Put all your eggs together and buy The Robyn



Residents started moving into The Robyn, the 33-unit luxury rental at 316-318 E. Third St., late last summer.

Now the whole building between Avenue C and Avenue D has arrived on the market.

Here's the listing via Cushman & Wakefield:

The building, known as “The Robyn,” was completed in 2014 using high quality, energy-efficient materials and features a virtual doorman, video security, and a common patio. Each apartment features stainless steel appliances and granite kitchens, baths, and in-unit washer/dryers. In addition, multiple residences feature private outdoor space. The building is 100% leased at a below market average in-place rent of $59/NSF.

The property benefits from a 421a tax abatement with eight years remaining. The building is centrally located in the East Village and within steps of the Lower East side providing a tremendous variety of the city’s best restaurants and nightlife. It is also steps from the 14D bus stop and four blocks from the F train stop at 2nd Avenue. This is an excellent opportunity for an investor to purchase a high cash flowing, low maintenance asset in the heart of the East Village.

No word on the price in the listing.

And is East Third Street between Avenue C and Avenue D really "in the heart of the East Village" like the listing says? (You actually don't have to answer that.)

The lot was formerly home to a single-family residence. Preservation groups to try to protect the circa-1835 house from demolition, but the Landmarks Preservation Commission rejected a hearing.

  1. I hope that despicable two-faced hypocrite Barden Prisant is choking on the money he made by selling his lovely townhouse while simultaneously selling out the neighborhood he claimed to love so much.

  2. Waiting a minute: it's in the East Village and steps away from the Lower East Side? Is this a parallel universe?
