Halstead Property has just signed on to be the exclusive sales and
marketing representatives for 380 Lenox Avenue and for 1485 Fifth Avenue, president Diane
Ramirez told the New York Times. She also spoke about Windows on 123 in Harlem, where Halstead
replaced the Corcoran Group as marketing agents; two contracts have been
signed since they took over, and 13 units are left. As 2010 comes to a close, the real estate market is doing better than expected, Ramirez said. “I can tell you that ’08 was our second-biggest year — the beginning of that year was actually very good — and we’re about at those numbers right now,” she noted. “In 2011, I see a continual positive move forward — not leaps and bounds, but good, positive recovery.”  [NYT]
