The Real Deal New York

A real estate firm is looking to purchase a huge affordable housing complex on the Lower East Side for $250 million.

The residents say they balked at the $250 million the company offered, judging it too high for the prospective buyers to maintain affordability at the property. more By Adam Pincus
