The five-story Upper East Side townhouse owned by Ivana Trump got another price chop, with the property now nearly one-third cheaper than its initial 2022 asking price. As first reported by CityRealty, the residence at 10 East 64th Street is now listed for $17.9 million, down from its original ask of $26.5 million and following a $4 million reduction in September 2023 after a year on the market. Ivana, who died in 2022, purchased the home in the early 1990s for roughly $2,500,000 following her divorce from Donald Trump, as 6sqft previously reported.

Everything old is new again: Why NYC buyers are choosing pre-war apartments over new developments

Today’s real estate headlines are typically dominated by new renderings of geometric glass towers designed by big-name architects and the latest record-setting penthouse sales. But not all New Yorkers are in search of floor-to-ceiling windows and rooftop pools. Some prefer ceiling medallions, cozy fireplaces, and creaky floorboards. And these nostalgia seekers are a bigger part of the real estate market than you might imagine.

The rise of the next Williamsburg: How Gowanus went from eyesore to eye-popping prices

The rise of the next Williamsburg: How Gowanus went from eyesore to eye-popping prices

It’s been 20 years since The New York Times reported that city officials voted "to let developers turn the decaying north Brooklyn waterfront, with its relics of Brooklyn's industrial past, into a neighborhood of residential towers with a parklike esplanade along the East River." In the two decades since, this version of Williamsburg was replaced by the first generation of "hipsters," glassy condo towers with Manhattan views, and throngs of Manhattanites crowding the L train to hit up Union Pool and Maison Premiere. Now, a new rezoning is putting another Brooklyn neighborhood on the same path. This time, the waterfront is the once-toxic Superfund-designated Gowanus Canal.

Elevated by 10 feet, Battery Park City’s Wagner Park reopens with new flood protection

Wagner Park in Battery Park City reopened on Tuesday after a two-year overhaul to better protect the park and Lower Manhattan from coastal flooding. As part of the Battery Coastal Resilience Project, much of the 3.5-acre park was elevated by 10 feet to hide a buried floodwall under the central lawn that will protect against storm surge. There's a 63,000-gallon underground cistern for rainwater reuse and lush gardens planted with native, salt-resistant species. The park's flood risk reduction system includes both passive and deployable measures, designed to withstand a 100-year storm and projected to protect from severe storms through the 2050s based on anticipated sea level rise.

New commute, new demand: NYC Ferry fuels housing boom on the waterfront

It’s been eight years since the city’s first commuter ferry set sail, and in that time, it’s completely transformed the way New Yorkers think about real estate. "The NYC Ferry has absolutely shifted the real estate landscape, especially in pockets of the city that weren’t always considered commuter-friendly," says Michelle Griffith, luxury real estate broker at Douglas Elliman. "Eight years ago, some of the waterfront neighborhoods like Red Hook or certain areas of the Rockaways felt much more remote. But once the ferry became a reliable commuting option, we started seeing renewed interest from buyers and renters who wanted that lifestyle balance: scenic, slightly quieter neighborhoods with direct access to Manhattan."
