East River Tower

it looks to me that they r down to their last 12 units....have u seen these units?

i went to see the ert today and was surprised how nice the build was. the views are great as well. the only kicker to this place is the maintenance. it's pretty high and i hear closing costs on this place are also very high.

also an fyi, i think half the reasons to move into these towers is for the view. i believe you're going to have to be above the 8th floor to get any of those views.

7th floor is decent views ...but con now w the cc's....r they joking. i loved the units but would not be happy aping almost an era 1000k a month for a doorman??? f that. monthly costs r lower on a more expensive condo in a building in lic. too bad ....if they would chop 100k off the asking then maybe.

nice spelling. broken keys on my mac...

I bought at East River Tower and I am VERY satisfied. The common charge for a one bedroom are less than $ 500 a month ( $440 to $480). The building has tone of cameras from the doorman desk. I feel ultra safe as a female. I have looked for at least 24 months to buy both in Manhattan and LIC/Astoria area. I have not found anything comparable. The views of the Manhattan skyline(from 30th street to the 90s in the upper east side) is amazing even below the 8th floor. The finishes are amazing: I have not found any building with deep tub jacuzzi ). There are only 5 units max per floor. By the way there are not too many units left below the 8th floor because these were the cheapest units. Thus building is another 2008 crash casualty. During the summer, I have views of the tree line from the park. Where can you find a one bedroom in a building with an indoor parking , 24 hours doorman and gym for less than 400 thousands. Of course it is not as gentrified as LIC adn you are not close to the subway. I still manage to take a bus located at the corner of the street and a 4 minutes F line ride to be at my work on 60th and LEX in 20 minutes from the condo. The condo charge are slightly higher because there are around 75 units and a doorman around the clock. By the way the superintendant is excellent and very handy. By the way I am a condo buyer and not a real estate agent.

i put in an offer for an apt, they aren't moving much from their offer prices. i'll just wait for them to go bankrupt.

I doubt they will go bankrupt. They have sold around 50 % of their units in 9 months. They will probably rent some of their units or lower the price prior going bankrupt. I doubt they would have recently add the gym equipment if they would be so desperate for money...

globetrotter, it's pretty obvious that you work for them.

10016, false statement on your part!!!!! It does not mean that if a new tenant has a good experience= working for the developer. It is normal that you are suspicious but on this one it is not true. Sorry. On the side, I have noticed in the discussion's comments that a lot of people want individuals who can afford to move to a new building to have bad experience, especially if they can't afford to buy for themselves. It is unfortunately a dark side aspect of human nature.

10016 Look at the thread for 88 Morningside . I wrote my comments on it 13 months ago because I was planning to buy there awaiting a job offer. These two developments are from two different builders and real estate agency vendors. It would make no sense to comments positively on both.
