First time buying in New York is exciting. It’s also a lot, and most of the stuff that trips people up is completely avoidable with the right information upfront.

These are the six things I share with every first-time buyer before we even start looking. From building your team, to understanding your monthly carry, to what actually goes into a board package.

It doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. The buyers who come out happiest are the ones who prepare early and have the right people in their corner.

If you’re thinking about making a move, this is a good place to start.

This one is truly one of one.

You step off a private elevator landing directly into 26 feet of floor-to-ceiling glass, with the Hudson River on one side and the Brooklyn Bridge on the other. It’s rare to have both, and even rarer for it to feel this livable.

Just over 3,000 sq. ft. of private outdoor space spread across two rooftop terraces, designed with a level of intention you don’t often see.

Inside:
✔️ Wellness & Recreation
Rock climbing wall, private gym, sauna and steam, and a primary bath that feels more spa than apartment

✔️ Outdoor Living
Two rooftop terraces totaling ~3,000 sq. ft.
Viking outdoor kitchen, fire pit, bamboo garden

✔️ Work & Living
Dedicated home office
Internal elevator connecting all three floors

✔️ Building & Security
Full-time doorman
Integrated security system with sensors throughout

Hard to come across something that brings all of this together in one place.
