Margaret, a resident and investor of Battery Park City (BPC) for over 20 years, serves as the President and Founder of Battery Park Realty (BPR), specializing in downtown Manhattan real estate sales and rentals. Under Margaret's leadership, BPR has achieved remarkable success, having sold over 100 units in three new green buildings: Millennium Tower, Visionaire, River House, and Rector Park. Their impressive sales record establishes BPR as the leading brokerage firm in BPC, surpassing all others in terms of unit sales in New York. Margaret and the BPR team have extensive experience in completing resales and rentals in the area, cementing their status as a trusted and knowledgeable resource for clients. Their deep understanding of the BPC market is unparalleled, allowing them to provide invaluable insights and perspectives on real estate in New York City. Having witnessed the growth and development of BPC over the past two decades, Margaret has seen residential condominium prices triple in the area. Notably, the period following the events of September 11, 2001, witnessed a significant surge in population and sales prices. The subsequent Wall Street crisis and recession in 2008 marked another market downturn. Presently, BPC is home to approximately 60,000 individuals, with projections indicating that over 200,000 people will be working in the new World Trade Center towers, alongside a resident population of over half a million. Additionally, the presence of three exceptional public schools enhances BPC's appeal, making it highly sought-after for families. Margaret recognizes the undeniable value of the downtown waterfront, which offers spectacular harbor views and stands as one of the most desirable places to live and work. BPC's overall quality of life provides a serene retreat amidst the bustling atmosphere of the city. In recent years, rental prices in the area have experienced a notable increase of 10-20%, while the stock market has reached its highest levels since 2008. Market projections indicate that real estate prices in New York City as a whole will continue to rise throughout the upcoming summer. With few new residential developments underway, Margaret advises interested buyers to seize attractive investment opportunities before the summer arrives. As a resident-focused agency, BPR benefits from the fact that a majority of its team members live in downtown Manhattan. This strong connection to the community drives their commitment to delivering outstanding sales and rental results for their clients, as well as providing exemplary property management services.
