New York Harbor is the bodies of water, rivers, bays, ports and islands around New York City at the mouth of the Hudson river. The first recorded European in the harbor was Henry Hudson in 1609. He was greeted by the native Lenepe Algonquins when his ship entered the harbor. He discovered Manhattan island and sailed up the river named after him.

Battery Park City is a 92 acre planned comunity at the southwestern tip of lower Manhattan. The land it is located on was created from the Hudson river using dirt and rocks excavated during construction of the World Trade Center.  All buildings in BPC constructed since the year 2000 have been designed using green (LEED) certified sustainable technology. Many of the apartments in BPC have Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor and Hudson river views.

Just north of Manhattan's west side on the Hudson river is the beautiful enclave of Riverdale. The Solaria is the tallest building in Riverdale. The sleek new 20-story, 65-unit Solaria offers floor-to-ceiling glass apartments.

Rising high above the cityscape, most residences feature oversized balconies that graciously expand private living areas and offer breathtaking views from sunrise to sunset. Awe-inspiring protected vistas including the Hudson River, Palisades, George Washington Bridge, Long Island Sound, Van Cortland Park and Manhattan.

Solaria’s kitchens are stylishly efficient and stunningly appointed with spacious cherry wood cabinetry, granite countertops and top-of-the-line Viking, Fisher & Paykel, and Dacor appliances. Storage and countertop space are abundant. Each kitchen has an operable window through which sunlight streams in.

Master Baths are posh and inviting, with Jerusalem stone walls and floors, stone countertops and cherry wood vanities with dual sinks, Toto toilets and radiant-heated floors. Luxuriate in the deep, Zuma soaking tub or frameless glass-enclosed shower. Provide your children or guests with complete privacy because every bedroom was designed to have a dedicated bathroom.

The building offers Manhattan quality in Riverdale. Riverdale once NYC's best-kept secret is known for quality public and private schools. Schools for students from kindergarten to 12th grade as well as several college campuses and numerous synogogues and churches. 

Riverdale has beautiful parks, convenient transportation to Manhattan by bus, subway, and commuter rail. Riverdale has many stately castle-like homes and the neighborhood has elite private schools including Fieldston, Riverdale Country School, and Horace Mann. Riverdale is in a sense the closest northern suburb of New York City although it's within New York City boundaries.

One, two, three, and four bedrooms units are available starting at $660,000. Abated taxes and low Common Charges complete the package at Solaria.

Apthorp Apatments

With it's iron gates, its monumental tunnel like entrances, and its impressive interior courtyard, the Apthorp is one of Manhattan's most dramatic and most frequently photographed apartment buildings. The Apthorp has many famous former and current residents some still in rent-regulated apartments.

The elegant full-block apartment complex built by the Astor family for the New York elite has converting its 163 apartments to condominiums. The landmark 1908 Upper West Side building has two addresses 390 West End Avenue and 2207 Broadway between west 79th and west 78th streets.

The total asking price for all apartments, including apartments of 88 tenants protected by rent-regulation laws, is approximately $1.06 billion, which makes it one of the most expensive condominium-conversion projects. The apartments are grand and well detailed, the original suites have a room-sized foyer with a mosaic tile floor and there are glass-paneled French doors throughout.

The Apthorp prices are around $3,000 a square foot, which is above the initial offering prices at 15 Central Park West when it went on the market in the fall of 2005, and below that of the Plaza condominiums on Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, which began sales a few months later. The only park views at the 12-story Apthorp are views of the interior fountains and garden.

Happy Thanksgiving From the Beautiful Upper West Side of Manhattan.

Wishing all my friends and colleagues in the rain

and all my clients, customers and readers 

A Very Happy Thanksgiving!

Below are some pictures from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Have a great Thanksgiving Day!

Preservation group Landmark West is calling on the Landmarks Preservation Commission to designate a new historic district on the Upper West Side, including all of West End Avenue between 70th and 107th streets, the New York Times reported.

Landmark West said developers have been seizing individual row houses along the avenue, demolishing them and replacing them with glass apartment buildings.

The Upper West Side is already home to seven historic districts. The photo above was taken from my 9th floor apartment which is located diagonally across the street from the new 21 story luxury condo under construction.

While I support Landmark West, and I personally preferred my former view of townhouse rooftops, having lived in the neighborhood for more than 25 years, other than 200 West End Avenue at 70th Street and 535 West End Avenue I don't believe there has been any other new construction on West End Avenue in decades.

The majority of buildings along West End Avenue are pre-war coops. The new buildings are condos. While 200 West End Avenue is a glass building technically it is located in Lincoln Square since it is below 72nd Street.

535 West End Avenue is primarily a brick building being marketed as 21st century pre-war. The architecture compliments the neighborhood. The grand size apartments are either half or full floors. Prices range from $8.5 million to $25 million.

Residents have moved into 200 West End Avenue. There are still apartments available for immediate occupancy while 535 West End Avenue anticipates occupancy in the fall of 2009.

Contact me to schedule appointments or to have listings emailed from these new buildings on West End Avenue or any other Manhattan new development. If you prefer pre-war coops click here.

Just as real estate is local so is politics. Just as real estate goes in cycles so does politics. Local economies affect the real estate market local economies affect politics and both go in cycles. The pendulum is about to swing.

Now through Nov 4th The Museum of the City of New York is presenting an exhibit and public program Campaigning for President: New York and the American Election.

From the time that it hosted the first presidential inauguration in 1789, New York City has always played a pivotal role in national politics. Campaigning for President: New York and the American Election explores the effects of New York on the strategies of presidential electoral campaigns for over 200 years and highlights the role of New York candidates, third parties, powerbrokers, and voters in the race for president.

The exhibition features rarely seen, provocative, and often humorous campaign memorabilia from the collections of the Museum of Democracy, including a commemorative coat button from George Washington’s inauguration, a James Garfield oil lamp, A "Robert Kennedy for President" paper dress, and an original copy of the famous "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline. Presented in collaboration with the Museum of Democracy.
