A sampling of last week’s press coverage of CORE and CORE properties.

“Bow tie”
New York Post
Now that the north side of the Bowery has been transformed from gritty to glam, the southern portion of the Bowery is on developers’ radars. CORE’s Tony Sargent spoke to the Post about the state of the Bowery market below Houston Street, and the offers he’s fielding on his great two-bedroom listing at 195 Bowery, pictured at right.

“On the Market”
New York Times
Maggie Kent’s listing at 200 East 16th Street in Gramercy, a one-bedroom, one-bath with a built-in office nook in a prewar doorman building, is praised by the Times for its park views and recent renovations.

“Living Large: 240 Park Avenue South”
CBS
As we mentioned last week, the stunning 5-bedroom apartment on Park Avenue South listed by Michael Graves was the subject of a “Living Large” segment on CBS New York. Check out the piece for a great video tour of the 3,700-square-foot spread.

“The Real Estate Artists”
Avenue
CORE CEO Shaun Osher and Managing Director Tom Postilio are featured in Avenue magazine’s silent-film-inspired photo spread on New York’s leading real estate stars.

The rising 1 World Trade Center is changing the face of the Lower Manhattan skyline as it climbs all the way up to 1,776 feet, which will make it America’s tallest building. On the Lower East Side, another downtown neighborhood, but one known more for nightlife and historic tenements than tourists and office towers, the view from 195 Bowery is perfectly unobstructed, giving you a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the changing cityscape. Looking out over the rooftops, all the way to the skyscrapers of the Financial District, the view cuts to the core of what New York City really is: a collection of diverse neighborhoods.

When location and quality come together, it’s a beautiful marriage. Call them trophy homes, perfect properties, or Manhattan’s most wanted. Just don’t call them in a month, because they probably won’t be around that long. Here are three listings on the market that are bound to make fans, fast.

Where: 422 East 72nd Street, 28/29C
Size: 4 bedrooms/3 bathrooms
Asking: $4,250,000
Listed by: Alison Abovsky and Kirk Rundhaug

The Upper East Side has a reputation as a family-friendly neighborhood, and this gorgeous duplex in a full-service condominium building has the perfect layout for a large brood.

Air and light make good Manhattan homes great, and this 2,900-square-foot space is filled with sunlight and boasts two balconies to take in excellent city views.
