Real estate brokers from Brooklyn and beyond will gather on a spectacular rooftop location on Wednesday, July 20th from 5:30 to 7 p.m. for the “Arias Park Slope Amenity Showcase,” a twilight event which will highlight the world-class recreational amenities at Brooklyn’s most desirable luxury rental building.

Hosted in partnership by the community’s developer, The Iconic Group, and its exclusive leasing and marketing firm, The Marketing Directors, Inc., the event will be held in the impressive “Arias Club 360°,” the recently-completed rooftop featuring private cabanas and sun beds overlooking a lush landscaped lawn, a soothing water feature, a massive fire pit with seating, a grill, bar and dining area. Guests will mingle and enjoy cocktails and passed hors d’eourves while absorbing the building’s 360° panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline, Verrazano Bridge and Prospect Park. They can also view the Arias Courtyard which offers a putting green and seating area and the Arias Terrace which features an outdoor garden and seating area.

When not marveling at the outdoor amenities and picturesque vistas, guests can tour the equally-impressive indoor amenities including a state-of-the-art fitness center and Yoga room and a resident’s lounge featuring a catering kitchen & bar, billiards, plasma TV and a fireplace.

In order to provide a well-rounded look at the exceptional lifestyle offered by Arias Park Slope, guests will also have the option to preview the professionally decorated model home. A few lucky guests will win raffle prizes.

“This is the perfect opportunity for area professionals to experience first-hand what separates Arias Park Slope from other buildings in the marketplace,” says Shloimy Reichman, a principal with The Iconic Group, the development team behind the Ismael Leyva-designed 12-story building.

“Today’s renters demand a more resort-like lifestyle than what is commonly found in rental buildings, and Arias Park Slope delivers with a comprehensive lifestyle experience that extends well beyond the home and finishes.”

More than 60% of Arias Park Slope’s 95 residences have been leased in just the first three months. The first residents have already moved into their luxurious new residences, enjoying all that the building has to offer.

Located at 150 Fourth Avenue in Park Slope, Arias features a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom luxury residences — most with balconies and terraces. Monthly rents currently range from $2,800’s for one-bedroom homes and $3,800’s for two-bedroom residences.

Originally conceived as a condominium, the new building is notable for its multi-toned brick façade which has been inspired by neighboring brownstones and is punctuated by expansive windows, floating glass balconies, and a four-story glass curtain wall that optimizes natural light and captivating views of Prospect Park and the Manhattan skyline.

“Found throughout the homes are high ceilings, solid white oak flooring and chef-inspired kitchens with polished white stone countertops, custom European design white oak cabinetry, breakfast bar and fully-equipped stainless steel appliances,” notes Jacqueline Urgo, President of The Marketing Directors, Inc. “Bathrooms are equally impressive, offering marble vanity tops, polished chrome fixtures and deluxe soaking tubs. Most homes also have private terraces or balconies for desirable outdoor space.”

Arias Park Slope Welcomes First Residents

Initial Renters at Ismael Leyva-Designed Building Have Moved Into Luxurious New Homes

With leasing moving at a fever pitch, Arias Park Slope is enjoying a busy summer highlighted by one of the most important milestones in its development program.

The first residents at the Ismael Leyva-designed 12-story building have moved into their luxurious new residences and begun their exciting upscale urban lifestyle at the collection of 95 rental homes in this historic Brooklyn neighborhood, according to developer The Iconic Group.

“The arrival of our first residents is significant for several reasons,” says Shloimy Reichman, a principal with The Iconic Group, the building’s developer. “It signifies Arias Park Slope has made the transition from a development site to an active, bustling and lived-in community. And with enthusiastic residents filling the building, prospective renters can experience the incredible lifestyle that separates Arias Park Slope from the competition.”

One of the first residents of Arias Park Slope were James and Elsa Morgan who relocated to the building when they needed more space with their first child on the way. The Morgans, who were living in another Brooklyn rental property, chose Arias Park Slope over several other new construction apartment complexes throughout the Borough because the building met all their criteria for a new home.

“With a baby months away, we don’t imagine we’ll be able to get away much in the near future so the fact there are three outdoor spaces and amenities such as a gym, residents lounge and additional public spaces was key,” Mr. Morgan indicates. “Inside the homes, we knew the washer/dryer in each apartment would provide added convenience and the fact the building was originally conceived as a for-sale condominium provided higher quality finishes, better sound proofing and more.

“When we heard they’d be a smoke-free building, something we’d be willing to pay a premium for, we were confident in our decision.”

Arias Park Slope is in the midst of one of the most successful leasing programs in today’s market with more than 60% of the residences in the building leased in just the first three months.

Located at 150 Fourth Avenue in Park Slope, Arias features a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom luxury residences — most with balconies and terraces. Monthly rents currently range from $2,800’s for one-bedroom homes and $3,800’s for two-bedroom residences.

Originally conceived as a condominium, the new building is notable for its multi-toned brick façade which has been inspired by neighboring brownstones and is punctuated by expansive windows, floating glass balconies, and a four-story glass curtain wall that optimizes natural light and captivating views of Prospect Park and the Manhattan skyline.

Residents will enjoy a 24-hour attended lobby, a state-of-the-art fitness center and Yoga room, and a resident’s lounge featuring a catering kitchen & bar, billiards, plasma TV and a fireplace. Considerable outdoor space is provided by both the Arias Courtyard which offers a putting green and seating area and the Arias Terrace which features an outdoor garden and seating area.

In addition, the Arias Club 360 boasts 360° rooftop views of Brooklyn and the Manhattan Skyline, lush landscaping with over 600 feet of grass, a soothing water feature, a massive fire pit with seating, a grill, bar & dining area, private cabanas, sunbeds and an outdoor shower.

Even more amenities include a pet spa, cold & dry grocery storage, available onsite automated parking, storage units, and complimentary bicycle racks.

Brokers Weekly: Sometimes, the Bad Turns Good

When The Iconic Group first envisioned Arias, it was to be a luxury condominium, certain to succeed in the historic Park Slope section of Brooklyn as the housing market sizzled and the neighborhood couldn’t keep up with demand for snazy new homes. But then came the. crash and this sleek new building meticulously designed by Ismael Leyva — whose head-turning creations include Yves Chelsea, Place 57 and The Residences at One Central Park at Time Warner — was facing failure in the face. Then, it was decided to go rental.

And as they say, sometimes, bad things turn out good. Within three weeks of launching in April, a third of the units were leased. As of last Thursday, half the units were gone.

“As Arias was changed to a rental building from its original concept as a condominium, we wanted to ensure absorption early on, and demonstrating the unique amenities and features of the building to the, public was vital,” said Shloimy Reichman, a principal with The Iconic Group.

“Jacqueline Urgo, President of The Marketing Directors, and her talented staff of professionals have done an excellent job executing the program which is achieving results well ahead of original projections. Our relationship with The Marketing Direc¬tors is paying big dividends.”

At 12 stories, the 95 unit building at 150 Fourth Avenue is designed with a nod to classic Park Slope architecture, with a brick facade and glass curtain wall that blend into the neighborhood.

Leyva and the Iconic Group spared no expense on style, amenities and features. The two-story lobby has a modern feel, with high angular walls contrasting the highly stylized furniture. A warm color theme and pristine decor keep the contrasting shapes in harmony, for a welcoming effect.

It is staffed with a 24-hour doorman to at¬tend to residents around the clock. “There is a Zen-like inspiration, with earth tones, soft colors, and windowed corridors — it feels like a boutique hotel,” said Jacquline Urgo, president of the Marketing Directors, the building exclusive agent.

The homes keep with the modern trend, with white oak floors and high ceilings set¬ting a serene mood. There are floating glass balconies, oversized tilt and turn windows, Bosch washers and dryers, a video intercom system, and private patios.

The kitchens have modern, stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and oven. Polished white stone countertops and white oak cabinetry deck out both the kitchen and bathroom.

Beige stone lines the master bath’s walls, with porcelain floors, marble vanity, and polished chrome features. The thermostati¬cally controlled shower is a luxury in itself, with an oversized rain ceiling showerhead, deluxe soaking tub and radiant heat floors.

Outside the homes, Arias provides plenty of outdoors space for residents as part of a large amenity package.

The roof deck features the Arias Club 360, a terrace with a view of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines. Equipped with a fire pit, surround seating, private cabanas, outdoor shower, water feature, 600 s/f lawn, grills, and a bar, the Arias Club 360 is reminiscent of a luxury resort. In addition, the Arias Courtyard provides a putting green and outdoor garden for ample relaxation space. Arias also has a fitness center and yoga center, as well as a lounge where residents can play billiards, access a catering kitchen and bar, or watch movies from a plasma television by a fireplace. Relaxation aside, a pet spa cold and dry grocery storage, bike racks, and storage units are also avail-able for residents.

Urgo said one of the building’s greatest assets is the neighborhood. “Park Slope has been a destination for years,” she said. “It’s historic, convenient, and minutes away from transportation.

People love the restaurants, bohemian feel, culture, and dining. There are tons of places to go, from the Botanical gardens, Brooklyn museum, Prospect Park, Brooklyn Public Library, to Fifth Avenue.”

But perhaps its biggest asset of all is its accessability today to renters unable, or un¬willing to buy in today’s unsettled economy. Monthly rents start at $2,100 for studios, $2,600 for one-bedrooms and $3,600 for two-bedrooms.

“Ismael Leyva has designed some very prominent buildings,” said Urgo. “When we went rental, people really benefited from that level of design.”

From DUMBO to Midtown, sleek buildings are ready for their share of the spotlight

By KATHERINE DYKSTRA
New York Post

What a difference a year makes.

This time last year, there were only a handful of new developments entering the market. And many of these weren’t even new — they simply branded themselves as new in an effort to generate attention after lackluster interest during a down economy.

In 2011 though, the market is awash in new development — a sign that the re-emergence of the New York City real estate market is in fact upon us.

No, it’s not like the wild days of 2007, when dozens of new-construction buildings dotted much of the city. But the housing stock hitting the market now is diverse and wide-reaching, in the same way that the city itself is. There’s the conversion of an 1850s-era landmarked church in Cobble Hill into about two dozen unique condos.

There’s the new Midtown skyline-changing, 600-plus-unit rental and condo, as glassy as the day is long, and bursting with amenities. There’s even one developer who’s been so smart about his investments that he doesn’t have just one new building coming to market at this moment in time — he has four, with two more in the works.

Here’s a look at the most notable new kids on the block:

Arias
Once again, the developers’ loss is the renters’ gain. Arias at 150 Fourth Ave. was originally conceived of as a condo project and has condo finishes. But now that the Gowanus building is being marketed as “Park Slope’s newest, most impressive rental community,” those finishes are going to renters.

Interiors feature solid white oak flooring, and kitchens have polished white stone counters and stainless-steel appliances. Bathrooms boast marble vanity tops, polished chrome fixtures and soaking tubs. Building amenities include a landscaped roof with cabanas, sun beds, a fire pit, a grill, a bar and Manhattan skyline views. In addition, renters get a 24-hour attended lobby, a gym with a yoga room and a lounge with a catering kitchen and bar, billiards, a plasma TV and a fireplace.

The 12-story building has 95 apartments. Prices start in the $1,800s for studios, $2,200s for one-bedrooms and $3,200s for two-bedrooms.

The Marketing Directors Lands Four New Buildings in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island

New Assignments Include Condos in FIDI, Rentals in Park Slope and Condos on SI Waterfront

With a 30-year track record of success and such current notable sales achievements as The Sheffield and Linden 78 on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, The Marketing Directors, Inc. has been brought on to oversee the marketing, sales and leasing of four new residential buildings throughout New York City.

The new assignments include 67 Liberty Street, 14 full-floor homes designed by Jack Levy Design in Manhattan’s Financial District; Arias, a new 12-story, 95-home rental building in Brooklyn’s Park Slope; and 130 Bay Street Landing and 155 Bay Street, two new condominium buildings offering a total of 158 residences overlooking Staten Island’s St. George waterfront.

“These are four very distinct properties that will all come to market in 2011, starting with the late-March opening of Arias, an Ismael Leyva building that was originally conceived as a condominium but will open as luxury rental in a great Park Slope location,” notes Jacqueline Urgo, President of The Marketing Directors, Inc., which has been serving many of the industry’s most prominent developers across the United States and Canada since 1980.

“67 Liberty Street represents a new-construction opportunity in FiDi, while the two condominium buildings in Staten Island will offer a living experience rich in amenities and services that doesn’t currently exist in the Staten Island marketplace. We’re looking forward to implementing our tried-and-true formula of marketing, sales and leasing to these properties which we’ve perfected from 30 years of focusing solely on new-construction real estate.”
