Competing for You: Developers Aim to Please with Amenities

Midtown's cityscape offers a variety of new constructions and older buildings.

Last year, Luxury Rentals Manhattan shared some of our favorite building amenities — and it took a while to put together, since there are so many great spaces out there — and that may be for a good reason.  “Amenity creep” is what the New York Times used to describe the trend (especially as it applies to Brooklyn and Queens as new construction rentals pop up on the waterfront) of developers using better amenities and services to attract renters.  To be sure, attracting tenants in such a demanding market segment has become progressively more difficult, and the developers’ collective response was to compete with the best fixtures in-unit, and best amenities in-building.

17 Displaced Renters of Atlantic Yards Headed Back to the Neighborhood

The Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn was one of the most contentious real estate developments seen in New York City in recent times, with critics lashing out at the 22-acre project that would see commercial office space, residential housing and a swanky sports arena arrive in Downtown Brooklyn. Of the three components of the Forest City Ratner project, the Barclays Center arena opened up a few months ago, and now, the next in line seems to be the housing units, with the first Atlantic Yards apartment building scheduled to be open by summer 2014.
