We keep hearing about this
bonanza of cheap rents the New Depression is supposed to bring. Here's
Real Estate Bisnow reporting that "Tenants are now catching a break in New York... Expect more space, cheaper rents and greater concessions." They advise brokers to "expand your platform with integrated services" -- maybe they'll start bringing us fruit baskets. Tenants are advised to "negotiate harder." You can practice on
this realtor, offering an East Village 1BR for $3000 (its integrated services include an onsite laundry room), or
this one, with a "perfect live/work space" in Greenpoint, convenient to all
industrial seepage. Happy bargain hunting!
