About the Unit:

Experience luxury living in this premium, high-floor, corner unit at Tower 28. This exclusive 1-bedroom apartment, complete with an additional office space, offers breathtaking views and exceptional amenities that make it a rare find in New York City.

- Floor: Between 37th and 45th Floor (will disclose exact unit to subleasers interested)
- far from subway noise
- Orientation: Southeast-facing with additional western skyline views
- Configuration: 1 Bedroom + Office Space
- In-Unit Laundry: Launder at your convenience
- Rent-Stabilized: Offers future rent stability

Why This Lease is Highly Sought-After:
- Securing this unit was extremely difficult due to its highly competitive nature and unique benefits. Here’s what it took to secure this lease:
- Exclusive Broker Network: Accessed an underground broker network that operates entirely in Mandarin where leases are privately circulated.
- Dedicated Broker Service: Engaged a specialized broker ($600 fee) who tracked Tower 28 listings daily for availability.
- Persistence and Timing: Even with insider access, the broker took six months to find this lease. It was released at 1:00 a.m., and we secured it at 1:05 a.m.
- Broker Fee: Total broker fee was $4,479.16 but there would be no fee to sublease/takeover the lease

Amenities Included:
Unparalleled access to Tower 28’s top-tier amenities:
- Recreation and Relaxation: Pool, sauna, steam room, gym, and roof deck
- Community Spaces: Multiple resident lounges for socializing and remote work

Flexible Lease Structure:
The lease is structured to provide you with flexibility and future options:
1. First Year - Sublease:
- The lease is from 12/02/2024-12/01/2025. You will initially sublease the unit under my current lease. This approach allows you to enjoy the apartment without an immediate commitment to a new lease.
2. Transition to Your Own Lease (After Year One):
- After the first year (12/1/2025), you’ll have the option to sign an official lease in your name.
- Note on Rent Stabilization: Since a new lease will be created in your name, it’s possible that rent could increase, and rent stabilization may not apply. However, you may be able to negotiate directly with management to maintain a similar rate.
3. Continued Sublease Option:
- If the rent increase is significant, an option may be available for you to continue subleasing under the current rent-stabilized terms for an extended period.

We are planning on moving out sometime between 1/08-1/10. The subleaser can move in immediately afterwards. The place should be clean and in good condition.
Summary of Benefits:
- Luxury Living: High-floor, quiet, and with sweeping city views
- Incredible Amenities: Enjoy high-end facilities
- Flexibility: Sublease initially, then transition to an official lease

This lease takeover offers a rare opportunity to live in one of NYC’s most desirable buildings with a high level of flexibility and stability. The combination of this competitive, premium apartment and its extensive amenities makes it a truly unique opportunity.

About This Lister

Hi there! I'm Lloyd, a professional who recently secured an incredible job opportunity in California that I couldn’t pass up. While my partner and I have only lived in this stunning Tower 28 apartment for a short time, we’ve absolutely fallen in love with its breathtaking views, modern amenities, and unbeatable convenience.

As the current tenant, I’m handling the sublease and lease takeover process and am here to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible for you. I use he/him pronouns and will be living onsite until early January, so I’m available to show the apartment and answer any questions.

This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a premium living experience, and I’m excited to help someone else enjoy this fantastic space. Feel free to reach out to learn more or schedule a tour!
