800+ square feet category, lots of high floor with very nice views, typically 1.5 bath apartments, dining alcove spaces off the kitchen and living room, and better locations along Fifth Avenue, Park Avenue.  This is a very large price point, for a 1 bedroom but there is a payoff that you will be getting a very nice apartment with a lot of features.

$2,000,000+: This price range consists of the some of the best 1 bedroom Midtown East Condominiums that are going to be available. Now you will almost certainly be in certain luxurious buildings, with dramatic Empire State, City and Water Views.  Most apartments will be renovated or recently renovated, you will be on Fifth Avenue or Park Avenue locations or in one of the Trump World Tower buildings.  This is a price point where there is not a lot of inventory, approximately a dozen apartments on the market, but those apartments will definitely give you a lot in terms of size, views, location and building amenities.

In Summary: As you can see the One (1) Bedroom Midtown East Condominium market is varies in price from approximately $600,000-over $2,000,000. There are a variety of buildings to choose from in this area.  If you are interested in this area, our advice is to give us a call (917)837-8869 and we can talk about the current availability and what is selling in this market.

Where is Greenwich Village New York?

Greenwich Village is a historically rich and desirable neighborhood in the downtown area of Manhattan New York City. A residential neighborhood that was the center and home to 20th Century artistic and cultural movements.  Originally a rural area in the 18th Century, Greenwich Village was outside the more developed portion of what was known as New Amsterdam or New York to the south.

Boundaries have changed and more neighborhoods that were once part of Greenwich Village have now been designated and separated but a generally agreeable boundary designation for Greenwich Village today is that, the Northern Boundary is 14th Street, the Southern Boundary is Houston Street, to the west is 6th Avenue and to the East is Broadway or Fourth Avenue.

This area is referred to as the Central Village or Greenwich Village.  It’s western neighbor, The West Village, is sometimes referred to as a part of Greenwich Village, but it has it’s own neighborhood.  To the East, is NoHo, and the East Village.  Directly South of Greenwich Village is SoHo and to the North is the Union Square, Flatiron, and Chelsea neighborhoods.
