don’t get the wrong idea
after having lunch at the cuban place on spring street (go support them being open on saturdays!), shannon and i checked out apartments in metro 417, also known as the subway terminal building. we were shown a two-bedroom apartment which wasn’t terribly exciting, but then saw two one-bedroom apartments on the 8th floor that were both pretty cool. one had a bit of a view of pershing square, and obviously was good for afternoon light, and one had a view over angel’s knoll park, and was good for morning light. we also got to see the rooftop deck (with hot tub) and second-floor lounge, screening room, and exercise room.
the prices are high, but the apartments (and amenities) are quite nice.
i averaged it out. the 2 bedroom was about $2.24 SQ/FT and the 1 bedroom with a view was $2.94 SQ FT. i'll blog the fine print that i read on economic qualifications...very interesting. so when are we moving in?? ;)
