A family member recently purchased this 3Bed condo on the 12th floor at Schaefer Landing, and while I must admit having reservations about the location, and building, this unit simply wowed me. The views speak for themselves.  For $1,260,000 the 1,650 square foot 3Bed/2bath was purchased at $764persqft, which in my opinion is a great investment for […]

Here is a glimpse of just 2 of the 37 new developments that I have documented on the rise in Williamsburg, on the corner of Union Avenue and North 11th Street.  As the 2012 fall season rolled into winter the vacancy rate in New York City neared it’s historic low, close to 1%.  The low supply vs […]

Remember the Salvation Army store on the corner of Bedford Avenue and North 7th Street?  Above, and below, is what is left of the building that desperately needed to be gutted…. finally.  Rumor has it that Apple owns this building, and many others throughout NYC.  When I discovered this info I had to ask, “Is an Apple […]
