The building exhibits a masterful layering of eras, containing references and elements of Art Deco, Mid-Century, and Bauhaus styles throughout, and is equipped with gracious layouts inspired by those of Rosario Candela and J.E.R.

This home, one of the last available, features spacious entertaining and dining areas with a layout that emphasizes volume and surrounding views.

Prioritizing a highly functional floor plan with classically modern, timeless detailing, 6 West is a 4,140 sq. ft. half-floor residence with north, south, and east exposures, infused with the architect's signature attention to detail throughout.

The south-facing living room has 17'6" ceilings and soaring 13' high windows offering views along East 79th Street and neighboring Park Avenue.

New York City Luxury Towers Inspired by New York History

Design inspiration can be found all over New York City thanks to the city's landmarked buildings and overall rich architectural history - not to mention its vibrant parks and green spaces. Now more than ever, architectural firms are looking at a building's environment to inspire its facade and overall exterior as a way of storytelling. With design steeped in New York City history, the new buildings listed below tell their own unique story of New York City's past and present.

150 East 78th Street

Located on the corner of 78th Street and Lexington Avenue, 150 East 78th Street - the condo development designed by award-winning architectural firm Robert A.M. Stern Architects - features an arched opening on 78th Street flanked by windows and metal detailing all painted a rich distinctive shade of green at the base of the building - a first for RAMSA and an ode to the metal conservatories that once existed in the surrounding Upper East Side neighborhood. The metal detailing and conservatories in a rich green continue as the eye travels up the building's facade and play beautifully against the warm tones of the brick and limestone façade.

200 East 83rd Street

Rising approximately 500 feet above the corner of 83rd and Third Avenue, 200 East 83rd is its own celebration of the Upper East Side's architectural romance. The tower's traditional masonry façade of hand-laid Indiana limestone is embossed with wildflowers that were native to the area. Robert A.M Stern Architects wanted to pay homage to this historic location by memorializing these now extinct New York flowers in a way that would provoke people to want to learn more while bringing a little bit of the past to the present. These intricate and eye-catching details are carved around the building's elegant custom-brushed blackened nickel front door, allowing them to be admired at street level. Expanding on the classic Upper East Side tradition, the building also features sculpted railings that echo the street’s treelined greenery.

Front & York

Designed inside and out by celebrated architect Morris Adjmi, Front & York is introducing the first opportunity to live in a full-service, luxury urban oasis in DUMBO. Inspired by DUMBO’s iconic Belgian-block streets and historic warehouse architecture, Front & York’s highly detailed, hand-laid brick façade is made of 1.2 million custom-made Glen-Gery bricks in a distinct hue that reflects the color of the surrounding streets. The intricate façade of the two 21-story residential towers is topped with a scalloped, custom-molded concrete superframe crafted in New York’s Hudson Valley, and the base of the building showcases signature arches inspired by the spandrels of the nearby and iconic Manhattan Bridge.

Vandewater

Vandewater is the first luxury residential condominium of its kind on Manhattan’s West Side. Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Morningside Heights, Vandewater offers 183 residences ranging from studios to four bedrooms. Designed by the celebrated INC Architecture & Design, the building is a fresh representation of the local classical neo-gothic architecture of the Manhattan neighborhood of Morningside Heights. Additionally, the building's facade material and color of weathered limestone pays homage to the nearby Riverside Church.

You Only Have One Chance to Make a Perfect Financial Impression: 5 Tips Every Buyer Must Know

The strength of the real estate market is dominating headlines. Recent reports reveal that nearly 400 Manhattan homes priced at $4 million and over went into contract during the first 12 weeks of 2022, breaking the record-high benchmark set just last year. Low inventory, frenzied scheduling, and bidding wars at all price points have become a hallmark of today’s real estate market. 

To help buyers put their best financial foot forward, industry veteran and top producing agent Scott Harris of Brown Harris Stevens offers the following tips:

On your mark, get set, go!

Scott Harris

To ensure that you are ready for action at the onset, have your down payment funds identified, know how long it might take to liquidate, and have your up-to-date financial statements at your fingertips. 

Scott and his team recently represented the seller of a prime listing that a buyer set their sights on. The buyer, however, had money tied up overseas and the timeframe for the government to approve the release of funds was over six weeks. The delay created an opening for another buyer to swoop in and win the deal. 

Don’t wait until the deadline. 

Scott is seeing very competitive bidding situations, and strong buyers are winning.  Your 2021 Federal and State Tax Returns will undoubtedly be required for financing and Board review as applicable – do not wait until April 18 to file. 

The team recently worked with a buyer who just moved from overseas and did not have a 2021 tax return. As a result, the buyer was on the losing end of three 3 bidding wars. The fourth time was a charm, Scott was able to call on a personal relationship with a member of the Board and appeal for special dispensation.  

With proper preparation, the higher bid does not always win. 

Rising interest rates are creating an even greater sense of urgency in an already frenetic market. A successful buyer will have a pre-approval in hand and a mortgage relationship just a phone call away. 

Case in point: Two buyers were vying for the team’s listing Downtown. One buyer had a preapproval, was outbid, and had to obtain a new preapproval. Simultaneously, a second buyer came in with an even higher bid.  Luckily, the first buyer demonstrated their financial qualifications, and the seller decided to stay with them. 

The clearer, the better. 

When communicating your offer, your agent will paint a picture of your financial standing with the seller’s agent. Make sure they have a clear understanding of your compensation package, stock options and bonus structure, as well as portfolio accounts and ancillary sources of income. 

Scott recently worked with a buyer with approximately $20 million in assets. The individual is retired, and income is derived by continually selling-off and buying new investments as part of their real estate investment portfolio. The activity can be confusing, and success is found in Scott’s ability to help the listing agent understand. 

Reputation matters. 

Your broker’s reputation can add or subtract from your bottom line. In a competitive market, you need to work with an agent that has strong relationships and an equally strong reputation within the brokerage community to avoid any overarching feeling of mistrust.

Although every bidding war will not be won, buyers find comfort in understanding why. In a recent competitive situation, Scott’s relationship with the listing agent allowed him to know that his buyer was the third highest offer and still lost by over $100,000! In another situation, his client won the bidding, and this was purely because of his relationship with the listing agent whom he happened to be working on another simultaneous deal with. Through those interactions, she knew that time was not being wasted and that the buyers were as qualified as they were serious about the property.
