Description
�In Manhattan more than anywhere in the world, people buy what reflects them,� said Darren Sukenik, a managing director of luxury sales at Prudential Douglas Elliman. Most critical for buyers are the apartment itself and the three blocks around it, he said, adding, �You really have to wear it like a loose garment, and it has to suit you.�
Style aside, Mr. Sukenik said, there are practical considerations. Most prewar apartments in Manhattan tend to be co-ops, requiring larger down payments and co-op board approval. If buyers set on prewars can�t qualify for a co-op, Mr. Sukenik might steer them toward exceptions like the row of condominium buildings on West 12th Street that was developed by Bing & Bing in the late 1920s.
