Part of HFZ Capital's plan to create new Manhattan condos that are (relatively) approachable in price is The Astor on West 75th Street, where the developer is taking the 212 units in the 1901 rental building and turning them into 100 condos that will start around $1.1 million.

This Related-developed, Robert A.M. Stern-redesigned conversion launched sales last week, with 325 units and prices ranging from $595,000 to $2.975 million, much to the displeasure of its former renters.

Another nominally "affordable" HFZ Capital project, this one is going from 264 rentals to 252 condos, priced between $1.1 million and $3.25 million. The teaser site touts "True New York Character in the Heart of Manhattan," whatever that's supposed to mean here.

Reviled East Village developer Ben Shaoul acquired both of Post Properties' New York City rental buildings this past summer for a combined $270 million. The one in Gramercy is called Post Luminaria (though probably not for long).

The other Post building, on the Upper East Side, is called Post Toscana. Shaoul has said that he "would love to have all the renters convert to owners... you could own a unit here and pay the same out-of-pocket costs as your current rent. We want to do this at a price point so that people can stay in their apartments." Suuuure.

Silverstone Property paid $17.9 million for this Gramercy rental building in 2013 and is in the process of remaking it into seven luxury condos, designed by PKSB Architects.

Glenn Rufrano of O'Connor Capital Partners bought this building last March for a steep $240 million and plans to complete the conversion by late 2015. One tenant claimed he was quoted a price of $2.75 million to buy his two-bedroom.

This Park Slope building was empty and dilapidated when developer Sugar Hill Capital Partners purchased it for $4.2 million, and decided not to raze it and instead convert it into four full-floor luxury condos with retail space on the ground floor.

Starwood Capital Group bought this landmarked building for $68.2 million last year and, along with the Naftali Group, is planning to drastically reduce the number of units, from 145 to 42, in the process of taking it condo. The architect of record is Beyer Blinder Belle.

This conversion is not underway, that we know of, but as of last April the Robert A.M. Stern-designed 400 Chambers Street was being market to any developers who wanted to take it in that direction, with an asking price of more than $300 million.

Another one from HFZ Capital, the 88 Lexington conversion sees developer Ziel Feldman taking a 177-unit Flatiron rental building and making into condos that include seven "studio penthouses."

The fourth and final of the buildings that HFZ Capital spent over $600 million buying is LexLofts at 90 Lexington Avenue, next door to the previous building.

Despite the fact that the Landmarks Commission was not into the idea of GTIS Partners adding a two-story addition to 101 West 78th Street (alternately known as 380 Columbus Avenue) the developer is still going ahead with its rental-to-condo conversion of the building. The reconfiguring will leave it with 16 units, with interiors by Stephen Sills & Associates.

One of two Upper East Side rental buildings that developer Harry Macklowe has taken condo (the other is 150 East 72nd Street), 737 Park Avenue finally hit the market a few months ago. Its "white box" penthouse is asking $39.5 million.

Though technically a rental-to-co-op conversion, the Upper West Side's The Chatsworth, which just launched sales, is certainly part of this trend. HFZ Capital (again) did the conversion, with Pembrooke and Ives designing.
