I noticed this sentence in the article: The complex has been awarded “Recognition for the Historical and Architectural Merit” by the Queens Historical Society and has National Register Historic District status. Can that be correct? Since when is Washington Plaza in the historic district?
They posted a new document in the lobby yesterday that listed 28 sales. That figure doesn't include current tenants who plan to purchase their own apartments. They need 15% bona fide purchasers for the conversion to go through, and they are at 14.78%. They haven't sold any of the 900K ones yet but the other ones are going pretty quickly.
Hey Simka! I ended up purchasing a renovated unit
Shelby - thank you! I'm pretty excited and feel sort of like a grown-up (at 45!). jleach - they were very firm on price - I lowballed them at first because I know they want my current apartment to turn it into a 2-bedroom. They basically laughed at that offer. I was only able to get them down by 2K. However, they raised the prices by 10-15% after I purchased, so I have no idea if they are still so firm. I know that everyone who bought before the price increase paid full price (or at least that's what I was told - I'm assuming they were truthful since that info will be public at some point). They agreed to pay the transfer tax if I would agree to pay the full asking price (2K more than what they first accepted). I agreed because it ended up saving me 7K in the long run.
