535 West 43rd, CetraRuddy’s new rental development is finally open and ready to welcome residents. The two 14-story towers housed a grand opening soiree last Thursday to celebrate. Ranging from studio layouts to two-bedrooms, this building contains 180 apartments. Net-effective rents start at $3,000/month for studios, $4,080 for one-bedrooms, and $6,785 for two-bedrooms.

The cherished Financial District building was originally designed by renowned architect Ralph Walker, and RAMSA may soon add a modest penthouse annex in addition to interior updates.

It’s been almost a year since we reported on the Pierre Hotel’s 39th floor apartment, that, at $500,000 per month, clocks in as New York’s priciest rental. Turns out, it’s also the second most expensive rental in the entire country. 2 East 61st Street is a 4,786 sq ft six-bedroom apartment that spans the entire 39th floor of the Pierre Hotel, which recently underwent $100 million in renovations.

It’s no secret that we love Manhattan—it’s in our name. But as you may have guessed, we really like Brooklyn too! While neighborhoods like Dumbo, Williamsburg and Greenpoint have gained a lot of popularity over the past years as hip hotspots, the criminally underrated Downtown Brooklyn has a lot of offer.

This week, former governor Eliot Spitzer announced plans to move forward with his large-scale project for South Williamsburg, three 24-story towers at 420-430 Kent Avenue on the East River waterfront. Kent Avenue has gained notoriety for into its Gold Coast for all the ultra-modern, futuristic development that’s been taking shape on the rezoned land; and Mr. Spitzer’s project will further foster this reputation.

Narrow down your selection of Luxury Rental Apartments with these unique buildings that feature a twin-tower design, because even buildings want a little company. We’re sure there’s a statistic about it somewhere.
