Organize purchasers at 250 West Street

tribeca: You are a good, stand-up person.
I hope you can organize your fellow purchasers.
Contact the assignment desk/RE editor at the NY Times and NY Post. Also the managing editor/RE writers at New York Magazine.
You might get some ink in the Press.

Interesting thought, I am also a purchaser, what is your email?

I wondered how much damage occurred. Haven't been down there but being right at the river I assumed lots of flooding. This does materially change the condition at the condo so you can speak to your lawyer if you want out.

Cantor Pecorella, that's Ben Shaoul. Good luck with that.

That's why they should try to get some Press, truthskr.
There are two owners on here now, so a movement is afoot.

Yes of course Truth.
It's just I wouldnt buy a Ben Shaoul product to live in at all.
I'd look to get out.

Aside from his other issues, when I think of his products;
I think of Tony Montana saying to Elvira, "What... it's a cadillac. She may have a few years on her but she's a cream puff."

lol, truthskr.

I would try to get out of contract too.
But some people appear to want to stay.
To each his own...

Two other Shaoul productions that immediately come to mind;

THe A building that immediately had the pool leaking and mold problem aside from the afterhour crackhead parties;

And 133 west 22nd st where the rats checked in before the residents

Not a Shaoul building. What makes you think it is?

^^ Are you reading this, tribeca?^^

Having a chance to do due dilligence, after the fact.
We could coin a term here, truthskr:

Due dilly-dallyience.

>Not a Shaoul building. What makes you think it is?

Cantor Pecorella
I dont know the exact relationship but every new development project by Shaoul's seems to have been marketed by CP.

Every building that I do know on this list I know was Shaoul.
Yves,the A building, 133 west 22nd, and I believe the Grand Madison was though I dont see it on their page.

The names that make me think Ben Shaoul or association with; Cantor Pecorella, Elad group, Magnum, Ascend group, and an architect with an israeli name I forget.

In any case, you definitely want to band together if you can, regardless of who's involved.

C111: This is your first post since Dec., 2011 and you question the wisdom of truthskr?!

Hi - this is tribeca again (forgot my login, so new name). Thank you everyone for your comments. C111 you can e-mail me at tribecadenizen@gmail.com I created this e-mail address for 250 west purposes. Hopefully other purchasers will read the boards. I have tracked down one other purchaser and have a few ideas on how to get connected to others. I look forward to your e-mail. Truth - what would be the purpose of getting in touch with the press?

truthskr10 this is not a Ben Shaoul Building its a Issac Tshuva building no connection sorry

Elad is a separate entity and its owned by this man Issac Tshuva a gaz station owner from Israel

tribeca: To get some ink by way of an article so other purchasers can read about your efforts to organize.
It will also put the developer on attention because the repairs will be scruitinized in the Press.
They will contact him for a comment. (He will decline to comment.)

It's a human nature story of a purchaser who chooses to stay but has concerns because of the track record of the developer.

Does this type of new development in this type of flood prone area stand a chance? Aren't there whole buildings downtown going to forever be uninhabitable? Gold Street, Water Street etc. ?

Does anyone knows how to get out of the contract ?

they have been pushing back every month the closings its crazy

Any ability to assign a sales contract at 250 West? I am interested in a one bedroom in the building. I understand the potential problems caused by the Hurricane and I fortunately have the time to wait until the building is done.

@emeraldboy
What size apartment do you have?

if you want to sell/assign your 2BR unit, email me. Not a broker...a buyer.

rhubbard @ gmail

Does anyone know if they did anything to deal with issues posed by future hurricanes or storms?
