New York City Luxury Rental Blog

The Upper West Side has always been known as an area in the city that’s managed to hold onto its neighborly feel, as the rest of Manhattan continues to grow upward. The classic low-rise towers, brownstone townhouses, tree-lined streets, and beautiful green spaces like Central Park are just a few things that make the Upper West Side a highly desirable place to live. New residential developments in the UWS are not as common, but luckily some of the residential buildings in the area that still have availability rank among the most lavish in the neighborhood. Here are three rental developments that you won’t want to miss!

In 2017, a new rental development was completed on York Avenue, one of the first in this location in quite some time. Sales at The Rose Modern began in 2016 before the building was finished, but some homes in this lavish Upper East Side rental are still up for grabs.

In 2014, renderings for a new Long Island City residential development were first revealed. Four years later, the development sits at 44-41 Purves Street completed and with gorgeous homes currently on the market.

Although it may seem like there is no more space for skyscrapers in Midtown, Extell Development has proven there is by bringing in 600 new homes and a stunning tower to this busy and exciting area.

Plans for a mega-development have been filed by Plaxall Realty, which is looking to rezone a waterfront area in order to bring a 5.8 million gross square foot mixed-use development to Long Island City, drastically changing the area.
