Discussion about
I am looking with interest at this building. Have herad a few rumors about issues with the developer, which is not a shock. Not sure they've yet sold 50% of the building after 2 years. Pls share any info you might have to help me as I consider a purchase.

Claims 60% and streeteasy seems to back it up.... not particularly impressive for a building that was getting a lot of press 2 years ago. Granted, much of the press was for being overpriced...

Prices started out very high but have come down a bit. I am considering bidding on an apartment there and the vaslue is much better now than before. What concerns me is that I have heard rumors that the developer has not been behaving well and seems to be in a bit of duress, and that there may be bad issues between the owners and the developer. Not sure what is going on, and what the implications would be for a new buyer.

I'm bumping this in the hope that someone has the poop on this building.

I would also appreciate any opinions about this property, value, location etc.

Thanks in advance.

I'll try again. And another thing, can anyone explain how the tax abatement would work for this building, and how to figure what the tax for a given apartment here would be after the abatement ended.
