I am looking at studios in this building. This one is asking $2,850 which seems way overpriced. http://streeteasy.com/nyc/rental/651935-condo-20-pine-street-financial-district-new-york How much should I offer? Anyone dealt with this building?

rented here for a year. 2200 seems fair. 2300 tops.

agree. overpriced. saw one a month ago just like this and it was marked at 2500 - which I wouldn't even pay that as it was too small and got no daylight.

Its an "investor" building, so tons of these studios for rent. Good amenities and physical structure, but the apartment layouts are horrible. The floor plate was just too big.

dont forget that they now have the non refundable move in and move out fees - $500 each. then their application fees - $600+, refundable move in deposit of $1000. dont get me started with the condo board rules reg the hours of the rooftop, fines etc etc..

Yeah, I looked at it for some rentals a couple years back, when I was actually considering fidi (I didn't think the "value" was worth the distance from things/places I care about)...

and just too many worry points.

Overpriced. Also: Do you have a compelling reason to be in FIDI such like a couple of block commute? If not the only other reason people rent down there is Value, and again you don't get that since it is Overpricced.

Yeah, I think the FiDi piece is value... access to the rest of manhattan and great spaces at much cheaper than uptown. Without the value, not sure why one would pick it.

Schools, maybe? (but I'd much rather live in Tribeca if its the same price).

Even the expensive places in the FiDi look like a bargain when you're making comparisons with TriBeCa, at least if your comparing properties of remotely similar quality.

Agreed. The comparison gets ridiculous with the apartments that name and price themselves as Tribeca, but are essentially FiDi.
