Long Island may possibly be the toughest market in the country for apartment development, though there is a lot of opportunity for building there, residential real estate experts told the Wall Street Journal. The housing stock is largely single-family homes, with apartment buildings representing just 17 percent of the inventory, compared with 35 percent in Bergen County, and 38 percent in Westchester County. AvalonBay, the only public developer building apartments in Long Island, charges thousands of dollars a month to renters of all ages, from college students to seniors looking to downsize from larger homes.

Citigroup has agreed to pay $75 million to settle federal claims that it failed to disclose vast holdings of subprime mortgage investments that crippled the bank during the financial crisis, two sources briefed on the deal told the New York Times. The Securities and Exchange Commission has also singled out two Citigroup executives -- Gary Crittenden, the former CFO, and Arthur Tildesley, the former head of investor relations -- for omitting material information in disclosures to shareholders, according to the sources. Crittenden has agreed to pay a $100,000 fine and Tildesley will pay $80,000. [more]

Bond Real Estate New York has signed an eight-year renewal and expansion at its Columbus Circle location at 1776 Broadway and West 57th Street, bringing the company's total square footage to 10,800 square feet, Crain’s reported. Bond principal Bruno Ricciotti told The Real Deal  in its May issue that the new space was 5,500 square feet. The 10-year-old firm, which currently occupies the entire 19th floor, will also take over the second floor of the 25-story, 110,000-square-foot building come September. [more]

The Upper East Side's Miraval Living condominium has launched a charity program tied to one of its most famous residents, Yankees player Curtis Granderson, according to a spokesperson for the 39-story condo conversion at 515 East 72nd Street near York Avenue. For every homerun the slugger hits, starting August 1, the building has pledged to donate $1,000 to the Curtis Granderson Grand Kid Foundation, the ballplayer's charitable group that promotes education and athletics for inner city kids.

Harlem's H&M will celebrate its reopening tomorrow morning, after five months of interior and exterior renovations, according to Racked. The grand reopening will be freebie-heavy, with complementary T-shirts for the first 200 shoppers and gift cards with values ranging from $10 to $300. The store, which sits on the corner of 125th Street and Lenox Avenue, now has an entirely new facade, which should defray some of the architectural criticism lodged at the retailer in the past.

A 13,000-square-foot house at 228 Surfside Drive in Bridgehampton -- one of the few spec houses built on the East End of Long Island in 2009 -- has gone into contract, according to Curbed. The almost-oceanfront home was originally listed for $15 million when it hit the market in June 2009, before climbing to $16 million by August 2009, and then dropping to its latest listing price of $13 million in April of this year. Although its not immediately clear how much the house went into contract for, the listing, which was marketed by Prudential Douglas Elliman, had been built on land purchased for $4.7 million in 2008.

The mortgage crisis and subsequent housing market turmoil has led some to ask whether homeownership should be synonymous with the "American Dream." In this CNBC video, Congressman Paul Kanjorski weighs in on whether owning a home should be the ideal for many families. "It doesn't fit all people, not all people are capable of homeownership at this time," Kanjorski said. "But in reality, we've always found over history [that] homeownership is probably the best equity builder that our system has had... we want to make sure we don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

In addition to getting a request from Deloitte for a $20 million subsidy package today, the city's Industrial Development Agency is slated to present a reworked subsidy package for Reuters, which was given up to $26 million in incentives from the Giuliani administration, the Observer reported. Reuters received the $26 million incentive package -- intended to promote job growth -- in 1998, but according to the city about $20 million remains unused. In 2008, Reuters merged with Thomson and now, with a larger workforce and more office buildings, Thomson Reuters wants to extend the subsidy to all its buildings, at least in part to help get a break on renovation costs, according to the Observer.

After weeks of retail and restaurant shuttering in Battery Park City's Embassy Suites Hotel at 102 North End Avenue, owner Goldman Sachs has announced its plan to "upgrade" the hotel, bringing in a luxury hotel operator, and to revitalize its presence in the neighborhood, according to the Broadsheet Daily. The hotel, which will shutter temporarily and reopen in the fourth quarter of 2011 as a Conrad New York, is also looking to attract some higher-end retail tenants to match its new brand name. [more]

The July 25 episode of HGTV’s “Design Star” series challenged two teams of contestants to each design a two-bedroom model apartments at the new Trump Plaza Residences in Jersey City, and incorporate and repurpose some New York City souvenirs into the finished product. Donald Trump Jr. was on hand as a guest judge, as The Real Deal reported last week. In an exclusive interview with The Real Deal, Trump described the building as being consistent with the Trump ideal of “luxury.” The 55-story, 443-unit building, at 88 Morgan Street between Washington and Green streets, is the tallest residential tower in Jersey City. Trump said he was impressed with elegant and soft look of one team’s design, incorporating souvenirs from Times Square and Broadway. The other team disappointed Trump, who said their design resembled a college dorm and that the implementation of the souvenirs was ineffective. At the end of the episode, two contestants were eliminated.

A Manhattan-based think tank has pitched a plan for the development of a mile of empty space under the Metro North tracks in Harlem from 111th to 133rd streets along Park Avenue, in an effort to grow the retail market in the neighborhood. The Center for an Urban Future has entitled the plan, which is targeting the development of small businesses and food retailers in particular, "A High Line for Harlem." [more]

Former CNN anchor Campbell Brown has apparently gone apartment-hunting in her newfound free time. Brown and her husband, Daniel Senor, are in contract to buy a three-bedroom apartment at 71 Murray Street in Tribeca, sources told The Real Deal. The 4,000-square-foot condo is listed for $4.495 million with Prudential Douglas Elliman’s Gilad Azaria, head of the Gilad Azaria Group. It went into contract this week, according to Streeteasy.com. Azaria declined to comment. Brown and Senor, the founder of Rosemont Capital and a Bush administration foreign policy adviser, have two young sons. Until last week, Brown anchored the eponymous nightly news show on CNN, which faced off against Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" and "Countdown" on MSNBC. Brown announced in May that she would step down due to disappointing ratings. [more]

Homeowners looking to refinance are increasingly putting down cash at the closing table in order to lower their principal balance and take out a new loan at a lower rate, according to data from Freddie Mac released yesterday. During the second quarter, 22 percent of homeowners who refinanced put down additional money to pay off some of their principal for the third-highest “cash-in” share of refinancing borrowers since Freddie Mac started tracking them in 1985. [more]

Accounting firm Deloitte -- one of the largest tenants on the market for office space in New York City -- has asked the city for at least $10.65 million in tax credits in exchange for staying on this side of the Hudson River and increasing its employee count, according to the Observer. The firm, which is currently headquartered at 1633 Broadway with offices at 25 Broadway and the World Financial Center, had been considering a move to New Jersey. If the city doesn’t grant tax exemptions Deloitte wants -- the total sum requested could rise up to $21 million -- the firm is threatening to follow through with that interstate move. [more]

The city’s Bed Bug Advisory Board has released its 39-page bedbug combat plan (see the full document after the jump) and the city has responded with $500,000 in funding to step up its insect-fighting efforts. The major points of the city’s plan include an informational campaign for city dwellers, including an educational online portal, and new staffers whose job it will be to help property owners who have infestations.

Located on the east side of Midtown to the south of Grand CentralTerminal at 42nd Street, this residential enclave is increasinglyattracting affluent young families. It's southern border is 34th streetand the bulk of the neighborhood lies between Madison Avenue and theEast River. The neighborhood derives its name from the Murray family,Quaker merchants who had made quite the name for themselves by the 18thcentury.

Robert Murray, patriarch of the Murray family, arrivedin New York in 1753. Originally from Pennsylvania, Robert Murray was amerchant mostly concerned with overseas trade. He would come to ownmore shipping tonnage than any other merchant in New York. Around 1762,Robert Murray built Inclenberg, the manor that would house his familyand oversee his farmland estate. Also known as Belmont, the estate wasmost popularly regarded as "Murray Hill," the name which the area stillholds today.

Another Murray, perhaps one of the most famous, isMary Lindley Murray. On the 15th of September, 1776, Mrs. Murray playeda key role in securing American independence from British Rule. GeorgeWashington's army was in retreat after the British Landing at Kips'Bay. Mrs. Murray stepped in and invited William Howe, leader of theBritish Army, and his offices to tea at Inclenberg. Through her charmand feminine wiles, she managed to delay the officers, and thus theadvance of the British Army, two hours. This gave the retreatingrevolutionary soldiers time to secure their escape. Four thousandAmerican soldiers, who would otherwise have been cut off and captured,were saved by Mrs. Murray, her tea, cakes and hospitality.

MurrayHill's central location makes it a comfortable walk to work for many.Its easy access to shops, restaurants and movie theaters, along withsurprisingly attractive price-per-square footage, means that many ofthe Hill's residents believe they’ve found the best housing deals intown…and they’re often correct!

Murray Hill’s filmic streets area mix of classic "New York" townhouses and modern high-rise buildings,with the magnificent Morgan Museum & Library (named after bankerPierpont Morgan), the new and fabulous W Hotel, and the Jazz Standardclub, home to local and international touring musicians (and alip-smacking BBQ rib menu from Danny Meyer’s Blue Smoke restaurant)also part of the scenery. Other spectacular landmarks include theScandinavian House and the former Beau Arts Building, now the ConsulateGeneral of Poland. The Consulate General of Mexico and the ConsulateGeneral of South Africa maintain presences there as well.

Theneighborhood also houses the Sumitomo Corporate offices and severalnotable restaurants, from the AQ Cafe (located inside theaforementioned Scandinavian House) to the elegant Korean Tea ShopFranchia, as well as hotspots like the Water club (known for itsseafood and views of the nearby river) and Hangawi. There are alsoseveral excellent Indian restaurants in the area, including Curry Leaf,leading to the area's sometime nickname "Curry Hill."

MurrayHill also boasts a number of prime nightlife spots. Ginger Man offersover 100 kinds of beer and a huge variety of whiskeys, and bars such asMorgan's and Wet Bar round out the neighborhood offerings. If visiting,the area has several unique hotels. Hotel Dylan boasts the popularAlchemy Room (a favorite bar in the area). The Kitano offers rooms inboth Western and Japanese style, while The Library Hotel's rooms areeach designed with a unique literary theme and an accompanying personallibrary of appropriate titles in each.

Murray Hill has no lessthan three of the world's leading medical centers, and is a proudneighbor to such iconic New York landmarks as the Empire State Buildingand Chrysler Building; the Hill is also (almost) home to some of thecity's foremost shopping: Macy's, Barton-Sharpe Limited and Lord &Taylor are within walking blocks…not to mention everything you couldever want to say "I Heart NY"!

Transportation to and from theneighborhood is available by taxi or MTA bus, and green line subwayservice (4, 5, and 6 lines) out of Grand Central Terminal.

Midtown is the main hub in NYC for business, shopping, entertainment and tourism. There is so much to find and so much to do you can’t help but come here at least once a week. What was once a rundown neighborhood has been cleaned up into a very presentable and lively residential district. Making up Midtown West is Hell’s Kitchen and Clinton. Both neighborhoods are an eclectic mix of people ranging from Yuppies to Central American Immigrants to the last of the remaining Westies (the Irish gangs who ruled the area through the 80’s). What makes this neighborhood special is that everyone seems to know each other here. The area’s architecture is mostly comprised of 3-5 story walk-up buildings that generally do not offer as much space and aesthetics as the brownstones of the Upper West Side or the hi-rises of Downtown. On the positive side, unless you are living directly in Times Square, chances are your rent or mortgage will not be as high as in most other neighborhoods in the city. Ninth Avenue has become a hotbed of fun and chic bars, restaurants and shops. There have been some new galleries that have opened in the area recently along with Kenneth Cole and Prada moving their corporate headquarters into the neighborhood. Residents say they are the next Soho, without the attitude. Theater Row, a mini Broadway hot spot of Off and Off-Off Broadway shows is currently getting a makeover. Because of the big boom in theater in the last few years, Theater Row is being torn down to bring in new and improved theaters. Located on 42nd Street between 8th and 9th Avenues.
