$2000 per square foot and you can’t even live in it year round!  Gotta love NY!

Now that the long-awaited plans for Trump SoHo have finally been approved by the city, the next question is: How much are these suckers going to cost? Although the sales office has yet to open (the offering plan will be ready “imminently,” we’re told) and our requests for specific pricing information have been unsuccessful, the parties involved predict the numbers will be unprecedented below 14th Street.

“The demand is going to create a price point that will set the benchmark for pricing downtown,” says Shaun Osher of Core Group Marketing, which will be selling the hotel-condo units. “It will be well in excess of $2,000 a square foot.”

Though Donald Trump Jr. notes that “$2,000 a square foot doesn’t have the shock factor it used to” (especially to foreign buyers taking advantage of the weak dollar), that price point is still high compared to the new Hudson Square buildings a stone’s throw west of Trump SoHo.  Continued…

For the same money of one of their high-end units, you could visit our SOHO fav - 25 Bond (with only one unit left).  Also, visit other NY Condos and condo-hotels here.

Rumor has it that one of the buyers of one of the $50 million-plus condo at The Plaza is Italian real-estate tycoon Luigi Zunino, the CEO of Milan-based Risanamento S.p.A., one of Italy’s largest real-estate development companies.

Developer and philanthropist Steven Belkin is well known about town for his business acumen, incredible generosity and ownership of the Atlanta Hawks. Belkin was the sole bidder last fall when Boston mayor Tom Menino was looking for someone to develop a skyline-changing building. If all goes as planned the building at 111 Federal Street will be 1,000 feet tall and 80 stories with 1.3 million square feet of office space and 40,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. It will also include an enclosed one-acre Town Green on the ground floor and a rooftop garden complete with trees.

Going down to visit the Providence Condo market today so we thought we would play one of our favorite vid’s.  The 903 in Providence, RI is a place defined by what you’re able to do between sleep  and work. It’s about owning a lifestyle as well as a condo, about owning a piece of the Renaissance City. It’s time you see The 903 for yourself…view the movie now!

There he was in Us Weekly, handsome Orlando Bloom. His left hand cradled a folder, the word ATELIER—as in the 46-story condo tower on way-west 42nd Street—printed on the front. Paparazzi moment or genius product placement?

It’s hard to tell, as projects entering the market are now linked with boldface names almost as frequently as Lindsay Lohan is with partying. (Lohan herself, in fact, is said to have poked around Atelier.) It’s a way to generate buzz for a new building, especially in a crowded field. Leonardo DiCaprio has been connected with Hudson Blue, Naomi Campbell with the Cipriani Club Residences, Scarlett Johansson with the Chelsea Club on West 19th Street.

Sometimes, developers give celebrities price breaks in return for cachet, says publicist Stephen Larkin. He says discounts can reach 20 percent. If celebrities are hosting condo launch parties, or lending their creative vision to the project, they’re probably getting paid outright. Continued…

Last week, developers Arthur and William Zeckendorf announced they had sold all of the building’s 202 units, 15 of them for more than $20 million, including an eight-bedroom penthouse to hedge-fund executive Daniel Loeb for $45 million.  Bob Costas one of the latest buyers at 15CPW.
Visit their website at 15CPW.com if you want to see on what you missed out on! And if your looking to drop in the $20M range…we still recommend our NYC fav - 20 Bond, I think $19M will buy you the entire floor (last unit). For all other New York Condos visit www.NY.condoDomain.com

Two development teams are competing to create the new “main street” in a reinvigorated neighborhood of old wharf buildings across the Fort Point Channel from downtown Boston.”Summer Street is the spine,” insisted Tony Goldman, who has done stylish urban redevelopment before, in New York’s Soho and Miami’s South Beach, and now has a portfolio of 11 brick buildings, clustered around Summer, that he’s intending to develop.

A block to the north is Congress, the center of a chunk of buildings owned by Berkeley Investments Inc.

“Congress is going to be where a lot of restaurants and stores are — the heart of the whole district, where people want to hang out,” said Young K. Park, Berkeley’s president. “Summer is much too wide, much too trafficked,” he said. Continued…

We are so excited to see this development neighborhood built…in our opinion it is all going to be awesome! Each property has put up their temporary website. Goldman’s - www.BostonWharf.com and Park’s - www.fp3boston.com. Park does though have his fair share of work cut out for him to stand next to Goldman’s not only experience in leading neighbohoods such as SOHO and South Beach to worldwide status….but his creativity & passion that he put into every pieces of his product will be tough to top. Hes wanted to do a project like this in Boston his whole life…and now he finally has got his shot.
