What defines a SoHo loft?

SoHo lofts are characterized by cast-iron facade architecture, soaring ceiling heights (typically 11-14 feet), large industrial windows, and open floor plates. The neighborhood is a designated NYC landmark district. Conversions from former manufacturing buildings dominate; new development is rare and price-premium.

What are common charges in a Manhattan condo?

Manhattan condos use the term 'common charges' (not HOA fees). Common charges fund building operations, staff, amenities, and reserves. They are billed separately from NYC real estate taxes, which may be partially reduced by 421-a or other tax abatement programs on specific buildings. Trophy Manhattan buildings typically run $6 to $10 per square foot per month in common charges plus $3 to $8 per square foot in real estate taxes (taxes vary materially with abatement status).

What is the New York Attorney General offering plan?

Every Manhattan condominium sale is governed by an offering plan filed with the New York Attorney General.

Can foreigners buy Manhattan luxury condos?

Yes, no ownership restrictions for the vast majority of Manhattan condominiums. Foreign nationals can purchase with no visa or residency requirement. International buyers commonly acquire through an LLC for privacy and estate planning. Foreign buyers face FIRPTA withholding (15% of gross sale price for non-resident sellers) and need an ITIN for US tax filings. Several US banks offer foreign-national mortgage programs with 30% to 50% down. A US-based buyer-attorney for offering plan review is essential.
