Of the Plaza Hotel ….

Part of the Plaza Hotel in NYC has recently been converted into luxury apartments with nearly 100 out of 181 units sold already. This New York Times article interviews a woman who is a full time resident in the building, but she has yet to meet any of her neighbors. About half of the people who own apartments in the building actually live there full time and the rest use it on weekends or as a second home. I don’t know about you, but if my neighbors weren’t around half the time I was in my $5.8 million home I would be jumping for joy, not feeling lonely.
