Real Estate Remix 

It looks like One World Trade is getting some height competition from—of all places—Oklahoma. Last week, the Oklahoma City Council gave the green light to construct a 2,000-foot tower that will dethrone OWT (which stands at 1,776 feet) as the country’s tallest building. The world’s tallest tower currently stands in Dubai and clocks in at 2,717 feet. The Oklahoma building, named Legends Tower, will house one hotel and 1,000 luxury apartments. It will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere (it might be five-plus years before this building becomes a reality). I love being up high with a killer view and enjoy living at neighborhood level (we all know how I feel about my beloved Brooklyn brownstones). So, it begs the question, would you live in a building taller than One World Trade?

 

NYC Insider: What’s Happening This Week 

Summer in the city is kicking into high gear, and there are an unlimited number of outdoor events to prove it. Naturally, catching some live music is one of my favorite things to do when the weather gets warmer. The NY Philharmonic’s park performances across the city are always a fun time. Grab some friends, bring a blanket & some snacks, choose your park, and don’t forget to stay for the post-show fireworks. They’re performing tonight in Central Park and this weekend in Brooklyn. Find out more here! 

 

Weekly Gem 💎

You Don’t Get What You Deserve, You Get What You Negotiate! 

How often do you get upset because you didn’t get what you felt you deserved? I recently experienced this and had to check myself because I was too eager to collaborate and didn’t stop to value my involvement correctly. It’s time we stop thinking, “I deserve more.” If that’s how you feel, then be clear about that upfront. Someone else’s starting point doesn’t have to be your ending point. Don’t be offended or let your emotions get the best of you. When negotiating—whether in a relationship or at your job—it’s our responsibility to know our worth and negotiate accordingly. 

 

3-Bed Park Slope Condo Perched Above the Treetops 

Listed by Amanda Nelson and myself

I’m proud to help my longtime friend and colleague, Amanda Nelson, relaunch this rockstar unit in Park Slope: 251 1st St, Unit 7F, a 3-bed, 3-bath! 1,560 SF condo listed for $2.595M. Picture this: you awaken to easy sunlight streaming into your bedroom, and just like that, you’re outside on your private terrace, basking in the sun, with unobstructed views of South Brooklyn and a slice of the city. Grab your cup of coffee and let the day begin! Here are my favorite things about this home: 

• A killer floor plan—this open-concept home has an incredible flow with spacious rooms, a split bedroom layout, and no narrow hallways.  
• Chef’s grade kitchen with integrated Gaggenau appliances, Marvel wine fridge, and an oversized kitchen island with seating for four—with 9’4 floor-to-ceiling windows as your backdrop. 
• 380 SF private terrace; elevate your morning coffee routine, lazy weekend afternoons, and outdoor dinner parties. 
• Located inside a luxury building with a roof deck, fully equipped gym, landscaped courtyard, and more. 
• Who wants a tour?
