NYC Building Recommendations
Hey all,
I know there are a few people working in finance in NYC on this board....looking for some building or management company recommendations.
I have only really heard about Rockrose, and a few others, but was also looking for some nice buildings that would allow you to walk in and sign a lease, avoiding any brokers fees.
Looking at nicer buildings ideally with doorman/elevator/fitness center; 3BR so we (starting analysts) could afford it. Just curious, as I've heard more recently, how easy is it to negotiate 1 or even 2 months rent free with these larger luxury buildings? I assume they are having a hard time filling spots, even with recent grads moving into the city this summer.
Ideal locations would be Chelsea/W. Village, Greenwich V, East V, and Midtown E/W.
Thanks in advance -





nybits.com is a good site
nybits.com is a good site for no brokers fees.
Related Rentals, Archstone, all the chelsea buildings (chelsea modern, the capitol, the caroline, chelsea centro, etc).
They are pretty pricey though. Easily at least $2500/mo for a studio. Probably like 8-9k/mo for a 3BR. I'd look into converting a 2BR.
I've definitely been able to negotiate 1 month free rent in larger luxury buildings.
thanks seredipity....i did
thanks seredipity....i did read about thsoe buildings like the capital, caroline, etc., but as you said, they are way too much for three 1st yrs.
i've seen ads for buildings on cragslist in the Chelsea area, which are in our price range, but don't know how to find out what building they are/don't want to go through a broker.
thanks!
