Discussion about 310 East 46th Street #5L
Aside from price, are there any benefits to owning in a land lease building. I have only heard dues can increase significantly when the lease are reset on the lease of the land. Appreciate your thoughts.
Turtle Bay Towers is not a land lease co-op. I believe it is simply a co-op that operates like a condo (maintenance runs higher in this building b/c it has a large underlying mortgage).
There are no benefits to owning shares in a co-op that leases its land - only additional risk, higher maintenance, lower marketability (all of which are mitigated, to an extent, by materially lower prices). Land lease co-ops are not particularly picky about who buys and often have approval processes more akin to condos, so I suppose, if there is any benefit, it is easier to buy one than a standard co-op.

I'd also look into resets, not just expiration ...
