Financial District (FiDi)-Manhattan New York neighborhood

Leave a reply

Commonly known as “FiDi” the Financial District has recently become not just predominately a business district but also a neighborhood on the rise with a tremendous amount of Real Estate development of new condominium projects and high end rental buildings. The neighborhood feel of FiDi has improved as farmer markets such as the New Amsterdam Market, both grocery and school districts are some of the best in the city.  High end shopping such as Hermes, Thomas Pink, Tiffany’s and Tumi can now be found in the area.

The Financial District is found on the southernmost tip of Manhattan. Home to the original New Amsterdam settlement in the 17th Century, there is much history and time honored tradition.  Home to the financial centers of Manhattan, Wall Street remains an ever present engine of energy and commerce in the neighborhood.  With the development of the World Trade Center Site, you can depend on a tremendous amount of commerce and demand for residential real estate in the area.

The Financial District is home to a number of new development condominium and rental projects.  Converted office buildings into luxury residential condominiums is a mainstay in the area. New rental projects like the Frank Gehry designed 8 Spruce Street or Beekman Tower are giving the area some of most significant development projects in Manhattan.

The South Street Seaport and Brooklyn Bridge continue to be cultural attractions and the World Trade Center Site will be a focus in the neighborhood for decades to come.  Subways and transportation are plentiful as most of the city’s subway lines run directly through the Financial District giving its residents lots of options.

NoLiTa- a sassy and trendy Manhattan New York neighborhood

Leave a reply

Once a part of Little Italy, in the mid-1990’s the neighborhood was rebranded and the catchy name that stuck was Nolita, following the naming trend of its neighbors Soho(SOuth of HOuston Street), and Tribeca, (TRIangle BElow CAnal Street). Nolita, an abbreviation for ‘NOrth of Little ITAly, is a relatively new neighborhood.

Nolita, in the 1990’s experienced a large influx of young urban professionals escaping the high rents of SoHo. This, in turn, inspired the blossoming of fancy boutiques and establishments along it’s quaint cobblestone streets. With a new energy in the neighborhood, distinct from the old charm of Little Italy, NoLita was born. Currently considered an extremely fancy and expensive neighborhood, NoLita is especially desired for its convenient access to the surrounding neighborhoods of NoHo, Lower East Side, and SoHo.

NoLita is south of NoHo, bounded on the north by Houston Street, on the east by the Bowery, on the south roughly by Broome Street, and on the west roughly by Lafayette Street.

Nolita apartments for sale are dominated by condominiums with a few co-ops mixed in.
The Nolita real estate market is often seen as an offshoot of its neighbor Soho, but is still a product of its more relaxed roots.  New Construction buildings have entered the market place with varying reflections of the neighborhood character.

Pricing for Nolita apartments for sale tends to fluctuate closer to Soho and Noho than it does the Lower East Side, but ultimately the variations depend on building quality, building amenities, exposure and renovations.

Some of Nolita’s greatest appeal is that it has relatively everything you would be looking for in the downtown Manhattan experience, great boutique shopping, close proximity to Soho, eclectic mix of restaurants, cafes and entertainment.

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.

Dorchester Towers Condo (155 West 68th Street) Market Report and Update

Leave a reply

Dorchester Towers is located at 155 West 68th Street New York, NY 10023. Dorchester Towers Condominium is located in the heart of the Lincoln Square area of the Upper West Side.

Dorchester Towers is one of the most desirable Lincoln Square Condominium buildings for a number of reasons:

Recently the building changed it’s building pet policy. They now allow dogs in the building.  This change from the perspective of Real Estate sales now opens up the buyer pool to those who have pets.  The dog policy still has certain restrictions based on the breed and number of pets allowed in an apartment. A renter for an apartment in Dorchester Towers Condominium is also now allowed to have a dog in the apartment.  That is the building policy, but naturally it’s every owner’s discretion to decide if pets will be allowed.

Overall this change in policy will lead to a wider buyer pool as pet owners who once would dismiss the building will now come and see if they want to purchase or rent a condominium at Dorchester Towers.  This is an advantage to a current owner in the building who may be looking to rent or to sell in the future.

Another update for the building that there are plans to renovate the hallways and lobby area. The renovation is described as fairly extensive, there is a tentative plan for a children’s playroom and meeting room to be constructed within the current layout of the generously sized lobby sitting area.  This is planned to occur sometime in late 2011 or early 2012 depending on a number of factors.

Updating the hallways is going to be a very aesthetically positive infrastructure for the building. As an active real estate agent, some buyers from time to time comment that a hallway renovation would be worthwhile.  A children’s playroom and meeting room are definite advantages in a real estate perspective.  These added amenities will provide an added value proposition for incoming buyers, as many of the more modern condominium buildings in the neighborhood have these types of amenities.  The building will still not have any gym, fitness or health club area, but there are still a number of gyms in the near vicinity of the building including Reebok Sports Club, Equinox, New York Sports Club, just to name a few.

Overall, we think the renovation of the hallways and the lobby is going to be a major improvement for the building. Many post-war buildings that were built around the same time that Dorchester Towers NYC was in the mid 1960s are all being updated now to stay as competitive with some of the other more modern buildings in their respective neighborhoods.  The renovation was paid for through a capital assessment that is planned to end in August of 2012.

The combination of opening up the building to allowing dogs and the upcoming renovation of the hallways and lobby we can say will increase the desirability of the building to incoming buyers and create a larger value proposition to anybody interested in a Dorchester Towers Condominium apartment.

High Line has not been used since 1980, in 1999, this historic structure was under threat of demolition. Friends of the High Line, a community-based non-profit group then was formed to preserve and developed an idea to keep this structure as an elevated public park.

Midtown West- a vibrant Manhattan New York neighborhood

Leave a reply
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.

Condo owner Checklist-AFTER THE CLOSING

Leave a reply

We always like to provide our new condo owner this checklist to ensure they are organized with their important documents.  After the closing, besides all the excitement of decorating a new apartment and setting up new electric/TV/cable account, we would like to remind new condo owners to organize important documents that pertain to their recent purchase for possible future use such as tax filing, refinance, resale and etc.

Here are some of the important items:

  • Condo sale and lease application – If you have completed a condo sales application. It is a good idea to keep a copy of what you submitted to the management.
  • Offering Plan/Amendments/House rules and financial statements of the condo – at the time of the condo purchase, the attorney represented you had completed their due diligence of the building, the attorney should have given you these documents at the time of closing. If not, ask the condo management for a copy.
  • Closing Statement of this condo purchase – any documents you have signed at the closing, you should keep a copy. Most of the buyer’s attorney will send you a closing statement package with the deed of the property and other related documents you have signed.
  • Loan application and Lender documents – This will be very useful if you financed your purchase for future resale or refinance.
  • Home owner Insurance Certificate – If you obtain home owner insurance, make sure you have a copy of the certificate and insurance agent’s contact information.
  • Lastly, a list of all the parties that participated in the purchase of your new condo- this list should have name and contact information of: Buyer, Seller, Buyer attorney, Seller attorney, Bank attorney, Mortgage banker, Bank name, Buyer’s agent, Seller’s agent and anyone else that played a part of this successful purchase.

Central Park South Condominium Market Report for September 2011

Leave a reply

Central Park South Condominium Market Report for September 2011

This CPS market report is going to contain the current availabilities for 2 bedroom and larger condominium apartments for sale on Central Park South. Central Park South is located on 59th Street from 5th Avenue on the East to 8th Avenue on the West. There are a variety of reasons that make Central Park South condos some of the most desirable real estate in all of Manhattan but in my opinion the commanding views of Central Park could be the most desirable feature.

From Central Park South you see both the city views of both the Upper West Side and Upper East Side along with an unparalleled view of Central Park right in front of you.

There are not that many condominium buildings along Central Park South, just a handful, including 110 Central Park South, 100 Central Park South, 106 Central Park South, 160 Central Park South.  You also have the Plaza Residences at the corner of 5th Avenue and Central Park South.

The two bedroom and larger market ranges in price from $24,000,000 for a 5 bedroom apartment for sale at 110 Central Park South to $1,500,000 2 bedroom condominium for sale at 160 Central Park South.  Other than size the most important feature of the apartment that will determine price is going to be view.  Even though you buy a condominium in a building located right on Central Park South does not mean that you will have a view of Central Park from your apartment.  The price difference for the same size apartment in the same building with and without Central Park views can be quite dramatic.  There is only so much frontage in any building for Central Park views and ultimately some apartments will not have the Central Park exposure.  Even the apartments with Central Park views will be configured in a way that typically the living room and dining room’s will have the Central Park Views and the bedrooms will be facing the back of the building.  There are some apartments that will have Master Bedrooms facing the Park and those apartments will be quite rare and in a higher price point.

Another important characteristic of living in a Central Park South condominium is that the views from the back of the building facing South will typically not be an open city skyline view unless you are on a higher floor, possibly 15 or higher(different for every building).  So the bedroom views could be of the back of another building.

The two (2) bedroom market for a Central Park South condominium for sale ranges in price from $9,000,000 – $2,000,000. But expect the average price range to be in the $3,000,000-$4,000,000 range if you want a Central Park view.  Right now there are approximately One Dozen, Two (2) bedroom apartments for sale on Central Park South.

The three (3) bedroom market for a Central Park South Condominium for sale ranges in price from $5,000,000 – $9,700,000. There are six, Three (3) bedroom condos for sale right now on Central Park South.  Typically the larger the apartment the more likelihood it faces Central Park, but not 100% of the time.

The four (4) to five (5) bedroom market for a Central Park South Condominium for sale ranges in price of $8,000,000- $20,000,000. This size of apartment can range in price very dramatically as you start to look at Penthouse apartments, duplexes,  or combination apartments with sizes that can be 3,000-5,000 sq ft.  If you are looking for an apartment this size, it’s best to have the specific characteristics you are looking for ready so we can discuss what is currently on the market, or available in other notable buildings in the area.

Overall Central Park South condominiums for sale is going to offer some of the best Central Park views, access to shopping and restaurants and the services and amenities of a 5 star hotel.  If you are looking to purchase, rent or sell your Central Park South apartment contact me today at (917) 837-8869 and we can discuss privately what it is that you are looking for.  Your specific criteria will be discussed and we can talk about your apartment options for your very own Central Park South Condominium residence.
