The luckiest nursey in the world at One Manhattan Square (Extell Development Company)
Updated 12/2/2019 with new offers and listings
When New York's updated mansion tax was enacted earlier this year, its intent was to raise proceeds for infrastructure and enhancing the MTA. The tax increase affected high-end buyers purchasing apartments of more than $2 million. However, the timing of the deal has coincided with a general market slowdown at the high end and ongoing fears of a recession.
The increase in carrying cost passed on to buyers has inspired the real estate community to, um, get creative. To beat the Mansion Tax July 1 enaction date, some brokers made it a contractual obligation to close by July 1." For listings that have not sold, some sellers have been reducing prices or even slash their prices to bring the unit into a lower tax bracket.

More recently, The Real Deal reports that new construction sponsor units have joined the fray. We have gotten used to seeing rental buildings offering concessions of all types, but these take it to a whole new level. Extell Development, the firm at the helm of the likes of One57, Brooklyn Point, and Central Park Tower, is launching a "rent-to-buy" program at One Manhattan Square. The amenity-wealthy Lower East Side project is allowing renters to apply a full year's rent to the purchase price of the condo unit. Elsewhere, developers like Magnum Real Estate and Elad Group are offering to cover increased mansion and/or transfer taxes that would be paid by buyers. And still others will even throw in a Mercedes to sweeten the deal.
In at least one instance, these programs have proven successful - Ekstein Development Group offered to pay mansion taxes on all condos at 30E31 purchased before September 30, and our listings show at least six units offering the incentive are now in-contract. Below is short rundown of buildings offering similar initiatives.
