685 First Avenue sales

I was looking at this too. Only rentals listings appear it seems.

Perhaps they decided to change part of the building from condo to rentals due to poor new development market conditions.

Or maybe prediction #3?

I noticed that the kitchen got downgraded to luxury rental level rather than high end new developement level (no subzero, Miele built in). What is prediction #3?

The building was always supposed to be part rental and part condo - always felt that that was an incredibly stupid decision.

Yes originally it was supposed to be 148 condominiums and the rest rentals. The question now is are any of the units going to be condominium and if they are will they be sold?

Perhaps condos are yet to be released.

At the current ask ($1.93m for #33a), I think people would be overpaying for 779 sq. ft. with an unfortunate floorplan. The reason for wanting to live in one's kitchen eludes me. Who is their demographic? AirBnB?

While I think they will need to take a discount to sell, I do not mind the floor plan. I use my kitchen counter / dining room seating the most, followed by library with living room couch last - all in an open floor plan.

All the apartments from 28th floor on up , which were supposed to be condo, are now showing as “off market”.
Will they turn them into rental?

The for sale listings are still there. https://streeteasy.com/building/one-united-nations-park

Solow decided to play switcharoo with the addresses for marketing purposes which is why there was confusion on whether this was a rental or condo...or in this case both. The rental portion has a different address though it's technically the same building, amenities, and shared lobby.

I hear good things about the building

if your considering either buying at "ONE United Nations PARK" or renting at "685 FIRST AVENUE" .which is the same building, both rental and condo in this mixed building, look at the LOT IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING. This is the largest vacant lot in NYC owned mostly by the SOLOW Company. What kind of view are you going to have when these clowns build in front of your face..!!. They have a history of being amongst the worst builders and landlords in the City. Look what they did to their own tenants at ONE AND TWO SUTTON PLACE they put a new building in front of their faces and blocked the views of their own tenants, why?, for the God almighty buck !!. Sheldon Solow is now dead, but the Son is head of the organization, whose even worse than PAPA, hard to believe. Beware of these horrors
