Frances - Thanks for pointing out Mr Plaza's sinister designs on the neighborhood of Jackson Heights and it's inhabitants.  We are forever in your debt.

Silly old me thought he was just trying to find a place to live like everyone else.

That $915k is going to look cheap in 5 years.

I am a little biased but I would take the 3BR at Washington Plaza over Elm Court.  That unit at Elm Court looks like it has frozen in time from the Eisenhower administration.  It would take considerable time, money, carrying costs, and frustration to get that unit anywhere close to the finishings of Washington Plaza.

Going by the Washington Plaza website, the $935k apartment is on the 5th Floor.

Looks like you wouldn't be alone on moving to Canada.

To answer your question, my choice would be London.  Love that city.

I was speaking to the lender for Washington Plaza last week and I believe they are currently doing a set of closings.  Per the discussion, there are closings in progress now and going out as far as March/April next year (depending on unit purchased and when the unit was purchased).

I took a look at the 1BR for $415k at the Berkeley today.  It is a really great apartment and I wouldn't be surprised if the contract settles well above that 415 number.

Made an offer of $435k for a $455k 1BR.  It was an initial 'test' offer but they basically responded no negotiations.  They were firm not only on price but on the transfer taxes and attorney fees as well.  They must be selling well and feel pretty confident that they don't have to consider anything but top dollar.  We couldn't come to an agreement so I am having to walk away.

Lilybell - I guess you got a deal compared to some  :-\

Hi Lilybell - any tips on the purchase process at Washington Plaza?  Were they negotiable or they firm on price?
