Soaring ceilings, sun-drenched spaces, and sustainability at its finest — discover 70 Little West Street #5C at The Visionaire.

This oversized one-bedroom in Battery Park City’s first LEED Platinum-certified condominium is more than just a home — it’s a blueprint for smarter urban living.

Set within 930 SF of luxurious design, Residence 5C features 11.5-ft ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows that flood every corner with light, a spacious chef’s kitchen, and a king-sized bedroom with custom-built-ins and a spa-like bath.

Living at The Visionaire means enjoying unparalleled amenities — from the 50-foot skylit pool and fitness center to a landscaped rooftop garden — along with state-of-the-art green features, such as blackwater recycling, hospital-grade air filtration, and energy-efficient systems that support your health and investment.

About the Ground Lease
Like all Battery Park City properties, The Visionaire sits on land leased from the Battery Park City Authority. The monthly ground lease is built into the common charges — a structure that provides exceptional long-term value and stable financing options. Recent reports indicate that, despite common misconceptions, these properties appreciate in line with the broader Manhattan market.

Located steps from parks, dining, shopping, and top transit, The Visionaire offers a tranquil downtown lifestyle with lasting value.

108 Fifth Avenue #8B — Renovated Corner Condo with Private Outdoor Space | 2 BEDS | 2 BATHS | CONDO | 1,300SF | $2,457,000 | C.C. $2,307 | Tax $2,068

Light, space, and location converge in this beautifully renovated, sun-filled corner residence with two private terraces and open-sky views over iconic Fifth Avenue.

Set high on the 8th floor of an intimate, 50-unit condominium in the heart of the Flatiron District, this rare 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a coveted blend of scale, privacy, and convenience. The building features a 24-hour doorperson, live-in superintendent, pet-friendly policies, and boutique charm—without the footprint of a large amenity building.

At approximately 1,300 square feet, this freshly updated home features a thoughtful, split-bedroom layout ideal for both privacy and entertaining. The expansive living and dining area is flooded with natural light from oversized windows and opens to two private terraces—a true luxury at this price point. The pass-through kitchen connects to the living room via a pocket door and includes ample cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and generous counter space.

Recent upgrades include new light fixtures throughout, refinished hardwood floors in both bedrooms, fresh paint, and new moldings, making this home fully move-in ready. Both bedrooms are generously proportioned and easily accommodate king-size beds with side tables. The primary suite features an ensuite marble bath and a large walk-in closet. Additional features include a washer/dryer, through-wall A/C, and a deeded storage cage for added convenience.

Located just blocks from Union Square and Washington Square Park, enjoy access to the Union Square Greenmarket, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, top restaurants, shopping, and multiple subway lines—everything you need for daily ease and vibrant city living.

Financial Highlights & Building Strength
There will be no increase in common charges for 2024, reflecting proactive and prudent management. A separate 10% capital reserve assessment, in line with current Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac lending standards, ensures the building is well-prepared for long-term maintenance while preserving its financial health. This structure allows qualifying repairs to be funded through reserves rather than operating costs—and may offer potential tax advantages (buyers should consult their advisors).

This is a turnkey opportunity with private outdoor space in one of Manhattan’s most sought-after neighborhoods—a must-see for discerning buyers seeking light, location, and long-term value.

🏡✨ Big news in the housing market! Mortgage rates have dropped to their lowest level since February 2023, and that’s a game changer for anyone considering buying a home! 🎉

When rates go down, so do your monthly payments. 📉💰 For example, if you’re considering a $400k loan, you could save over $370 a month compared to this spring’s rates of 7.5%! Now’s the time to act if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy.

But here’s another layer to this story: cash sales in Manhattan have averaged around 50% of co-op and condo sales for the last decade. However, with rates hitting rock bottom during the pandemic, we saw cash sales dip to the low 40s as buyers jumped on those low mortgage rates. After all, who can resist “free money”? 💸

Bloomberg explores this shift in its report, Manhattan Homebuyers Are Starting to Favor Mortgages Over Cash. This trend shows that the urge to buy isn’t just tied to mortgage rates for wealthier buyers. As home prices rise, the likelihood of cash buyers also increases.
