Many New York City developments would like to be considered cutting-edge for their architecture, use of smart-home technology, and amenities. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and drastic measures to contain it have shown just how far ahead of the curve some buildings are.

A number of agents have added videos of their listings to their marketing materials, and virtual tours allow apartment hunters to "walk" through an apartment by scrolling a mouse (examples can be seen here). However, a growing number of new developments are taking a more personal approach by offering prospective buyers customized walk-throughs of apartments, amenity spaces, and sales offices via Zoom, FaceTime, and WhatsApp. Tours can also be conducted through Facebook Live and Instagram Live. Such arrangements were always in the works for these buildings, but are proving to be invaluable now. Contact CityRealty to schedule an appointment with an agent.
