Eager to capitalize on the hundreds of Stuyvesant Town residents currently seeking to relocate to a stable, more pleasurable living environment, Waterside Plaza is doing the unthinkable to entice them by offering modern apartments with real amenities at affordable rates. The Waterside Plaza apartment complex is just a stone's throw from Stuy Town and offers their residents real amenities that tenants actually want. The apartment complex boasts 24 hour doormen, attended parking garages, in-complex shopping amenities and a three-story health club complete with a pool and saunas. Spacious apartments with spectacular views start at $2,300 a month, significantly less than Stuyvesant Town's starting price of $2,995*, and you won't have to live with NYU or The New School college students.
Stuy Town ex-patriots now residing at Waterside Plaza couldn't be happier. "It's so nice waking up when we want to wake up," one WP tenant told us. "After being rattled out of bed at 5AM by tractors for the past four years I feel like I've died and gone to heaven!"
"I don't need a bar underneath my apartment," an annoyed Stuyvesant Town resident tells us, referring to the forthcoming Oval Lounge which promises pool and booze despite the fact the East Village offers hundreds of bars and nightclubs. "I wish they would offer real amenities like staffing those security cameras, I've had three bikes stolen this year."
Tishman Speyer spokesperson, Buddy Perrone, said he's not concerned that Tish-Spy is destroying a community that has thrived for over sixty years. "There's a new sucker born every minute. Come to the leasing office and I'll show you."
* $3,500.
Rock on, Lux! Having spent so much time in Sty-Town, I've seen first-hand that of which you speak; namely gardens that look like they were planned and executed by Johnny Appleseed on a bad acid trip, water main breaks flooding tenant storage spaces,'luxurious' open graves deep enough to seat a family of 12, etc. No one thinks cancer is funny; I certainly didn't get that vibe from a previous post. While it cannot be proven that this sort of digging causes cancer, it hasn't been disproven, either. Can you say, 'Ebola'? Sure, Tish; I'll just bet people are flocking to Sty-Town. Just like they'd line up to receive a full-volume enema!
I think TS press guy Buddy Perrone is a genius. He gave such a brilliant quote in the Times piece yesterday. His "cancer isn't funny" quote really showed he understands satire, and it wasn't defensive-sounding at all! His other quote about how Lux Living is ineffective because PCVST had their "biggest leasing months so far" was also brilliant because he conveniently left out the fact that they've been forced to lower rents due to so many vacancies. I wonder if he's giving any PR seminars at the Learning Annex anytime soon? If so, sign me up!
I think that TishSpy should get an award for being the Stupidest Landlord in The City of New York. They buy a place for grossly more than it's worth - on borrowed money - harrass the rent stabilized tenants and thereby draw loads of negative press attention to themselves; try to market the joint to young Yuppie families, but then drive them out with obscene rent increases; then try to attract young Yunnies and grads, but because they attracted them with an illegal offering of pressurized walls which they now find they can't deliver, offer these folk no financial compensation or any kind of a carrot to stay in the apartments! They lay off important personnel, such as porters, plumbers, security guards; outsource their billing and customer service to India, while at the same time making major screwups on market rate renters rent bills; however, they have the money to employ hundreds and hundreds of [probably] illegal alien "gardeners" to do the worst landscaping job in the history of New York - or anywhere else for that matter! Are these people sane????? Don't Jerry, Robbie, Hatzman, Perrone, et al all belong tied to gurneys in Bellvue? I can't imagine a more inept bunch of halfwits! It's as though the Three Stooges were running PCVST! I'm sure this has the makings of a Michael Moore movie. Where are ya Michael?
Remember our nice new neighbor, Joey? This is how he writes about us:

Too bad Joey doesn't have a blog as smart and intelligent as Lux Living.
I. What is a "Yunnie"?
2. Where are Edna Doodle and mother? Last, we heard from them, they were watching Camelot. I must say that Richard Burton trumps Richard Harris any day. WHAT DO THE SIMPLE FOLK DO TO HELP THEM ESCAPE WHEN THEY'RE BLUE?
3. When Lux Living didn't appear this morning, I worried that the NY Times had scared him off. I was so happy to return home this evening to Lux's new post. I love you Luxie.
Yunnie stands for young urban narcissist:

Just saw the NY Times piece. Way to go, Luxie!!!
Those poor California pensioners. Seems like their fund manager likes to roll the dice in poor real estate deals like bankrupt developers and Stuy Town. Seems like all T-S investors have to learn the hard way. If I were an investor, I'd be wringing their neck for answers on why they think they can manage a massive property with ZERO residential management experience.

And ZERO brains!
Well. Waterside, Schwaterside has nuthin' on our swanky new Oval Lounge! Nothing will get mother and I out of our un-air conditioned Stuy Town apartment on a hot summer night faster than the promise of an Alaskan Polar Bear Heater (or two!!!), courtesy of Tishman Speyer's own Mixmaster Extraordinaire, Buddy "Love" Perrone! Mmmmmm! Delish!
To Edna and Mother: I will be moonlighting as the bouncer for Oval Lounge (can't get by on a commish salary these days) and I'll be happy to escort you two lovely ladies home through Stuy Forest after you've had a few Alaskan Polar Bear Heaters. If Mother can't hold it til she gets home and has to "go" in the bushes, I promise to be a gentleman and look the other way.
I lived at Waterside for 4 years and it's not all cake. Management requires residents to register themselves and their guests and to use photo swipe cards to enter the building. Security was usually good but occasionally they'd be really creepy, especially when my girlfriend was alone at night walking home. July 4th makes all of the other issues negligible; there is no better place to see the fireworks in the city.
Hey Noah, STPCV management requries residents to register their guests, if they want a key card, and we have photo key cards. Many doorman buildings do require tenants to register their guests. We don't have to do that because we don't have doormen.;-) Our Security is really creepy too, but they are not all that good! In fact, they are only good at being never around when you need them.
Pretty nice site, wants to see much more on it! :)
