Triplex Penthouse Condo in Manhattan New York
In short, a triplex penthouse condominium is simply a three level condominium apartment.

A triplex penthouse condominium is going to share many of the same characteristics of a duplex condominium, but with the addition of a third floor.

Triplex penthouse condominiums in New York City are typically configured in a couple of different ways. Often the third floor or upper most floor is that of a roof top terrace with adjoining entertainment or outdoor spaces. The living space will be focused on the lower two levels.

Or you might found all three floors have a combination of living, entertaining and outdoor living spaces. A triplex condominium penthouse will offer an unparalleled and one of the kind quality of living as you will be living in a multi-level property with endless layout combinations. A triplex penthouse condominium will usually be quite expansive, if you are looking for an apartment with multiple rooms(4 or more) a triplex might be a good option. Outdoor space is often found on multiple levels depending on the building, your very own rooftop terrace usually accompanies a triplex penthouse condominium.
Many of the characteristics of a duplex penthouse condominium will be shared in a triplex penthouse condominium including each floor of the apartment having a designated purpose. The residential quarters will typically have their own floor and the living room, dining room, library and kitchen will be on separate floor.
We often see that people looking at a townhouse will often look at a triplex apartment as it provides a similar way of living. The difference being that within a condominium building you will have all of the comforts and support of the building’s full time staff. A triplex also provides an added level of privacy as you are typically the only residence on your floor.

A triplex penthouse condominium reflects the best in what a New York City luxury apartment can offer. Your very own home on top of it all, private outdoor spaces, multiple levels of living creating various combinations of living and entertaining, can all be yours in a triplex penthouse condominium for sale in New York City.

Pricing and availability for a triplex condominium will vary considerably depending on the location in Manhattan that you prefer. A triplex penthouse condominium is a unique type of apartment with a limited amount of inventory. Expect pricing to start around $2,500,000 for an entry level triplex in a smaller building and can easily reach above $5,000 sq/ft-$10,000,000 sq/ft for the most impressive apartments.

Overall Thoughts for 2011 Sales at Georgetown Plaza at 60 East 8th Street

Morgan Evans-New York City Real Estate Expert

Market Report for 60 East 8th Street, Georgetown Plaza.

Overall Thoughts for 2011 Sales at Georgetown Plaza at 60 East 8th Street:

Georgetown Plaza is one of the only cond-op buildings in the Greenwich Village/ Union Square neighborhood. Because it is investor friendly and has flexible purchase policies, it has become one of the more desirable buildings. Apartments when priced within the most recent comparable sales, typically sell quickly and at strong prices.

The roof top deck and views are always a major attribute to the building. Renovated apartments are selling the quickest and at the highest prices, as most buyers do not want to go through a lengthy renovation process. Because of the close vicinity to NYU (New York University), there is always a consistent demand for rentals, making apartments in the building equally attractive for an investor looking to rent out the apartment. A very low supply of apartments is expected and we continue to see most apartments go into contract quickly when coming available.

Most apartments sold close to their asking prices, something that we expect to see in 2012. Georgetown Plaza is one of the most well established buildings in the Greenwich Village neighborhood and we continue to see strong demand in the foreseeable future.

We hope you have found our market report valuable and informative.


In this consumer savvy and an immediate need for information days and age, it is most beneficial to work with a real estate agent who knows the market and understands the subtle differences that can make a big difference. If you are interested in condops for Sale atGeorgetown Plaza or in the Greenwich Village neighborhood call us directly at (917)837-8869 or email us at http://manhattannycondosforsale.com/contact/

We look forward to speaking with you.

We are New York city Condo specialists, we are full time Real Estate agents that specialize in Manhattan Condominium market. We work with many out of state investors and buyers that would like to acquire a Manhattan New York condo as part of their investment portfolio.

We often have a check list of basic steps to educate the buyers as to how to get started. Here is a good check list:

  • If you plan on financing, please consult with a reputable lender or mortgage consultant to see how much can you finance in today’s market. In today’s market, lending guidelines are changing by the day, it is in your best interest to see what will it take to qualify for a loan.
  • Do speak to your banker if you have money in bonds and money market. Find out how many days will it take to liquidate your funds so you know once we have a verbally accepted offer. Often in Manhattan New York market place, the seller seeks 10% of the sales price as down payment at the time of signing contract. With that being said, if you are buying $1M Manhattan condo, you will need $100,000. at contract signing.
  • Do your homework on finding an Real Estate agent to work with. What is it that you are looking to buy? You want to find an agent that is familiar with the product that you are interest in buying. We are very well versed in Manhattan New York market, we have sold many Manhattan New York condos to first time home buyer, first time investors, foreign internationals, parents buying for children and many serious and motivated buyers. A Condo or Co-Op? Uptown or Downtown? Do you speak specific language that you preferred the agent speaks your mother tongue? Do you need an agent that work specifically with foreigners? Go on a search engine such as Google, try type in what you are looking for, and see if any agent shows up on the search result.
  • Do Have a reasonable budget of what you are looking for.

(the price will also depend on the condo unit exposure/view, floor height, renovation and overall condition. In addition, the building amenities, such as fitness center, residents lounge, roof deck, basketball court, swimming pools will also add onto the sales price of the condo)
  • Do speak to an accountant to see if you need to structure the purchase in a specific way to enjoy the tax deductible benefits of buying a Manhattan Real Estate. If you are a first time home buyer, is it beneficial to co-purchase the condo unit with your parents or alone; If you are an foreigner, is it better to buy it under your own name or start an LLC?; If you are an out of town investor, is this purchase going to be an investment property or?
  • Do have a Manhattan New York Real Estate attorney ready.
