I spent a few weekends this past winter heading out to Bushwick, Bed Stuy, Stuyvesant Heights trying to understand the investment upside. I was seeing townhouses with asking prices of $1-2mm, all renovated, with promised returns of 5-6%. That is, a net return of $50,000-60,000 per year on a purchase price of roughly $1,000,000. Typical,Read more

End of Year Eye Candy – December 2015 New Development Reviews

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | December 23, 2015 | 0

Last month I wrote that I enjoyed how well-appointed the new developments are in this real cycle, as opposed to in 2004-2008. Now, almost every building offers far higher prices and delivers commensurate finishes. Of course, a few buildings were built and designed as rentals, and converted to condominium to take advantage of a risingRead more

Bread and Butter Apartments in a Hot Market, in the Hottest Summer (Part II)

By admin | Newsletter | Comments are Closed | August 15, 2012 | 0

So we were discussing the possible motivators at the high end. Clearly, the sales which have recently recorded, or units gone into contract have motivated some sellers to list. For example, we have a combination at 502 Park; an absurd price at 50 Central Park South, given the Steve Wynn purchase recently; Lots of greatRead more

New Development Round-Up April

By admin | Newsletter, Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | April 16, 2012 | 0

Very few units have hit the Spring market. 422 west 20th is one of them. Nearly everything was in contract by the time the word spread; the west chelsea adherents snapped up the units quite quickly.
