Michael Diamond, also known as Beastie Boy Mike D, recently worked with architects John and Jill Bouratoglou to design his own townhouse. Now, he’s expanded to designing someone else’s — a 4,150 square foot single-family home on 242 Pacific Street in Boerum Hill, which will cost $4.98 million. The real estate listing emphasizes the luxury of the spot: […]
A new Supertall* skyscraper is being planned for Lower Manhattan. The slender glass castle will feature ten full-floor 5,300 square foot penthouses, topped with a 10,600 square foor duplex in the tower.

On the stretch of Graham Avenue between Maujer and Stagg Streets, blocks from the Montrose L Train station, there’s a line of empty storefronts. In a neighborhood as white-hot as Williamsburg, they’re an unusual sight — because they’ve sat unoccupied for at least a year, but also because of their owner: the New York City […]
Being able to afford owning a home in New York City takes a yearly salary of about $90,000, according to a new report. Compare that to Cleveland, where prospective homeowners need only make $29,788.67, or beautiful Pittsburg, which requires $30,177.78. NYC didn’t even top the list. That honor goes to (surprise!) San Francisco, where affordably […]
