Behold, the Interiors of Extell's 80-Story Lower East Side Condo
Extell's Lower East Side tower dubbed One Manhattan Square, now on the rise alongside the base of the Manhattan Bridge, hasn't made many friends in the neighborhood. Maybe that's why the developer chose to launch sales of the $1-$3 million condos abroad before availing them to the states. Whatever the case may be, The Low Down got its hands on some of the overseas marketing materials which now bring a first, very comprehensive look inside the 850-foot building. In addition to first renderings of the 80-story tower's apartments, which will be designed by Meyer Davis, the materials also show off the building's surrounding gardens and the remainder of its 100,000 square feet of amenities, which are as over-the-top as they promised to be.
Live In a Upper East Side Luxury Rental From $607/Month
The 36-story Yorkville building at 205 East 92nd Street has launched the housing lottery on its affordable units, 6sqft reports. The Related Companies developed building has a total of 231 units out of which 47have been set aside for affordable housing.
After Boxy Revamp, Industrial Brooklyn Loft Asks $5,200/Month
It's hard to figure out a good descriptor for this quirky Carroll Gardenstwo-bedroom, located in the Court Street Lofts (formerly known as the Doehler Die Casting Factory). It's boxy, sure; 6sqft, which first spotted the listing, described it as "pixelated." But no matter: The important thing is that the place is really well-designed: It was gut-renovated and redone by SABO Project, a local design firm that wanted to utilize every inch of the space—and to that end, they created the cubes and half-walls that function as both storage space and room dividers. There are lofts, a totally redone bathroom, and even a built-in desk—and the whole thing is asking $5,200 per month.

At Last, Bay Ridge's 'Green Church' Will Be Rebuilt
A long dormant church redevelopment project is coming back to life in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Seven years after it was demolished, The United Methodist Church in the neighborhood, which was nicknamed The Green Church due to the color of the stone used on its facade, is now being rebuilt with a focus on environmentally-consciousconstruction, the Brooklyn Daily reports.
Which Restaurant Decor Trends Are Now Total Clichés?
Is it time to retire Edison bulbs, reclaimed wood, communal tables, stools as seating, and other restaurant decor trends seen here? Photo © W Dallas via Flickr.
We need to talk about contemporary restaurant interiors. In cities from New York to Austin to Los Angeles, trends in food—especially the farm-to-table movement and other locavore, organic, and artisanal menu offerings—have encouraged an ironically bland sameness in restaurant interior design (think long, "communal" tables and benches, and reclaimed wood galore). To add insult to injury, as this fantastic piece by Eater critic Robert Sietsema charting the decline of restaurant comfortability points out, restaurants just aren't as hospitable as they once were. The goal of many restaurants—especially ones in the mid to lower end of the spectrum—seems to just be getting diners in and out. Certain decor choices serve as effective means to that end.
Design-Conscious Co-Op Comes With a Key to Gramercy Park
For many New Yorkers, a key to ultra-exclusive Gramercy Park is like the Holy Grail—something many people want, but few will ever actually get. But if you have a spare $3.6 million sitting around, this three-bedroom co-op can fulfill that dream—located at 60 Gramercy Park North, an Emery Roth-designed building, it comes with one of those coveted keys. The apartment itself is owned by Mercedes Desio and Alberto Villalobos of the design firm Villalobos Desio, and predictably, the home has plenty of design-y flourishes, including a renovated chef's kitchen, master bath, and powder room. Building amenities include a doorman, bike storage, and a gym (and you'll pay for them—maintenance is $3,551 per month), along with the perk of having Gramercy Park as, essentially, your backyard.

Brooklyn Is Getting More Apartments Than Anywhere In the U.S.

Tribeca Townhouse With Glassy Interior Courtyard Asks $20M
If Don Draper, the protagonist from AMC's wildly popular TV show Mad Men, had a home in Manhattan today, this just might be it. The stylishly appointed, industrial chic townhouse at 75 Warren Place in Tribeca features tons of midcentury flourishes like the panelling on the staircases, and the chairs in the living and dining rooms (although the sellers will probably take those with them.) An elevator on the ground level runs up to the fifth floor of the six-story house, where the kitchen's positioned under an 18-foot ceiling and alongside a formal dining room. The middle of the fifth floor is overtaken by a glass-walled courtyard—one of three in the townhouse. There's also a courtyard on the sixth floor adjacent to the rooftop terrace, and an interior courtyard on the fourth floor, alongside the master bedroom. In all, the townhouse has five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and four working fireplaces. Some of the townhouse's other highlights include a den with a 23-foot skylit ceiling and double-story bookshelves. The townhouse was built with a combination of corten steel, concrete, and glass, and is currently on the market for $19.995 million.
Critics of Mayor de Blasio's Citywide Zoning Proposals Multiply
Mayor de Blasio's 10-year, $41 billion affordable housing plan is striking out with the city's borough boards. On Monday, Manhattan's borough board voted against two citywide zoning proposals that would affect the shape of new development and spur more affordable housing, making it the third in the city to reject the proposals, Crain's reports. The borough boards' opinion, like community boards', are only advisory. "It's a whole new approach and, of course, there'll be doubting Thomases at first," de Blasio said of his campaign platform, which has been tweaked in the past months to garner more support. "But I think over time, we'll be able to show people it works."

10 New York City Two-Bedrooms You Can Buy For $800,000
Welcome to a semi-regular feature, Price Points, in which we pick a relatively low asking price and a type of apartment, then scour StreetEasy to find the best available options around the city. Today's task: two-bedroom apartments around $800,000.
Sometimes it may seem like there's nothing available for buyers in New York City who don't want to spend upwards of $1 million on an apartment, but affordable options do exist—"affordable" being relatively speaking, of course. Take, for example, two-bedroom apartments: There are plenty available under seven figures, if you're willing to do some digging. Today, we're looking at two-bedrooms priced at or around $800,000—and we're starting with this Windsor Terrace condo, which has 1.5 bathrooms, a renovated kitchen, and high ceilings. It's slightly under our asking price, at $779,000.—Amy Plitt and Tanay Warerkar
