Discussion about 100 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights
It's a land lease that expires in 2043 - see this thread http://streeteasy.com/talk/discussion/40773-sale-at-100-remsen-street-5f
Yep, unless the land lease has been renegotiated, you'll have a hard time getting a bank to approve a traditional mortgage (since the lease will expire before your 30 year mortgage will). We looked at this building in 2010/11 when there was ~ 32 years left on the lease and only one bank was willing to lend at that time, I'm sure the situation hasn't improved.
