The apartment lends itself perfectly to a contemporary lifestyle with a large open living space consisting of the living room, dining area, and kitchen.

“There is a simplicity in 98 Front Street’s design in the materiality and process that accentuates the building’s jewel box facade,” said ODA founder Eran Chen. “To provide residents with the best living experience we played with the geometry and layouts to create open floor plans that allow for flexible programming for living, working and entertaining at home, while maximizing the available light, air and outdoor spaces of each residence.  Each of our nearly 50 residential buildings across New York City has its own unique geometry and personality, and we're excited to see 98 Front join the ranks.”

Top priority was given to the building's luxurious amenities now being enjoyed by residents since they started living in their new homes earlier this year.

“Residents are likely going to be spending more time at home over the next year, so completing the amenities and landscaping quickly became our top priority—residents will be able to enjoy the building’s many amenities starting on day one,” said Sha Dinour, partner of Hope Street. “We look forward to unveiling 98 Front’s Penthouse Collection and Modern Garden Residences with separate guest houses."

On the ground floor, residents can relax in the indoor saltwater pool, steam room and spa after working out in the fitness center. Outdoor fitness is available on the 7,000-square-foot communal rooftop with views of the classic Manhattan skyline, BBQ stations, three outdoor kitchens and screening area. The Residents Lounge and co-working space complete the package for the homeowners of the chic units inside 98 Front.

The condominium recently made news as the first new development in Brooklyn to receive approval by Fannie Mae, allowing any lender nationwide to offer attractive rates and up to 95% of financing. This makes 98 Front the sole new development in Brooklyn to achieve it thanks to sales of over 50% of units.

“Today more than ever, achieving 50 percent sold and a Fannie Mae Approval is critical— especially as banks tighten their lending standards.  It helps buyers secure attractive financing options from any lender in order to benefit from historically low rates and up to 95 percent financing, minimizing their down payment,” continued Dinour. “98 Front has successfully met buyers' expectations by delivering finished condominiums on time, avoiding potential financing risks that are surfacing for purchasers at other new developments.  98 Front is the only new development in the area to have sold this number of units in such a short period of time, despite the pandemic.”

The developers also partnered with with Eqpt Residences—a turnkey, end-to-end interior design solution—to welcome design-savvy buyers to the building. Award-winning interior designer Tara Benet will create customized and "magazine-ready designs with none of the hassle" for the residents at 98 Front as part of the Eqpt Residences Custom Design Experience.

"As employees working remotely and see little reason to live close to the office, Manhattan apartment landlords are providing the biggest move-in concessions on record in an effort to fill empty units during the pandemic," says Elliot Bogod of Broadway Realty. "Rents tumbled 19% in January as listings continued to pile up. Special incentives and freebies averaged 2-3 months, most in over the last decade, which have helped somewhat. Many schools, colleges, and cultural attractions are also still shuttered. New lease signings jumped, but revenue for landlords is still slipping. With the value of concessions subtracted, the median rent in Manhattan plunged substantially."

Eugenia Foxworth of Foxworth Realty adds, "There are several thousand rental apartments available in Manhattan. Many people do not want to live in high rises since COVID-19. The reason that there has been an upsurge in renting in luxury full-service buildings is due to the lower rental cost. Many people are working remotely, have lost their positions, and are relocating to the suburbs. For example, on Central Park South, one apartment in particular was asking $15,000 per month and now it is renting for $,9999.  The landlords are offering from one to three months free on one to two-year leases. Some buildings are not increasing the rent when leases are expiring. It is advantageous for renters during this pandemic."

The panelists were hosted by Haute Living's Seth Semilof in a conversation focused on the impact the last months of quarantine had on the New York City's real estate market, and the current and future outlook of the industry in the City and its surroundings.

Highlights from today's webinar:

Ian Slater: "I haven't seen a huge pickup in the in the ultra high end of the market. But under $3 million, it's almost like a floodgate opened of people wanting to see things that had been previously unable to access anything and really want to get out there and buy again, probably seeking deals... I think that we will be in a pretty good place in December, assuming we don't have a second wave... We can be on both sides of a transaction, so we will always be active, and I hope the City will remain resilient, calm and smooth through the fall and the winter until we get a vaccine."

Julia Hoagland: "The obituary of New York has been written many times before, and here we are, here we will be. Yes, there will be a shift to the population, but I think some people will come in to the City. We've actually had someone that has lived outside the City and they're seeing this is a really good opportunity to trade out of a high tax environment in Westchester and come to have a lot of choice of properties that they might not have had, and affordability with the low interest rates.All of the tech investment that's happening across every tech firm that is doubling and tripling down on New York City, that makes me very secure in my feeling that New York is going to survive and thrive through this."

Cindy Scholz: "We've had agents from all over the country give different tutorials. So we basically have master classes for real estate on Compass University, and I found that to be very helpful and a good way to stay connected... Women of Compass started as a grassroots operation about three years ago. We had maybe 40 members, and women got together to help one another personally and professionally. Now we have over 5,000 members nationwide. Because New York City is very specific, when we were very much on lockdown, we were hearing from Nashville, Dallas, Chicago; places where they were actually able to show, and how they were navigating these times, and it was super encouraging to hear that."

Darren Sudenik: "We're just going through another evolution of New York. (The City) in the 80s wasn't what it was in the 2000s. Brooklyn is now the East West Village. So there's this connection and change. I think there's also going to be just a different attitude of how people think about where they live and its proximity to where they work. I think people are going to more than ever want to live where they work.... Prices need to correct for there to be an impetus to buy. Otherwise, there will be no impetus and we will be in the same place. So I'm hoping for a nice, healthy price correction. Just like the stock market, it always bounces back if it's a good stock, and New York is a good stock."
