Two-story Midtown South building to become 32-story tower with 95 apartments

A vacant two-story Midtown South commercial building will become a 32-story residential tower, marking the first permits filed in New York City for a high-density development under new zoning laws. On Monday, Sioni Group filed plans to construct a 95-unit apartment building at 28 West 37th Street, the commercial building the group applied to demolish in February, according to Crain’s. The project is the first to take advantage of the R-12 high-density zoning, introduced after the state lifted the floor area ratio (FAR) cap to allow greater residential density.

The rentals reshaping Gowanus: A guide to the neighborhood’s new apartment buildings

By Devin Gannon

Thanks to a 2021 rezoning expected to create 9,000 new apartments, paired with an environmental clean-up of the long-contaminated canal, Gowanus is booming. More than 140 residential buildings are planned for the neighborhood, and several are already completed, attracting individuals and families seeking amenity-rich buildings and easy access to Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn, while being relatively more affordable than neighboring Carroll Gardens and Park Slope. At the center of the community is the Gowanus Canal, which, as its federally-mandated Superfund cleanup continues, is expected to become a new waterfront park, flanked by a promenade, retail, and recreational space. As development continues to reshape the neighborhood, we're taking a look at the best new rental projects in Gowanus.

Buying an apartment in NYC: Condo or co-op?

By 6sqft

Choosing between a co-op and a condo is a significant decision for potential homebuyers in New York City, with each option offering unique benefits and challenges. Co-ops, where buyers purchase shares in a corporation that owns the building, often provide a more affordable and community-focused living experience but come with strict board approval processes and resale restrictions. Condos offer full property ownership with greater flexibility in renting and selling, although they typically come at a higher cost and with increased closing expenses. And condops, which provide features of both property types, allow for more flexibility but possibly higher closing costs. Ahead, learn about the key differences among these property types in New York City to find which one best aligns with your lifestyle and financial goals.

7 must-have luxury apartment perks in NYC, according to brokers

By Lidia Ryan

There’s a running joke among New Yorkers that having in-unit laundry means you’ve "made it." And, according to Corcoran broker Vicki Negron, at this point, in-unit washer-dryers are an "absolute must" for a New York City apartment to be considered part of the "luxury" market. "People are eager for any opportunity to avoid a trip to the laundromat. Even if it means sacrificing closet space to accommodate an in-unit washer and dryer, it's a trade-off that many are willing to make,” she added. So now that we’ve reached peak washer/dryer necessity, what are the next big things in NYC luxury apartment living? Real estate brokers dished on what’s hot on the market right now.
