Located at 205 East 92nd Street, this new rental building will rise 36-stories and bring 230 apartments to the uptown neighborhood.

Smoked Out: City-funded NPO Pushing for Smoking Bans in NYC Rentals

No Smoking in NYC Apartments

New York City has been not so quietly waging a war (quite successfully) against smoking. Mayor Bloomberg banned smoking in bars and restaurants during his first term, and since then, others, including real estate management companies, have decided to establish their own bans on smoking. Now, a nonprofit is reaching out to landlords and tenants, encouraging them to ban smoking in their rental buildings.

Related Companies Bans Smoking in All of its 40,000 Rental Units

Related Companies Bans Smoking in All of its 40,000 Rental Units

Ten years ago, Mayor Mike Bloomberg passed a measure that banned smoking in bars and restaurants throughout New York City. It was a move that was heavily criticized at that point of time, with many saying that it would hurt the city’s hospitality industry. But Bloomberg didn’t flinch, and the naysayers were left grumbling as he went on to expand the ban in 2011, which put an end to smokers lighting up in the city’s parks as well. Now, a real estate company seems to have taken a page out of Bloomberg’s grand book of ideas, and has moved to ban smoking from all of its rental apartments across the country.

Middle of Manhattan, Top of the World: New Luxury Rental MiMA Looking Like A Blockbuster

Manhattan real estate is the land of acronyms and abbreviations, and from Soho apartment listings to FiDi rentals to apartments on the LES, it's one that New Yorkers speak every day without even noticing it. So, in a certain sense, MiMA -- a hybrid new luxury rental and condominium building from The Related Companies whose name is short for Middle of Manhattan -- fits right in. In just about every other way, though, MiMA stands out -- for its location on 42nd Street and 10th Avenue, at the heart of booming Clinton; for its stellar suite of amenities; for its luxurious (and not-at-all cheap) apartments for rent. MiMA is as ambitious and extravagantly amenitized a new construction luxury rental development as Manhattan has seen since... well, since Midtown West neighbor The Ashley, probably. But MiMA is also further proof that Manhattan's high-end rental market is returning to robust health -- Manhattan rental listings don't come much more luxurious than this.

Birth of a Neighborhood: Meet "The Linc," The Lincoln Tunnel-Adjacent Semi-Neighborhood That's Home To Numerous New Manhattan Rental Listings

Manhattan is a lot of things, but it isn't a terribly big island, space-wise. Which is nice if you're walking, but presents a problem for the NYC real estate developers whose job it is to ensure an ever-growing number of Manhattan rental apartment listings. But just because Manhattan is full of millions of people -- and already home to many thousands of apartment rental listings -- doesn't mean that it's impossible to carve a new neighborhood from one of the last swaths of unused space in Manhattan. Meet "The Linc," a hopefully named semi-neighborhood rising in the hazy post-industrial area around the Lincoln Tunnel on Manhattan's west side. A recent rezoning -- in concert with that unslakeable thirst for new residential space -- has opened up The Linc (we can go without the quotes, right?) to a flurry of new construction residential development. In the Daily News, Jason Sheftell writes about what NYC dwellers can expect to see in The Linc over the next few years. Spoiler alert: the answer is new construction rental apartments, and lots of them, from such blue-chip developers as Glenwood and Related Companies.

From "No Fee" To "No, Fee": WSJ Reports That Landlords Less Willing To Pay Broker's Fees On Manhattan Rental Apartments

We obviously spend a great deal of time surveying the market for Manhattan rental apartments here at the Luxury Rentals Manhattan blog -- the fact that this is the Luxury Rentals Manhattan blog might've been some indication of this. But while there's plenty of good news for NYC dwellers looking for a luxury rental in Manhattan, and we do our best to report it, the one topic we've kept coming back to over recent weeks and months is the decline (or not-decline) of the renter's market in Manhattan real estate. For the time being, we'd describe the renter's market as, if you'll pardon the real estate jargon, "still kind of happening, for the most part." But while prices are still fairly low on Manhattan rental listings, the perks that defined the renter's market at its peak -- from landlords paying fees to highly negotiable listing prices on rental apartments -- seem to be fading into the past. In the Wall Street Journal, Dawn Potapka delivers an obituary for the days of landlords gladly paying fees on Manhattan apartments. Let us bow our heads:
