I can honestly say I don’t know sh#$% about New York real estate nor really care but an article in the New York Magazine got me some what hooked on it. The article goes behind the scenes of one of the biggest real estate deals in Manhattan – Tishman Speyer, along with BlackRock Realty, agreed to buy Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, a sprawling 80-acre complex on the East Side of Manhattan, for a record $5.4 billion from MetLife. Best quote from the monster article:
“Stuy Town is the quintessential rent-stabilized apartment filled with well-educated old Jews, and you shouldn’t fuck with them,” says one affordable-housing advocate.”
