Wall Street 2 Penthouse Sold for $15 Million

wall street 2 penthouse_0

The subprime lending crisis of 2008 changed everyone’s lives; arguably, it will be the greatest financial disaster of our lifetimes. The impact on the housing market, the job market, government solvency, international business sentiment, the stock market, and the financial industry has been greater than a nuclear fallout. So great and so dramatic was the disaster that Oliver Stone effortlessly resurrected his diabolical Gordon Gekko in a reprisal in a sequel to the original Wall Street.
I liked Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, even if it had the eminently annoying Shia …

Looking Up

The cautious word about town is that the New York City real estate market may be revitalized. “No, it’s not like the wild days of 2007,” admits Katherine Dykstra of the New York Post, “when dozens of new-construction buildings dotted much of the city.” And it cannot be denied that many of the buildings resulting from that boom remain largely vacant. But available units are now beginning to sell, and new development, stagnant for the last few years, seems to be swinging back into action.

That’s Mr. Cammeyer to You

Would you rather live at 650 Sixth Avenue, 50 West 20th Street, or The Cammeyer? Before you answer – they’re all the same building. This 1892 Ladies Mile monolith, traditionally identified by its Sixth Avenue address, has recently become The Cammeyer (which used to be the name of a shoe store on the premises), which is evidently thought by someone to be most appealing.
Toward the end of 2010, it was reported that more than 50% of the available units in The Cammeyer had been sold – a marked improvement over …

When It Snow’s In New York…Be Prepared

It was another snow day here in New York City, and I don’t know if you noticed but the day was a perfect for heading to New York public parks for some fun in the snow. Minus the transit troubles, the city was beautiful. Just check out my friend Gillian’s view outside her balcony on East 89th Street, a tree line shot right to Central Park:

Twenty-Something’s Adaptation To New York Prices

The New York Times recently reported that twenty-somethings moving to New York for the first few years are doing everything they can do to survive in this expensive city during this horrible economic slump. Being a twenty-something myself, going on my fourth year in the big apple, I understand all these baby New Yorker woes.
Living in a city where you have to start out residing in a windowless box, sleeping on a twin bed with your feet hanging off one end is not the ideal situation for any young adult …

Building Of The Week: The Sky House

11 East 29th Street is the location of The Sky House. I definitely think this building lives up to it’s name. From the video tour I viewed on StreetEasy for a one-bedroom for sale on the 34th floor, the building has expansive views of the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building and the rest of midtown’s distinctive towers.
It’s location of Madison Square Park/Flatiron district allows for easy transportation with several surrounding subways and bus lines. The centralized locations allows for you to get anywhere in the city. If you have …
