New York Accommodation 1-bedroom Tribeca (NY-12061)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When in 1604 the Dutch sent Henry Hudson to America to find the Northwest Passage, he found\u00a0Native Americans\u00a0who lived on the Island that is now called \u2018Manhattan\u2019. Twenty years later, the Dutch bought the land they found from the Indians for a few US Dollars. More and more Dutch arrived in Manhattan in the coming years and the Island was soon to be called: \u2018New Amsterdam\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the Duke of York took \u2018New Netherlands\u2019 from the Dutch in 1664, Manhattan got named \u2018New York<\/a>\u2019 and its name has never changed.<\/p>\n

Now, almost 350 years later, Dutch history is still present in Manhattan. Great examples of this are the now called \u2018Hudson River\u2019, named after Henry Hudson, The street \u2018Amsterdam Avenue\u2019: One of the longest streets in Manhattan, and the famous Brownstone houses that are mainly located in Harlem<\/a>, the Upper East Side<\/a>, Upper West Side<\/a> and a few in the West Village<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, a new Dutch landmark will be introduced to New York\u2019s Manhattan:Van Berkel\u2019s \u2018Five Franklin Place\u2019: A 55-residence condominium,\u00a0 being built on the outskirts of Tribeca<\/a><\/strong>. The\u00a0prices of these residences, ranging from $2 to $16 million, will be determined by the\u00a0type (2 or 3-bedroom residences, lofts and penthouses), the size (1,200 to 3,400 square feet) and\u00a0 features, such as a rotating bedroom walls that can create a whole new dimension to the space.<\/p>\n

Even though the building is going to be extremely modern (eg. \u201cInvisible\u201d door frames and in Corian-sculpted kitchens), the Dutch architect (Van Berkel) says they \u2018picked up the strong horizontal cornices and decorative details of Tribeca\u2019s architecture, re-formed them and transported them onto [their] building in a very contemporary way that makes them truly functional\u2019.<\/p>\n

\n\t\"New<\/a>\n\t
New York Apartment in the Upper East Side studio (NY-11910)<\/div>\n<\/div>Again, New York City is undergoinging a change.<\/strong> A change for improvement, we think at New York Habitat. More accommodations in New York<\/a> will be available for rent in the future and who doesn\u2019t want to spend a few days in such a luxurious home? To stay in one of New York famous Brownstone Houses, consider for example Harlem vacation rentals<\/a> or apartments in the Upper East Side<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps in the future, New York Habitat will also rent accommodations in this\u00a0building. For now, we have some available apartments of other Dutch influence that might interest you include a Harlem 2 bedroom townhouse apartment (ny-12256)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But if you rather stay in a luxurious apartment, more like van Berkel\u2019s \u2018Five Franklin Place\u2019, we can recommend this One bedroom apartment in Battery Place (NY-14403)<\/a> for a more modern option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
