The area located west of 10th Avenue, between West 33rd and West 45th street is what The New York Times is coining the “Far West Side.” It was once an area for rail yards and shady deals, but now with the growth of residential towers developing in the area a new Manhattan neighborhood is sprouting.

Much like technology, the first “edition” of any new building inevitably comes with its kinks. Smart consumers waited for the second incarnation of Apple’s iPhone and were happy to find that by the second time around, many of the issues present in the first version had been solved; smart condominium buyers are finding that the “older” buildings (those built in the early 2000s) are in better shape than those that are new construction.
“Almost new” condominiums (those that have been built within the last 5-10 years) appear to be gaining traction …

There’s something to be said about a building that marries a perfect location and an amazing architectural design. Such is the case at 425 Fifth Avenue, which is located in the heart of Murray Hill, just a stone’s throw from Bryant Park and the New York Public Library and designed by postmodern architect Michael Graves. 425 Fifth Avenue, which adds some serious height to the Midtown skyline, stands at a towering 617 feet, making it the 73rd tallest building in New York City.

Walter Kronkite’s three-bedroom, five bathroom co-op at 870 United Nations Plaza is set to close today, adding some serious celebrity leverage and provenance to the hope that the city’s real estate market is boiling once again.  Reports New York Magazine, “Listing broker Joanna Simon, vice-president of Fox Residential Group and the renowned journalist’s longtime companion in his later years (she’s also the sister of singer Carly Simon), says the apartment was only on the market for four days, and the buyers — who aren’t in the news business …

If the Co-Founder & Managing Partner of the building’s developer pays full price for her 1,612-square-foot, two-bedroom space and calls it home, you have no choice but to believe in the project.
While working with the developer’s attorneys, I was involved in over 75% of the closings at the Sky House Condominium. Although closing on time in the New York real estate market is a rarity, this is not the case at Sky House. As the market took a turn for the worse and it became common practice for buyers of …

Angels Outfielder Bobby Abreu has been trying to sell his  2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment on the 37th floor of One Beacon Court for quite some time – and he’s finally out! When the apartment hit the market in May of 2008, Abreu was asking $7.9 million, which, of course, didn’t fly (pun intended). The New York Times reports that Abreu has finally sold his unit to the tune of $5.1 million. Since Abreu bought the apartment for for $3.8 million in 2005, he’s still making quite a hefty profit on …

Only something as important as the 2010 Olympics (which will take place in Vancouver) could bring the New York subway system into the future. Remember those 3-D glasses you needed for The Grammy Awards? You’ll be needing them again – to watch the Olympics in the subway!
Reports the NY Daily News:
The 105-year-old subway system has gone 3-D.
Subway riders paused underground in midtown Tuesday to don paper-and-plastic 3-D glasses and watch Olympic images – a skijumper soaring through the air, a skater twirling on ice -  on a 8ft  x 14ft …
