This Joint is Jumping

Now this has been a busy week. Not that they all aren't. Just launched the new campaign for the 5th Annual Moonlight Cruise which takes place in NYC on August 3rd. The tickets have been selling fast so my client is happy. This annual event is for the 30plus crowd that caterers to the Gay & Lesbian market. It always turns into one hot evening on the Hudson. This year we have gathered a great group of affiliates to support the event as well as exceptional talent. If you are looking for a great time, book you tickets now before it sells out.

On the real estate front I have also been busy showing a variety of apartments ranging from 3.2 million to rentals for $4,500 a month. Everytime I hear on the news that the real estate market is falling I feel like calling the TV and newspapers and saying, not in Manhattan it isn't. Prices are now steady but you have to be doing pretty well to live here now.

There is a new project being launched this week in Harlem by a community cooperative development. I am so proud of them. If you are looking to buy soon in Harlem, now is the time. The project is called Graceline Court which will be located at 106 W. 116th Street in NYC. Many of the units will feature Central Park and Midtown views, floor to ceiling windows, hardwood floors, stylish bathrooms, open kitchens and so much more. Currently prices range from $375,000 up to $1,125,000. Now, here is the thing to remember before you click to see this property. If you want to view this or any other property, please email me and I will make the appointment for you okay? Okay? Thanks. Okay here is the link. Now if you are concerned about financing for this or any other project I suggest you talk to a mortgage broker now and see where you stand. The way rents are rising it is a great idea to discuss with a professional what your options are. My good friend August Caponi and help explain everything to you and pre-qualify you for a loan. His company is PM Bankers who have been doing creative mortgages for a long time. Give him a shout out for more information. Promise, it won't hurt ya.

My friend/client Robert Jason Jackson is in DC is playing Polonius in Hamlet at The Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, DC. He is jetting between DC and NYC since he is directing the staged reading of "Can I Be Me" for British Writer/Journalist Esther Armah at the Museum of the City of New York on Thursday June 14th. Can I Be Me? is a play written by international journalist Esther Armah and performed by Collette Porteous. It is a story of one woman’s journey to understand the conflict she feels about being African and British. Presented as part of the Museum’s ongoing collaboration with the Harlem-based New Heritage Theatre Group and their Roger Furman Reading Series.

Until next time, stay strong my people.
