BELIEVE IT! A Steal in the Financial District!
This CORNER 3 bedroom features Eastern, Southern and Western CITY and RIVER VIEWS, 6 closets and a gracious entry gallery, perfect for a feature art piece. Lofty ceilings are 10 feet high and 6 foot tall windows offer exceptional light and expansive views of the Manhattan skyline and New Yorks rivers and bridges. All residences feature wide planked cerused oak flooring, individual heat pump HVAC systems and Washer/Dryer in each home with additional laundry room located in sub cellar. SUBLETS & PIED A TERRE ALLOWED OTHER FEATURES INCLUDE: ABOUT THE AREA: Easy access to transportation has brought a new wave of condo buyers into the Financial District, known to its residents as “FiDi.” Recent conversions of office buildings in the Financial District have created lofts and apartments with high ceilings and modern amenities such as gyms, concierges, and computer systems that e-mail you when your dry cleaning has arrived. Top rental buildings have modern lounges for socializing and roof decks that go on and on, with views to match. The new luxury high-rises have joined such classic Financial District co-ops as 3 Hanover Square, a conversion of the former Cotton Exchange. There’s plenty of history here: the narrow cobblestone streets of Lower Manhattan were once frequented by Herman Melville (born on Pearl Street). At Federal Hall National Monument, you can see one of Downtown’s most famous sites —where George Washington accepted the presidency. And when you’re in the Financial District don’t miss St. Paul’s Chapel, the only surviving pre-Revolutionary War building in Manhattan. Shopping options include Tiffany’s, Thomas Pink, and Hermès, with all sorts of luxury goods for sale. Foodies love gourmet boutique Zeytuna Market. It’s also great fun to head to the South Street Seaport, which boasts more than 100 cafés, restaurants, and shops as well as a new ice skating rink called Seaport Ice. There’s also a terrific maritime museum and water views that will take your breath away. |

Split two bedroom two bath apartment in this award winning condo with great eastern light. High end appliances in the kitchen with subzero, Miele, Thermador and Bosch washer and dryer, filtered water. Solid bamboo floors throughout.
Full time Concierge, onsite valet parking, indoor lap pool, fitness center with Yoga studio, children\’s playroom, billiards room, landscaped outdoor terrace. Owners will enjoy filtered air, filtered water, eco-friendly materials & lower energy costs. Live with Rockefeller Park as your backyard and steps from the Hudson River Esplanade, a pedestrian paradise! An amazing value in this amenity packed and David Rockwell designed building! VERY MOTIVATED SELLER, BRING ALL OFFERS! ABOUT BATTERY PARK CITY: River views and river life are the big draw for seekers of Battery Park City apartments and condos. Because the land is technically owned by the Battery Park City Authority, a public entity, residents of these downtown condos don’t pay taxes, they pay PILOT — Payments in Lieu of Taxes — which help maintain the glorious esplanade which is Battery Park City’s crown jewel. The beautiful ribbon runs for 1.2 miles, linking together a string of kid- and pet-friendly parks, and many of Battery Park City’s condos look out on these wonderful bits of green to the Hudson beyond. Strolling, rollerblading, biking — or just catching a spectacular sunset or a close-up of the Statue of Liberty — they’re all perks attached to this wonderful downtown real estate. The neighborhood, built on the Southwest tip of Manhattan, is both quiet and convenient. It offers luxury apartment living that seems almost suburban, but the area is near Wall Street for work and lively Tribeca for play. Riverhouse, one of the newest condominiums, offers twice-filtered air and filtered water — meeting an environmental standard for green living first set by the Solaire, a Battery Park City rental building that is the nation’s first environmentally-conscious high rise. A new Whole Foods and Barnes and Noble provide great shopping, while the Liberty Park greenmarket lets you get the best and freshest New York City produce, some of it from family farms. There’s also an 11-screen movie theater which screens both popular favorites and hosts part of the world-famous Tribeca Film Festival. |

It may be a race against the clock at Warehouse 11, the Karl Fischer-designed condominium at 214 North 11th Street in Williamsburg, where nearly 60 contracts have been signed in the last two weeks, at less than $600 per square foot, according to Apartmentsandlofts.com, which is handling sales for the building. A spokesperson for Apartmentsandlofts.com said the price slashing is due to market conditions, but a source with knowledge of the situation said the fire sale marks an effort to ratchet up cash before a lender-imposed March 31 cut off date. Developer McCaren Park Mews LLC initially faced a Dec. 21, 2009 deadline to buy back the debt, according to bankruptcy filings. But, the developer had been “able to renegotiate terms with the bank,” the spokesperson said, and extend the closing deadline to March. The offering plan attorney, Abe Lowy, confirmed that there was a deadline extension on a bank-developer agreement but would not elaborate on the terms of the agreement.
JAMAICA—The three men in a room have finally decided on a development team to turn the forlorn Aqueduct Racetrack into a “racino” with video betting machines and a dash of Vegas glitz and glamour. Will their decision stick this time? According to a press release, Aqueduct Entertainment Group (AEG)—comprised of the Navegante Group and a whole bunch of others—are the winners, but there are conditions. Lots of conditions! Like the group ponying up (heh!) a $300 million upfront licensing fee, instead of the $200 million that already chased Steve Wynn away. AEG’s proposal for the multi-phase racino/resort is the one with “seven sections designed to mirror city neighborhoods” like the Lower East Side. The group’s website gives a glimpse into their plans, seen in the gallery above. Remember folks, it’s just 21 A-train stops from Manhattan! [CurbedWire Inbox]
EAST VILLAGE—The 1910 Congregation Mezritch Synagogue at 415 East 6th Street was on death’s door when a developer aimed to replace the building with condos and the Landmarks Preservation Commission decided not to landmark the building. But the plans got shelved, buying the building some time. Now the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation reports that after a bit of lobbying, the “tenement temple” has qualified for the State and National Register of Historic Places. This would not prevent the building’s demolition, but it would give the owner tax breaks and other incentives for preserving the structure. For now: L’chaim! [CurbedWire Inbox]

The latest in a string of tenant-led lawsuits charging landlords with illegal rent-deregulation has hit 444 East 82nd Street. Half of the 415 units in Clermont York Associates’ building are market rate, despite the fact that the owners raised rents on those units while receiving tax breaks from the city for renovations, said law firm Himmelstein McConnell Gribben Donoghue & Joseph, which filed the suit today. The suit is among a growing number of battles over rent deregulation that have been sprouting up in the wake of an October ruling handed down to owners of the massive Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village complex by the New York State Court of Appeals. The court’s decision said that landlord Tishman Speyer should not have destabilized rents in thousands of apartments while receiving the city’s J-51 tax benefits for building upgrades. Tishman Speyer, which has since handed the debt-laden property over to its creditors, was estimated to owe $200 million in back rent to tenants following the case. Last week, tenants at Lenox Terrace in Harlem filed a similar suit against their landlord, who could owe between $400,000 and $6 million, their lawyers said. [Crain's]
