Before & After | 40 East 94th Street, Apartment 7DE

A successful renovation isn't always about changing everything. It's about knowing where to invest to create the most value.

For Apartment 7DE, we focused on strategic improvements that would brighten and refresh the home while keeping the project on time and within budget. Updates included a new quartz kitchen countertop, new wood cabinetry, targeted bathroom improvements, and an overall refresh throughout the apartment.

The result: a new lease at $15,500 per month, allowing the owner to achieve close to a 5% rental return — a difficult benchmark to reach for a Manhattan apartment.

At Garay Real Estate, our role goes beyond traditional brokerage. We help our clients identify value-added improvements, coordinate renovations, manage projects, and ultimately position their properties to achieve the strongest possible results.
Renovate strategically. Add value. Maximize the return.

Some views never get old!

From the 15th floor at The Bentley Condominium, the Empire State Building, Metlife and Chrysler building are all yours for the taking! It's a perspective that few Manhattan homes can offer and one that makes this apartment truly unique.

A truly iconic view is something you can't renovate or recreate—it's a feature that only a select few homes possess.

Luxury Transformation. Increasing Rental Appeal and Owner Value. Excited to begin updating this beautiful residence at 40 East 94th Street, 7DE. This spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home featured an older kitchen, so we installed a brand-new quartz countertop and breakfast bar, creating a more functional layout while giving the space a fresh, modern feel.

With an asking rent of $16,500 per month, every improvement is designed to enhance the living experience for the next tenant while protecting and increasing the long-term value of the owner's investment.

Thoughtful renovations don't always require a complete gut renovation. Strategic upgrades can make a significant impact, helping luxury properties remain competitive and continue to command premium rents for years to come.

If you're considering renovating, leasing, or maximizing the value of your Manhattan investment property, I'd be happy to help.

Residence 14A at Three Ten Condominium, located at 310 East 53rd Street, was one of my favorite sales. Originally purchased by the previous owner in 2015, this exceptional high-floor residence is the type of apartment that rarely comes to market.

Spanning approximately 1,603 square feet, the home features two bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, floor-to-ceiling windows, and luxury finishes throughout. The breathtaking views stretch across the East River to Long Island City and prominently showcase the iconic 59th Street Bridge. Adding to its appeal is a private terrace—a highly coveted feature that is increasingly difficult to find in Manhattan condominiums.

What makes this residence particularly special is not only its layout and views, but also the building itself. Three Ten Condominium has developed a reputation as one of those rare residential communities where owners tend to stay for years. Many residents consider it their forever home, a testament to the building's quality, location, and lifestyle.

Apartments of this caliber are becoming increasingly difficult to replicate in today's market. If you are searching for a luxury condominium with expansive views, outdoor space, and a premier Midtown East location, or if you're considering buying or selling a similar property, contact Garay Real Estate. We would be honored to help you find your next home.

Boca's growing appeal among younger professionals and families has further strengthened the area's long-term outlook.

In 2022, in partnership with , we had the privilege of selling a historic townhome located at 1 Sherman Street in the Windsor Terrace neighborhood of Brooklyn.

This exceptional property stood out for several reasons. Situated on a rare corner lot along one of Windsor Terrace's beautiful tree-lined streets, the home offered the character and charm that Brooklyn buyers seek but seldom find. Even more unique was the presence of a large two-car garage—an amenity that is extraordinarily rare for a Brooklyn townhouse.

While the home required a complete renovation, its underlying structure and architectural integrity were outstanding. The buyer recognized the opportunity to restore and enhance a property with tremendous long-term potential, making it an excellent investment.

The home's recent resale for $3.7 million is especially gratifying to see. There is no greater compliment than watching a property appreciate in value after a transaction. At Garay Real Estate, our goal is never simply to complete a sale—we strive to help our clients make sound real estate decisions that benefit them for years to come.

We believe the best transactions are those in which both parties win. Sellers move forward confidently into their next chapter, and buyers acquire a property that provides both enjoyment and long-term value. Seeing a successful outcome years after a closing reinforces the importance of that philosophy.

If you are considering buying or selling in Brooklyn, we would be honored to help you navigate one of New York City's most dynamic and rewarding real estate markets.

In 2022, I had the privilege of representing the sale of a premier industrial development site in Somerset, New Jersey, for $19 million. The transaction occurred at the beginning of New Jersey's warehouse development boom, as demand for logistics and distribution facilities surged in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic.

The property consists of approximately 9.5 acres located on highly desirable Davidson Avenue, with immediate access to Interstate 287, one of the region's most important transportation corridors. Together with the adjacent parcel, the site offers the potential for the development of more than 200,000 square feet of industrial space, making it a significant opportunity in one of New Jersey's strongest warehouse and distribution markets.

The sale represented a major milestone for the area and reflected the growing demand from investors and developers seeking strategically located industrial assets throughout Central New Jersey.

I look forward to watching the property's transformation in the years ahead and seeing the impact this future warehouse development will have on the local economy, job creation, and the continued growth of Somerset's industrial corridor.

Gus Karagio started out as a real estate client in 2018. Our first transaction was a 1031 exchange acquisition of a shopping center in Wyndham, New Hampshire.
