Tribeca Tower

If you are willing to take your chances of being kicked out of your apartment because they need to "renovate" it (you thought everything was fine), and the only alternatives that the management would offer you are a far worse apartment, or a 20% increase in rent (to $5K off of $4K for one bdr), then 105 Duane is the address for you.

If you are willing to take your chances of being kicked out of your apartment because they need to "renovate" it (you thought everything was fine), and the only alternatives that the management would offer you are a far worse apartment, or a 20% increase in rent (to $5K off of $4K for one bdr), then 105 Duane is the address for you. I have never heard of responsible, easy, on hustle/on time payments, etc tenants of a major building getting literally kicked out of their home, until it happened to me, thanks to the Related management. Their defense? - "You are paying below market rate and we are not a rent-controlled building." Nice. So if anyone decides to reside at Tribeca Tower, I suggest looking at the rent-controlled apartments first - there are plenty of those in the area, cheaper and much nicer than a 20 year old building, with way outdated design, smelly floors, and bedbugs detected on several floors. I found one, and am very happy I am moving to it and don't have to deal with Related ever again. [less]
