LIC's ATHA Is Now Fully Leased

The Ivan Mijalkovic Team at The Corcoran Group is pleased to announce that ATHA, a boutique luxury rental located 21-59 44th Drive in Long Island City, Queens, is now fully leased. Developed by Athienou Properties LLC and designed by Z Architecture PLLC, this 20-unit building was named after Athienou, an ancient village on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus – and the hometown of one of the development partners.

After launching in March 2021, the building quickly attracted tenants from the local community, the New York metro area, and beyond. This is a testament to ATHA’s unique appeal, as well as Long Island City’s continued status as one of the region’s most desirable - and livable - communities.

“New residents at ATHA are a diverse mix of LIC locals who moved from large towers, New Yorkers coming back to city from Long Island and Upstate, and those who relocated for work from places like Georgia, New Hampshire and Minnesota,” reports Mijalkovic. “All appreciated the building’s boutique luxury feel and its thoughtful design.”

At ATHA, there are only 2-5 apartments per floor. All residences boast in-unit washer/dryers, central air (vs. loud and space consuming PTAC units), properly vented kitchens, and coveted private outdoor space. The 10’ and 11’ ceiling heights, fully customized California closets, and floor-to-ceiling windows also proved compelling to prospective renters. Luxury finishes include white Caesarstone countertops and stainless steel appliances in kitchens, and baths lined with Italian porcelain tile.

The building’s prime location was another factor in the building’s success. ATHA is situated adjacent to the Court Square station, which provides access to the 7, G, E, and M trains, making Manhattan and Brooklyn within easy reach. Trader Joe's recently opened two blocks away, and the brand new Bonjour Food Market will anchor the building’s commercial space – both provide convenient food shopping options for ATHA tenants. In addition, MoMA PS1, the Murray Playground, and a variety of renowned neighborhood restaurants and cafes are also nearby.

450 Warren Launches Sales in Brooklyn

Here is your first look at 450 Warren in Gowanus, Brooklyn, developed by Brooklyn-based developers TANKHOUSE and visionary architects SO – IL; it’s a truly unique condominium where residents will experience a novel, (almost experimental,) way of indoor/outdoor living in New York City.

The most unique thing about the architecture is that between entering the building lobby to arriving at their apartment, residents never have to be enclosed inside four walls. Within the developer's vision, a garden with 40-foot trees spirals through the center of the building, serving as an open hallway with outdoor corridors and stairs. Walls are replaced with transparent mesh to allow light and changing seasons to permeate the building’s activity. Each apartment is entered directly from the exterior, and a foyer vestibule/front porch begins the transition to private space, reminiscent of neighborhood front stoops, a threshold between in and out.

There are so many interesting stories about 450 Warren connecting city and nature - the building will include three planted courtyard gardens with smart irrigation systems from Netherlands-based MetroPolder; the first time this environmentally-friendly system has been used in a condominium in the United States. They are also partnering with the Gowanus Canal Conservancy to fill the shared courtyard with landscape design informed by plant species native to the Gowanus Greenway.

Residents will have access to a boutique gym, a yoga and meditation area, a dog wash station, and a flexible coworking lounge with additional courtyard tables and seating. Onsite parking is available for purchase with provisions for electric chargers and bicycle storage in the garage with access to both Bond Street and the center courtyard. 450 Warren will also include multiple retail spaces totaling over 4,000 square feet on the ground floor.

“With residences featuring significant outdoor space, beautiful finishes, and a unique design that perfectly encapsulates this moment in time, we have seen incredible interest already from buyers who want to live, work, and play in Brooklyn,” said Behzad Amiri of The Corcoran Group.

The materiality of 450 Warren is like nothing ever seen in New York City construction. 50,000 green-hued terrazzo-ground custom concrete blocks manufactured in Turkey form the facade, which are lifted into place individually by the masonry experts at the building. Stainless steel mesh from Germany will envelop the walkways and bridges throughout the center courtyard, where all exterior passages will have radiant heating.

Located in Gowanus, two blocks from the Bergen Street F and G trains, 450 Warren exists at the nexus of all the restaurants and bars, shopping, cultural institutions, parks, and waterfront access that Brooklyn has to offer.

Behzad Amiri is exclusively handling the sales and marketing for 450 Warren with Corcoran New Development. For an onsite tour of the model residence, contact 718.810.4012. Pricing starts at $1.675 million for a two-bedroom. Three-bedroom penthouses start at $3.35 million

Tips for Buying Your First House with a Partner

Couples in long-term relationships have different obstacles to overcome to make their lives better. The rising costs of rent and economic uncertainties are among the obstacles they must overcome to meet their objectives. These factors push couples to look for the best and practical ways to make their lives easier. Buying a house remains one of the practical ways that unmarried couples opt for. While this is a good idea, it is still important to consider the following tips for buying a house with a partner.

Evaluate Your Relationship and Finances

Buying a house with a partner is a big step in any relationship. An unmarried couple should be sure of the direction they are taking before making such a decision. It will serve their interest to evaluate the relationship before taking further steps in buying a house. It is important to ascertain that your partner can handle hardships and the related obstacles to owning a house. Most couples date for five years, on average, before settling down and deciding on getting married. Within this period, chances of a couple breaking up due to conflicting interests are higher. Finances are among the major causes of breakups. So, before buying your first house with your partner, ensure that you evaluate the relationship to make the right decisions.

Create Separate Must-Have Lists

Couples can disagree on even the smallest of issues. For the relationship to be productive, a couple needs to have many things they can agree on to lower the chances of conflicts. Create a must-have list and compare the things you feel the house should have before engaging in the house buying process. You will find it easier to streamline the process when selecting the right house. The location, the number of rooms, the size of the backyard, and the type of roofing materials are among the many things that should be on the must-have list. You should note that in North America, roof shingles are the commonly used material. This is on about 75% of all houses present. As a couple, you should have a must-have list to create a level ground for the things needed in the house.

Decide Who Is Applying for the Mortgage

You and your partner need to compare mortgage options and determine who is applying for the home loan before the search. This is crucial because buying a house is a commitment that needs everyone on board. You should understand that applying for a mortgage is like separate individuals for unmarried couples. This also means that you should evaluate your financial standing and agree on the best person to apply for the mortgage. You should be keen on personal needs such as rent costs that you are currently handling as they influence your financial preparation.

Decide How You Will Split Costs

If you reached a cohabitation property agreement on the house buying process, you still need to clarify the pending costs within the house. You need to furnish the house and make it hospitable and comfortable. It is important to decide on how you will split the costs and settle the additional house expenses. You should decide if buying a carpet is the right choice and how you will maintain it. On average, a carpet should last up to 15 years. This is after proper care and maintenance efforts. These additional expenses can be costly, and as a couple, you should decide how to split the costs.

Look for a Realtor to Mediate the Process

You need to have a professional who will listen to your dispute as a couple and help find effective ways to bridge the gap. There are also legal requirements that you should meet as an unmarried couple that calls for professional guidance. The experience and intimate knowledge of the market are what you need to streamline the house buying process. Working with a realtor makes it easier to find and buy and your first house with a partner.

Many stressful situations are present in life, and buying your first house with a partner is among the major ones. While you might find it easier to rent and cohabit with a partner, buying a house calls for proper information, guidance, and sane decision-making. Consider the above discussion and employ the highlighted tips to achieve your objectives.

A Look At The New Façade Of 212 West 93rd Street

Credit: Sara Fox Photography

Landsea Homes and Leyton Properties, the developers behind the ODA-designed 212 West 93rd Street, have just unveiled the boutique building’s show-stopping contemporary facade, and we now have photography showcasing this new architectural landmark on the Upper West Side.

ODA, the award-winning architecture firm known for its mold-breaking, human-centric design, conceived the 14-story condominium building as a vertical collection of 20 individual homes. But what makes 212 West 93rd Street unique is that ODA’s founder, Eran Chen, designed the building from the inside out, creating a layered effect with stepped terraces and oversized beveled windows to maximize light and air and seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor living spaces. As a result, a staggering 70 percent of the building’s residences offer outdoor space, with some terraces being larger than the average Manhattan studio apartment.

Once complete, 212 West 93rd Street will also include a new, ultra-modern home for the Shaare Zedek synagogue, which has been part of the community for over 100 years. The synagogue will be accessed through a separate entrance at the base of the building.

Located on the tree-lined block between Broadway and Amsterdam, 212 West 93rd Street is surrounded by the best of the culturally-rich Upper West Side. Just two blocks away from Central Park and Riverside Park, residents will have access to more green space than anywhere else in Manhattan, and the esteemed Museum of Natural History is a short walk away.

The Lindsey Stokes Team at Compass Development Marketing Group is the exclusive sales and marketing agent for the project. Construction is well underway with completion anticipated in 2021.
