We just can’t get enough of The Langston around here! Although it seems that some of the early buyers are a little unhappy with the way business was conducted, the retail end of the building is going to be generating buzz for quite a while.
The NY Times has caught wind of the development…I wonder if it has anything to do with the major anchors that have attached their names to the project?

Just a warning to my future Langston neighbors – even the closing may mean move-in is still a couple of months away. I am buying in The Sutton (practically next door to The Langston and another NYHDC middle-income building, though it gets 1% of the press that the Langston does) and they want to hold “pre-closings” where you sign the mortgage and commit while the city applies for the building subsidies … it’s a long process, you have to be ready for it!

South Harlem gets most of the praise now as far as neighborhoods in harlem. Do you think this area is the next upcoming area of harlem?

Ah, now I get it, Hugo. Occupancy has been delayed. I didn’t disbelieve that a number of units had been sold, but the building always looks so empty. Now I know why.
Anyway, I’m sorry you all have had to wait so long. Not only is it probably stressful for you, it would be better for the neighborhood overall if they’d open the doors.
Here’s hoping you’ll all be settled in soon!

180 units built, 30 units available = 150 purchase? Occupied? What? Anybody have an estimate of how many buyers have moved in to date?
At any rate, they’ll be getting a lot of company from me. I’m gonna use the heck outta that NYSC.

A lot of people have bought or are in contract accounting for the 150. All the Tier II (moderate income units) are sold. The ones left are the market rate apts.
Thing is no one has been allowed to move in for over a year. Construction took longer or something like that. A lot of people who bought and went through all the paper work last year are pissed off because they can’t move in or back out of the deal(that is, without losing they’re deposit).If I remember correctly the fine-print legally gives the langston up to october to allow people in or they get their deposit back. So I suppose October is the hard deadline.
