Murray Street and its surrounding blocks have been getting a ton of press lately as Manhattanites continue to populate every inch of every neighborhood, especially those in the most sought-after neighborhood – TriBeCa. I just listed a high-end rental at 6 Murray Street, a boutique rental building consisting of five full floor lofts plus a duplex penthouse. The building is keeping up with the changing trends of the neighborhood and I have just worked with the landlord to complete the first of many renovations in the building. The 4^th floor loft has been entirely turned over and is now a shiny, new residence ready for its first tenant. Next up – the lobby, elevator and entrance to the building. If you are in the area, stop by and take a peek at the progress!
