Just last Friday we pointed out that Ben Shaoul's new rental building at 31-33 Second Ave. had a fancy name to go with the 1970s-student-housing architecture — The East Luxe.
For more, we turn to the news release that arrived yesterday from the brokerage firm brokering the new building:
Completely renovated and redesigned, the 20-unit building offers one bedrooms through four bedroom apartments with slated occupancy for the beginning of 2015. The building, which offers units starting at $4,235 and your 2nd month of rent free, has an elevator and landscaped roof deck with views of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and the Manhattan Bridge. Each unit is appointed with condo finishes offering washer and dryer units in each apartment, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and marble bathrooms.
"The East Luxe is a true gem in the East Village," says Khashy Eyn, Founder/CEO of Platinum Properties. "We are excited to represent this boutique luxury property, which is distinct from any rental building that is currently on the market."
Distinct from any rental building that is currently on the market maybe ... not unlike Ben Shaoul's Bloom 62, which lists similar amenities.
