Buffalo-Niagara Investment

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:01:00 GMT

Real estate is cyclical. When it rebounds, it comes back stronger.This is why it's great time to invest in the Buffalo-Niagara region now before prices go up.

FRESH KILLS PARK

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:18:00 GMT

At 2,200 acres, Freshkills Park will be almost three times the size of Central Park and the largest park developed in New York City in over 100 years. The transformation of what was formerly the world's largest landfill into a productive and beautiful cultural destination will make the park a symbol of renewal and an expression of how our society can restore balance to its landscape.

In addition to providing a wide range of recreational opportunities, including many uncommon in the city, the park's design, ecological restoration and cultural and educational programming will emphasize environmental sustainability and a renewed public concern for our human impact on the earth.

While the full build–out will continue in phases for the next 30 years, development over the next several years will focus on providing public access to the interior of the site and showcasing its unusual combination of natural and engineered beauty. While nearly 45 percent of the site was once used for landfill operations, the remainder of the site is currently composed of wetlands, open waterways, and unfilled lowland areas. The tops of the landfill mounds themselves offer spectacular vistas of the expansive site, as well as views of downtown Manhattan.

Foreign Investment In NYC

Russian property buyers are continuing to look for New York City real estate, according to an analysis of Russian investment trends by the Moscow Times. High-profile investors have been pursuing a $200 million deal with Atlantic Yards, and have reportedly stepped up interest among Russian real estate buyers. While some expect real estate prices in New York City to fall further, industry experts say that Russians investors are drawn in by the weak dollar and are viewing New York real estate for its long-term value.

Need search term to find info on sponsor (owner of unsold units in condo) impact

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:14:00 GMT

Need to search your site for info/articles/etc. on impact of sponsor holdings in well-established condo in prime NYC neigborhood. Unable to find reputable/known lenders for my refinance (from ARM to 30yr fixed, w/small cash out), low LTV. This was not an issue at all 5 years ago when I bought. Now apparently known banks are using 10% sponsor ownership as cut-off point for financing in buildings like mine.

STATEN ISLAND'S BLUEBELT

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:41:00 GMT

The Staten Island Bluebelt is an award winning, ecologically sound and cost-effective storm water management for approximately one third of Staten Island's land area. The program preserves natural drainage corridors, called Bluebelts, including streams, ponds, and other wetland areas. Preservation of these wetland systems allows them to perform their functions of conveying, storing, and filtering storm water. In addition, the Bluebelts provide important community open spaces and diverse wildlife habitats. The Bluebelt program saves tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure costs when compared to providing conventional storm sewers for the same land area. This program demonstrates how wetland preservation can be economically prudent and environmentally responsible.

Ditmas Park B'klyn Foody Hotspot

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:37:00 GMT

I just want to give a shout-out to my hometown neighborhood, Ditmas Park, as being the next Brooklyn eatery hot-spot.

I would especially recommend The Farm's sunday brunch menu. Their morning blood mary helps you handle the hair of the dog that bit you.

YIDDISH ADS ON SCHOOL BUSES

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:51:00 GMT

Two cash-starved schools in the Borough Park area have allowed a religious textbook publisher to turn their yellow buses into mobile billboards.

The banner, which appears on the sides of nine buses, shows a smiling boy holding a religious book called a Chumash. The Yiddish caption, referring to the publisher, reads: "Everyone goes to school with Oz V'Hadar."

Chumash is another name for the Torah - a bedrock of Judaism and one of the first texts taught at a yeshiva. The ad hawks an updated and illustrated edition.

The Borough Park schools - Chasan Sofer and Yeshiva Yagdil Torah - are private with about 400 students each. More yeshivas may follow suit.
