How to buy in a NYC New Development:


Easy to purchaseBenefit from a hassle-free purchase process with no board packages, interviews, and use your residence however you want—live, rent, or pied-à-terre.

Once an offer is accepted by the Sponsor, The Sponsor's attorney draws up the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement and Offering Plan are then sent to the purchaser's attorney for review.

Chatsworth Apartment conversion 340 West 72nd St.

Once both parties have signed the Purchase Agreement and the Sponsor receives a deposit, the residence is considered "in contract."

A Sponsor can only send out one contract per unit at a time for a New Development deal. 



This can be to your advantage to get a contract out on a property you may be interested in. If you change your mind you can easily withdraw offer.

If you’re facing a river or a park you are most likely safe of nothing going up around the area you are purchasing. If you are worried about views and are willing to spend a little extra money you can get the proof at least for the near future because a view can not be protected or guaranteed without owning the air rights.

Contracts are not very transparent, buyers need to get the right attorney and mortgage broker involved, it is very important to get a mortgage person that can finance in a new building. Everything has to be quick. 

It is important to have an experienced buyer's broker represent you in New Developments. On-site sales agents represent the seller/sponsor/developer's interests.
