  • This month’s Luxury Report from Prudential Douglas Elliman’s
    Leonard Steinberg finds that inventories are up, but most real estate
    is just generic properties. “There is limited supply of QUALITY,
    luxury apartments in strong locations downtown.” Moreover, you can’t
    even move into them because some haven’t been constructed yet. There
    are 111 available units between $5 million and $ 10 million, and soon
    co-ops will be a rarity in Downtown real estate.
