20 PINE STREET CONDO SALE

September 6th, 2010    Posted in Apartments New York, Manhattan New Developments, New York Apartments, New York Homes, New York New Developments
 

WebID 29328

20 Pine, THE COLLECTION designed by Armani/Casa is all about value value value and very nice homes to boot.  The homes exude 
clean lines, soft light, with 10 foot beamed ceilings, integrated sleek kitchens and some lucky owners have private terraces overlooking our fantastic city skies.   Amenities include 24-hour doorman, terrace lounge, library lounge, up-to the minute indoor and outdoor health club, spa and club facilities, golf simulation room and pool pavilion. All residences above the 25th floor are part of the Collection Club with complimentary concierge service from Quintessentially, boasting to be the most elite concierge service in the world.  There are about 50 active sales priced from 685K to 3.85M with an average price per square foot of $1100 with reasonable room to negotiate, making 20 PINE a very very sweet buy.  

The Financial District, the renowned Financial Capital of the world, AKA Wall Street is now inexplicably
 home to an unparalleled level of luxury residential living in Manhattan making this neighborhood a prime and distinctive investment opportunity now and far into the future.

Not so far in our recent past, lower Manhattan primarily housed tired commercial properties where the financial movers and shakers made greenback from 8-4 and Wall Street all but shut down completely after hours.  Happy tourist snapped photos of the gorgeous New York Stock Exchange building, walking along pedestrian cobble stone roads and marveled at the amazing architecture on every corner, every turn of every hidden little alley and street.  Today, this neighborhood is still visited daily for it's incredible history and beauty but after several years of revitalization via conversion from Commercial to Residential properties and complete ground up construction and enticing tax abatements, a predominant air of change is marvelously obvious and waiting to be embraced and consumed. 

From the most exclusive International retailers like HERMES, TIFFANY and CANALI to renowned restaurants like CIPRIANI, SHO and BOBBY VAN'S, to the rich, the not so rich, the famous, the not so famous, the dreamers, artist, and all the little families who saw vast and unending opportunity, The Financial District is home sweet home.  And believe me first hand, it is very very sweet. 

Why so sweet?  The following buildings are my picks and favorite Condominiums in Financial District, each one offering the lap of luxury, contemporary conveniences, amazing amenities, charm and unending value.

    Rare Opportunity for a BROWNSTONE IN THE HEART OF WILLIAMSBURG ON BEDFORD AVE – Great Investment!

    September 6th, 2010    Posted in Apartments Brooklyn, Apartments Brooklyn For Rent, New York Apartments
     

    WebID 22537

    Call Howard Henzel of Nestseekers at 917-836-8272 for info or for a showing to see this great brownstone.

    Williamsburg Brownstone for Sale

    A Great Investment or to live in. Tenants in place.Good rents

    Williamsburg Brownstone/Townhouse for Sale.

    Williamsburg Brownstone Specialist.

    Other Brownstone/Townhouses properties available.

    RARE HISTORIC TOWNHOUSE IN PRIME NORTHSIDE -

    This townhouse is located in the absolute most prime part of the Northside of Williamsburg, between North 8th and North 9th Streets, a 1 block walk to the first stop on the L train.

    The building is brick and is built 20 feet wide by 35 feet deep (plus a 10 foot extension on the first two floors). The lot is 20 feet wide by 100 feet deep.

    The building is a 3 family built on 4 stories, plus a large, dry basement, making 5 stories total. It is zoned as a residential 3 family.Floors 1 and 2 are a single apartment (a duplex), plus the garden. Each floor is about 800 square feet. The 3rd and 4th floor are each separate apartments. They are each about 700 square feet--each might be considered to be a 1 bedroom plus office. The basement is very large, and dry, and provides a huge amount of storage space. It could be made a triplex with the lower duplex, and thus provide even more living space.

    Thus the total square footage for the building is approx. 3,000 square feet above ground, plus appox. 700 additional square feet in the basement, or 3,700 square feet total. And since the building boasts a 100 foot deep lot, the zoning would allow you to build an extension of an additional approximate 1,000 square feet.The yard is 65 feet deep, and one of the largest and most private in all of Brooklyn. It is currently planted with a fruit orchard, and also has mature rasberries, blueberries and grapes.

    There is no rent stabilization. The apartments are all free market.

    The building can be delivered vacant.The owner currently lives in the duplex, which includes the garden and the additional basement.

    The market rent for this unit is estimated to be anywhere between $5,000 and $7,500On floors 3 and 4, the current rents are $2,700 and $2,700, for a total current income of $5,400 a month (both apartments are identical, except one has tin ceilings).

    Tenants pay for their own gas and electric bills (separate meters).Thus the total approximate market rent for the building ranges from approximately $10,500 (conservative) to $13,500 (best case) depending on when you rent the units and the luck of the market at that moment in time.

    This does not include any additional potential rental income for film and fashion shoots. Many TV shows film in Williamsburg (many have approached me and scouted this building) and Bedford Avenue is a convenient place for trucks to park and thus shoot. Given that they can pay up to $3,000 per day, the additional potential income is strong.

    The units are currently occupied, but the building can either be delivered vacant or with the tenants in place. It is incredibly easy to rent here, because of the location.

    The tenant apartments are absolutely charming boasting clawfoot tubs, original 42 sinks, stainless steel appliances, wide-plank hardwood floors, french doors, new windows and the last time one rented the competition to rent was fierce.

    The building expenses are low. Monthly, taxes are approximately $200, insurance is approximately $300, water is approximately $40, and heat prorates to approximately $500.

    Each unit pays individually for its own electric and gas.4 years of renovation on this building, so all 5 stories are now in excellent condition.

    The roof is also new.Historic townhouses like this in the Northside of Williamsburg rarely come on the market. The previous owner held this for 78 years before selling.

    The Laureate at 2150 Broadway
    Incrementally, though not without a few false steps, the Upper West Side is getting better. Some of its more recent developments, like the Corner at 200 West 72nd Street, have done the area no favors, but the general trend is one of improvement. What with 15 Central Park West -- which is as much about Broadway as about Central Park West -- the reborn Lincoln Center and the new Apple store on Broadway and 68th Street, among others, the place is looking increasingly lustrous and expensive. For those of us who grew up here in the 1970s, before such a transformation was even dreamed of, the change is astounding. One of the more charming adornments of Upper Broadway is the nearly completed Laureate, at 2150 Broadway and 76th Street. For years, if not for more than a century, this corner space was occupied by two very different, very low-lying buildings, united by nothing more than the fact that they were so drably generic. [more]

    NYC charter commission steers clear of land use hot spots

    September 3rd, 2010    Posted in Apartments Brooklyn, Apartments New York, Manhattan Apartments News, New York Apartments, New York Real Estate News, News
     
    Six months after being formed, the city Charter Revision Commission issued its final report yesterday, declining to make any recommendations on the three thorniest land use issues before it. The 15-member panel appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg heard from deeply divided interest groups such as the Real Estate Board of New York and Pratt Center for Community Development, but said certain issues were too complex to tackle in the brief period allotted to them. The commission acknowledged the deep divide on those issues, such as a proposal from community advocates and elected officials to increase the influence of community boards and borough board presidents within the ULURP process. The commission declined to make any changes. [more]

    Alexico Group is facing a $196.7 million lawsuit at the Flatotel, after Atlas Capital accused the developer of defaulting on the property’s mortgage loans. According to the suit, filed in New York State Supreme Court yesterday, Alexico borrowed $158 million from Anglo Irish Bank in January 2008 to develop the property, located at 135 West 52nd Street. But the developer allegedly failed to make three consecutive interest payments on the loan starting in January 2009 and was notified of the default in April 2009. The complaint alleges the developer then failed to make additional monthly interest payments between April 2009 and July 2010, leading the lenders to accelerate the payments due and call in the entire loan.

    While Labor Day weekend on the East End can present many hazards -- traffic jams and crowded beaches, for starters -- the specter of Hurricane Earl has presented an array of additional problems, especially for agents trying to squeeze in as many showings as possible during the last weekend of the summer. "Flying furniture," in particular, is a major concern, said Judi Desiderio, CEO of East End-based Town & Country real estate. "You could literally have lounge chairs up in the air and in the pool," Desiderio said. "That's a biggie, especially if you're showing a property on the water.” But out of town buyers are often unaware of the dangers inclement weather present in the Hamptons, Desiderio said. [more]

    Quinn receives thousands in Vornado donations through campaign finance loophole

    September 3rd, 2010    Posted in Apartments Brooklyn, Apartments New York, Manhattan Apartments News, New York Apartments, New York Real Estate News, News
     
    City Council Speaker Christine Quinn has received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Vornado Realty Trust through a loophole in campaign finance regulations, despite publicly praising a three-year-old law that was supposed to limit the amount that individuals doing business with the city are allowed to contribute, to $400 each. According to Crain's, Quinn received $19,900 from Vornado executives, nearly $15,000 of which is being held in an account saved for her expected 2013 mayoral campaign. The donations began coming in around the same time the city began building a database of companies doing business with the city as part of the new campaign finance law, which passed in 2007. Last week, the City Council approved Vornado's proposed skyscraper at 15 Penn Plaza with Quinn's support, despite resistance from Community Board 5. [more]
