WebID 27741

1500 square feet of interior space and over 500 square feet of private exterior space. A dramatic 30 foot high, exposed brick wall is only one of the features that make this loft truly unique. The main floor features an open kitchen with cherry cabinets, powder room, living and dining room. The master bedroom, full bath, office and sleeping alcove are located on the upper floor. Beamed ceilings throughout, in suite washer and dryer, a huge skylight and hardwood floors are some of the wonderful amenities of this airy, bright and spacious loft. Ideally situated in the heart of TriBeCa, near Duane Street Park. This historical and architecturally significant pre-war building was built by noted architect Stephen Decatur Hatch and was known as the Schepp building.  Nearby access to both West and East side express subway stops, steps to Washington Market Park, surrounded by the most hip restaurants, and two blocks from Whole Foods, the location could not be better. Whether you're hosting a sunset cocktail party on the terrace or having a quiet evening with someone special, this is the perfect home in TriBeCa.

Abraham Hidary's Hidrock Realty won the 100,000-square-foot office property at 960 Sixth Avenue in Herald Square this week in a long-expected foreclosure auction nearly eight months after his company bought a defaulted senior mortgage on the property for about $40 million.While Hidrock has been operating the building for months now, taking title removes ambiguity about ownership.Midtown-based real estate owner and brokerage Hidrock won the property at the scheduled auction at New York State Supreme Court in Lower Manhattan Wednesday. Hidary, president of Hidrock, is considering a variety of options for the 16-story property located between 35th and 36th streets, now vacant except for one office tenant on the second floor.

    Cushman retains key investment sales staff

    May 28th, 2010    Posted in Real Estate News
     
    alternate textFrom left: Helen Hwang, Richard Baxter, Scott Latham, Ron Cohen and Jon Caplan
    The high-profile departure of the four top investment sales brokers from Cushman & Wakefield to Jones Lang LaSalle made headlines earlier this month, but the beleaguered company was able to hold on to two key background players at the last minute, insiders said. The Cushman team led by brokers Richard Baxter, Scott Latham, Yoron (Ron) Cohen and Jon Caplan, took most of their junior associates and support staff that make up the 11 people that jumped ship earlier this month. It was the second blow for the firm in eight months and leaves it with a skeletal presence in New York City, brokers said. But Cushman was able to convince two key members of the investment group, broker Helen Hwang, and project manager Karen Wiedenmann, to stay. Both were among the most senior members of the team, focusing on institutional transactions. [more]

    Days numbered on FHA concessions

    May 28th, 2010    Posted in Real Estate News
     
    One of the key attractions of the Federal Housing Administration home mortgage financing is going, going -- but not quite gone. Sellers and buyers who move fast can still make the most of it. Sometime this summer, FHA plans to slash maximum "seller concessions" from 6 percent of the home price to 3 percent. Seller concession rules allow buyers to look to the property seller to pay for a variety of services and taxes connected with the transaction -- loan origination and local transfer fees, appraisals, inspections, closing and escrow costs among others -- though not the down payment. Say you're buying a $200,000 house. If you are using FHA financing under current rules, you can structure the contract so that the seller agrees to pay all closing costs and even some repairs the house needs at settlement, up to 6 percent of the price or $12,000. On a $400,000 house, allowable concessions go to $24,000. That's huge, especially if you have to struggle to come up with a 3.5 percent down payment and you're not sure where you'll find the closing and repair money. [more]
