CurbedWire: PriceChops at 129 Met, RentChops at Rockrose?

New, 15 comments

WILLIAMSBURG?129 Metropolitan is a smallish new Williamsburg condo project with 12 two-bedroom apartments. One of those units is currently listed on The Developers Group website as "contract out." Kind of stinks to be that guy, because a Curbed tipster forwards an e-mail from TDG laying out some fresh choppage on the building's 11 other units. Breakdown after the jump. Don't be shy about offering 20 percent below the new prices. [CurbedWire Inbox]

WEST VILLAGE & BEYOND?Are there people out there obsessed with cracking the code of luxury rental landlord Rockrose? It appears so. Our type of people! A tipster writes: "Rockrose seems to have a 'one month free rent' offer on all their apartments as per their website. No wonder given that there are 18 apartments without a tenant in their Archive building (666 Greeenwich Street) in the West Village alone. I don't have hard data but this is the highest level in years. I have also heard that tenants extending their lease have achieved discounts from existing rent levels from Rockrose. One friend achieved a discount of 15% on their renewal (relative to the old rent). Given the continued deterioration of the market since (this was a while ago), tenants renewing their lease should feel comfortable pushing Rockrose for better deals than that (taking a 15% reduction as a minimum)."
