Urban Standard Capital, the New York-based real estate development and investment firm, in partnership with Compass Development Marketing Group  today announced the launch of sales at the boutique condominium 142 Flatiron, located at 142 W. 19th Street. Centrally located in the heart of Manhattan’s thriving Flatiron district, the newly constructed, eight story building was designed by Think! Architecture, and features an exclusive collection of just seven full-floor luxury homes including one penthouse, one townhouse and five graciously sized full-floor two-bedroom units.

We are confident that today’s modern buyer will really resonate with the expansive layouts, large windows and loft-like feel of the homes.”

142 Flatiron’s exterior was designed to seamlessly blend into its surroundings with a classic limestone facade illuminated by cascading bronze windows that pair beautifully with the lobby’s stylish Florim bronze tile accent wall, Porcelanosa walls and flooring. Inside, the homes were designed with modern living in mind with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows bathing the residences in natural light, wide-plank European oak flooring, and grand ceilings throughout. Direct elevator access to each of the seven homes provides a sense of exclusivity and convenience. 

Thoughtfully designed kitchens boast a suite of stainless steel appliances from Miele which shine against the white lacquer finish of the contemporary, hand-crafted custom cabinetry, rare Blue De Savoie marble backsplash, countertops, and waterfall island. Primary bathrooms were designed to feel like a luxurious  spa-like retreat featuring natural porcelain flooring, rich Bianco Carrara marble walls with bamboo marble accents, and  a custom walnut double vanity with Bianco Carrara countertop and basins. Chrome finishes by Dornbracht and a 59” freestanding soaking tub by Catino finish these impressive spaces.

“Today’s buyer is looking for homes with large, multi-functional layouts complimented by high-quality design and finishes, and locations that offer easy access transportation, restaurants, cultural offerings and shopping. 142 Flatiron checks all of these boxes”  said Scott Hustis of Compass who along with Mark Jovanovic will be marketing the property.

5 Notable Predictions for the 2023 NYC Housing Market

As the real estate market continues to evolve with technological advancements, it is becoming increasingly important to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to predicting the future of the NYC housing market. With that in mind, here are 5 notable predictions for the 2023 NYC housing market:

1. Demand for New Construction Homes Will Increase

With the population of New York City continuing to grow, the demand for new construction homes will increase significantly in the coming years. This increase in demand will be driven by millennial buyers and those looking to capitalize on the city's rapidly appreciating property values.

2. Luxury Home Prices Will Remain High

Despite the influx of new construction homes, luxury homes in NYC will remain in high demand and command a premium price. This is due to a larger number of wealthy buyers looking for the prestige and convenience that such homes offer.

Luxury homes in NYC offer a unique combination of convenience, prestige, and quality that draws buyers from around the world. These homes offer buyers a unique opportunity to live in a city that offers everything from world-class shopping and dining to a vibrant culture and nightlife. Additionally, luxury homes in NYC are often located in the heart of the city, providing buyers with easy access to some of the city’s most iconic attractions.  This is especially true for homes located in prime locations, such as those in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Buyers should expect to pay higher prices for these homes, as they offer a unique combination of quality, convenience, and prestige. 

3. Rental Prices Will Rise

With the housing market remaining tight, rental prices in NYC will continue to rise. With the high cost of homeownership in the city, many people are choosing to rent rather than buy. This is especially true for millennials and other young adults who often have lower incomes and higher levels of student loan debt. As a result, the demand for rental properties is increasing, driving up rental prices.

Another factor contributing to the rising rental prices is the lack of available rental units. With so many people wanting to rent in the city, the available supply of rental units is not keeping up with the demand. This creates a seller's market, in which landlords can charge higher prices and tenants are forced to pay them.

4. Tax Incentives Will Fuel Development

The current administration in NYC has made it clear that they are committed to incentivizing developers to build more affordable housing. This, combined with favorable mortgage rates, will likely result in a surge in development in the coming years.

5. Brooklyn and Queens Will Lead the Way

Brooklyn and Queens will be the most sought-after boroughs in the coming years, with both neighborhoods experiencing a surge in population and development. This increase in popularity is due to the neighborhoods having a more laid-back vibe than Manhattan, as well as the lower prices.

Conclusion

These predictions for the 2023 NYC housing market show that the real estate market in the city will remain vibrant and full of potential for buyers and investors. Those looking to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the market should ensure that they are well informed on the latest trends and developments.

6 Things to Keep in Mind Before Buying a Vacation Home Outside of NYC

A vacation home can be an escape from the hustle and bustle of the big apple. Buying a second home can be especially rewarding if you live in an apartment.

While owning a vacation home can enrich your life, it can also be a big responsibility. It's important to be prepared for the challenges of owning a second home before you make an investment.

1. Location Is Everything

If you're interested in a property, you should take the time to research the area beforehand. This is especially important if you plan on buying in an area that you're not familiar with.

You should pay especially close attention to the area's crime rates. There were almost 35,000 theft arrests in Pennsylvania throughout 2019. Make sure that the property you're buying is in an area that you'll be comfortable spending time in.

2. Take Your Lifestyle Into Consideration

When you're looking at vacation properties, it's easy to think with your heart rather than your head. Before you make any big decisions, you should take a deep breath. Consider what type of property would be a good fit for your lifestyle.

If you only plan to use the vacation home a few times each year, you may want to look into renting out the property. This can be an excellent way to bring in extra income that will cover some of your household expenses.

3. Set a Realistic Budget

Homeownership can be expensive, even when you're buying a vacation property. In addition to looking at the cost of a mortgage, you should look at other expenses you'll be covering, such as utilities and home maintenance.

Since you won't be at your vacation home all the time, you may want to invest in landscaping services. Some of the most popular landscaping services in the U.S. include tree care, which is used by 51% of clients, and mowing, which is used by 50% of clients. 46% of people that use landscaping services invest in lawn pest control, and 42% use weed prevention services.

4. Find the Right Realtor to Work With

There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration when you're buying a vacation home. That's why it's a good idea to work with a real estate agent that has experience with vacation properties.

An experienced realtor will also be familiar with local laws and will be able to give you more information about your options. This is especially important if you plan to rent out the property in the future.

5. Make Sure the Home Is In Good Condition

Even if a property looks great, it may need serious maintenance. You'll want to have a home inspector look for potential problems before you buy. If you have to make updates to the home, it could increase your total costs.

If you plan on using your vacation home in the summer, you may want to invest in a new HVAC system. Data from Comfy Living shows that the global market for HVAC systems was at $240.8 billion back in 2019. The right HVAC system will keep your property at a comfortable temperature whenever you use it.

6. Don't Look at a Vacation Property as an Investment

Real estate is a valuable asset, but it's best to treat a vacation home as a recreational purchase. Maintaining multiple properties can be costly, and you may not earn as much on a vacation property as you would on other types of investments.

Instead of thinking about what you could potentially earn, you should focus on the enjoyment you'll get out of your second home. Be patient and aim to buy a vacation property you love.

If you live in an NYC apartment, buying a vacation home can be a wonderful way to get away from it all. Take the time to consider your budget and research your options so that you can find a property that's right for you.

New Parks And Developments Reshaping New York's Waterfront

Today we are taking a look at New York’s changing waterfront and the top five new developments that are driving the dramatic transformation of all five borough’s rivers and harbors. 

Possibly the most well-known island on the planet, Manhattan's waterfront has long been some of the most coveted real estate in the world. As the city has expanded over the years, driving growth into the outer boroughs, waterfront property in close proximity to the City has also exploded. Below is a brief overview of the top five projects driving major development along the waterfront. 

River Ring

River Ring by Bjarke Engels & Two Trees (Williamsburg)

The River Ring Waterfront Master Plan is a development on the Williamsburg waterfront that will create a new model for urban waterfront resiliency with the aim of transforming the way New Yorkers interact with the water. River Ring responds to long-standing community plans and real-time community feedback by repurposing a former industrial site for much-needed housing and completing a continuous public waterfront in North Brooklyn. The whole complex includes 1,050 new units of housing and comprises a pair of futuristic-looking towers designed by Bjarke Ingels and a circular breakwater structure jutting out in the East River, surrounded by salt marshes and tidal flats designed to soak up storm surges.

Astoria West

Astoria West on Cove Beach by Cape Advisors (Astoria, Queens)

This brand-new residential community located on the waterfront in western Astoria is bringing 534 homes and much needed residential inventory to this area of Astoria. Situated along the East River waterfront’s Cove Beach, the amenity-driven development was designed by Fogarty Finger and comprises three buildings with an inner courtyard garden and 40,000 square feet of amenities. Astoria West’s ideal waterfront location affords incredible views from the property, and will infuse the neighborhood's restaurants and businesses with a new community of clientele.

The Gansevoort Peninsula

The Gansevoort Peninsula (Meatpacking)
Gansevoort Peninsula is a riverfront park by landscape architects James Corner Field Operations that will be home to Manhattan's first public beach. The 5.5-acre park, which will also include lawns and sports facilities, is expected to be completed by spring 2023. Located between Gansevoort Street and Little West 12th Street, the park will be part of Manhattan's Hudson River Park. This four-mile-long park stretches along the Hudson River and features developments such as British designer Thomas Heatherwick's Little Island, which opened last week. The Whitney Museum of American Art is currently building a permanent installation by artist David Hammons on the southern end of the Gansevoort Peninsula.

Want To Maximize Your Sun Exposure This Winter? Move Into One Of These Luxury Homes In New York City

Frankly, These are The Best Hot Dogs in New York City

New Yorkers know their hot dogs. From the annual Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest to “Dirty Water” dogs served from push carts around the city, it’s a dog-eat-dog city. Below are the best wieners we’ve tried.

Frankly by Snap-O-Razzo

Just in time for the New Year, acclaimed Chef Ralph Perrazzo (AKA the Hot Dog King of Las Vegas, and probably even the world) brought his beloved hot dog brand Snap-O-Razzo to New York City with the opening of his first brick-and-mortar concept, Frankly by Snap-O-Razzo, inside CITZENS Manhattan West. Inspired by his grandmother’s Italian sausages, Chef Perrazzo began making homemade Italian sausages as a teenager and honed in on his meat skills while at the Culinary Institute of America. Chef Ralph’s whole menu is elevated and artisanal, but some of the must-order items include Ralphie's Favorite Dog, which is a choice of Beef and Pork Hot Dog or an All Beef Hot Dog topped with Ralph's Hot Dog Sauce, Sauerkraut, & Spicy Brown Mustard, a Chicago-ish Dog, Chili Cheese Dog, a Corn Dog and Pickle Corn Dog. There is also a “build your own dog” perfect for customization.

e’s Bar

e's Bar may be a neighborhood joint filled with fun, games and laughs, but they are serious about one thing – their food and drinks! In particular, a must-try is their Spicy Hot Dog – a Kosher dog with house-made spicy slaw. The dog pairs great with one of the many beers on tap and is easy to eat as you play a game of Connect Four, Jenga or cards.

Crif Dogs

A speakeasy and a hot dog stand meet in the East Village. Sounds like a weird joke but it’s not! Crif Dogs serves creative dogs each with personalities as unique as those ordering. Signature menu items include the “Chihuahua,” a bacon-wrapped Crif dog with sour cream and avocado; The “Spicy Redneck”, a bacon-wrapped Crif dog, chili, cole slaw, pickled jalapeños and the “Everything Dog,” a Crif dog, cream cheese, scallions, everything bagel seasoning. Spot the telephone booth inside the hot dog stand and you may get lucky enough to enter into Please Don’t Tell (PDT) speakeasy.

Katz’s Delicatessen

A legendary Lower East Side deli counter known for its mountainous pastrami sandwiches, Katz’s is also playing in the hot dog arena with its all-beef frankfurter. The natural casing provides an extra "snap" and can be finished off with accouterments like Sauerkraut and deli mustard. Unlike the gargantuous sandwiches, you can probably fit a few of these in your belly without exploding.

Schaller & Weber

Schaller & Weber takes you back in time to when stopping by the butcher and deli counter was like seeing family. They have been supplying Yorkville with German meats and sausages since 1937. Head inside the shop for the full experience if you have the time, or pop by the street-facing, quick-serve window Schaller’s Stube’s to order a juicy sausage that has stayed true to the recipes of the founder Ferdinand Schaller but with twists. Choose from bratwursts, cheddar brats, chicken brats, smoked sausage, knackwursts and beef wieners. Inventive creations include the Currywurst topped with curry ketchup and powder, The Saigon Special with daikon-carrot slaw and sriracha aioli, and the Bougie Brat with truffle, prosciutto, and crumbled goat cheese.   

Papaya King

Papaya King is the creator of tropical drinks and franks since 1932 and a staple of the Upper East Side. It’s a fast-food style joint founded by Gus Poulos, a Greek immigrant, that combines the spirit of the Caribbean spirit with simple yet succulent franks.

Rudy’s Bar and Grill

Rudy’s Bar and Grill is a no-frill bar that has been serving up a free hot dog with every drink you buy since 1933. The iconic life-size pig and worn red booths (now mainly held together with duct tape) are as much of a staple of the plump hot dog. Enjoy your dog in the speakeasy-like atmosphere or on the back patio.

3 Reasons Why Your Real Estate Listing Isn't Getting Traction

New York City is notorious for its hot real estate market, which makes it odd when your real estate listing doesn't get as much traction as you would expect. If your listing isn't picking up as many eyes as you think it should, there could be something wrong. Here are a few things that could be preventing your listing from heating up.

1. Your Server Is Experiencing DDoS Attacks

DDoS attacks have been on the rise. Layer 7 DDoS attacks increased in frequency by 573% quarter-by-quarter in 2021 alone. These attacks are targeting several different industries. The real estate market is no different. A denial-of-service attack is a type of cyberattack that happens when a cybercriminal wants to make your website unavailable to users by disrupting the server host. The attack spams the server with fake requests to access a website, making it difficult or even impossible for potential renters or buyers to see your listing. Make sure that the website you're using to host your listing has a secure web server host to protect your listing from DDoS attacks.

2. You're Using the Wrong Website Content

Content is everything. With hundreds of rental and real estate websites out there, you need to stand apart. Here's where creativity comes in. One realtor made national headlines for listing a home in New Hampshire in a Michael Myers costume from the 'Halloween' franchise. His photos not only drew attention but his creativity also helped create the sale.

While not everyone has that level of creativity, there are plenty of ways to spice up your listing. People want to envision themselves in a space. When they're looking for a house, they want it to speak to them and their personal style. The first step is to take great images. You wanted images that were of higher quality. Depending on your market, staging the interior of your listing before selling it can increase even more interest.

SEO and a well-worded listing will stand out as well. When looking at listings, describing properties in a way that tells a story is more interesting and they're less likely to scroll past the boring 'four-bedroom, two-bath, single-family.'

3. Your Listing Is in an Unfavorable Neighborhood

There are going to be times when there is a listing in a neighborhood that is less than desirable. So, how do you turn around and sell a property that nobody wants to picture themselves in?

Increasing curb value can do wonders. Curb value is one of those investments that pay off. Having new features such as windows can significantly increase the value of the property. The great thing about increasing the curb value of one building - the properties around it will either need to follow suit or see the value of their own properties drop.

Doing minor remodeling and staging on the inside of the property can do wonders as well. Again, it's like the initial photographs that you take with any new listing. It needs to look like something that someone could picture growing in. You can do small remodels such as lighting, painting, or flooring.

New Year, New Real Estate Outlook

If 2021 was a crazy year, 2022 was downright schizophrenic.  We started the year at an unprecedented rate – each well-priced and properly-positioned property garnered market interest and enthusiasm and contracts were signed as quickly as they could be written. Third quarter brought the juxtaposition of real estate headlines warning of instability, a looming recession and increasing interest rates. Through it all, demand met limited supply, albeit at a slowing pace.  

Buyers are adjusting to the new norm of interest rates by seeking creative financing options and value in their purchases. Sellers are beginning to adjust as well with pricing that is more in-line with buyer expectations. 

Looking ahead to 2023, I anticipate continued stabilization to emerge from this transitional time.  I offer the following tips for buyers and sellers. 

Buyers

• Get excited! Nearly every listing still on the market is owned by a real seller; there are great deals to be had.  

• Start now and see properties and even make offers.  There is far less competition and many buyers still waiting on the sideline.  

Sellers

• Price your property to the market, and you'll get interest and offers. There is less uncertainty than there was a few months ago.  

• Buyers' excitement is directly correlated to their comfort with mortgage rates.  With a rate environment that appears to be softening right now -- and low levels of inventory -- buyers seems to be adjusting.  Therefore, there's no point in waiting for housing prices to recover to 2021 pricing.  Take advantage of buyer interest now.  

• Pay close attention to rate drops -- and stock market upward moves -- as a cue to "catch the wave" of buyers.  Go to market on the heels of one, or both, and you'll see more buyer interest.

These Wines Are The Perfect Bottle To Any Holiday Party

You have 4 holiday parties in 3 days and are unsure what to bring anyone. The perfect gift is one that can be shared together and something you may be able to enjoy yourself, none other than wine! Not sure what to bring for such an occasion, we’ve rounded up the perfect wines for holiday giving.

Yellow Label Fridge Gift Box

The Veuve Clicquot Fridge is an audacious chill box inspired by the refrigerators of the 1950s. Re-edited in collaboration with the pioneering industrial designer SMEG, the Clicquot Fridge is now plastic-free and constructed in recyclable tin, with a removable wedge made from 100% sugarcane waste so that it can be upcycled as a designer box. The Clicquot Fridge keeps any bottle chilled for up to two hours and is infinitely recyclable.

Tenuta Luce, Luce Toscana IGT 2019

Tenuta Luce, Luce Toscana IGT 2019 ($130), is the flagship wine of the Luce estate in Montalcino, Italy. An iconic Super Tuscan wine born in 1993 from the partnership between Napa legend Robert Mondavi and Vittorio Frescobaldi of the historic Marchese de Frescobaldi family empire of Tuscany. Translating to “Light” this powerful, bold blend of Sangiovese and Merlot will delight everyone with its velvety mouthfeel and a deep, complex flavor profile that displays everything from vanilla and cocoa to a fresh cigar box.

The Merry Meiomi Reds

The Merry Meiomi Reds bundle includes three delicious reds from our California-wine portfolio: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Red Blend. The Cabernet Sauvignon boasts flavors of blackberry, minty herbs, and boysenberry to name a few. The full flavors are highlighted by a plush, velvety mouthfeel with a long finish. Our Pinot Noir is aged for six months in French oak barrels, resulting in an expressive and juicy strawberry flavor with notes of dark berries and toasted mocha. And the newest, the Red Blend, draws you in with its strong flavors of berries, currants, and dark roast mocha, which are accompanied by aromas of toasty oak + vanilla.

Sonoma-Cutrer Rose of Pinot Noir 2021

The 2021 Rosé of Pinot Noir is a beautiful and delicate example of why Russian River Valley Pinot Noir makes a wonderful rosé. The beautiful, light salmon color of the wine catches the light in the glass and opens up with aromas of tangerine, pink grapefruit, strawberry, raspberry and a light hint of rose petal. A crisp, refreshing mouthfeel accentuates the fresh fruit flavors of citrus, red berry fruit with a tropical twist that leads to a long, juicy and tangy finish. It is the perfect warm weather wine to sip on all summer long.

Castello del Terriccio Lupicaia Toscana IGT 2016

Castello del Terriccio Lupicaia Toscana IGT 2016 (SRP $150) is a classic Super Tuscan and one of the most iconic Italian wine bottle labels in history. This blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot debuted in 1993 and has since then received numerous international awards. It is a full-bodied, complex wine, with fine aromas of tobacco, dark fruit, chocolate, and spices. With its elegant tannins and a persistent finish, Lupicaia will age beautifully for a very long time.

San Felice’s Poggio Rosso

This holiday season, you can’t go wrong with an earthy Chianti Classico on your dinner table! San Felice’s Poggio Rosso is the perfect Tuscan choice to serve to your guests all season long. 

This ruby red wine has a nose that releases scents of dried plum, blackberry, and raspberry. With velvety tannins and a judicious acidity on the palate, it is a wine of extraordinary longevity. It pairs well with grills and barbecues, wild game, and aged pecorino cheese.

Not only is this the perfect wine to serve your friends and family, but it also makes a great gift for any wine lover in your life! 

San Felice Vigorello 2018

2018 has began with an early sprouting due to high temperatures in March and April, followed by a fairly rainy May. Temperatures have started to rise again since June; summer temperatures in the norm with scattered rains. The month of September in particular saw a succession of sunny days but with a great thermal excursion between day and night, which allowed the grapes a proper phenolic and aromatic maturation

2021 Edna Valley Pinot Noir

The Pinot Noir grapes come from a highly-coveted vineyard block in Edna Valley, where cooling Pacific night winds create a unique microclimate ideal for ripening. We use low intervention methods championed in old-world regions like Burgundy, resulting in a nuanced and balanced wine that reflects its terroir. Each Juliet Eco-Magnum™ contains two bottles’ worth of wine that stays fresh for six weeks once opened.
