Buy A NYC Apartment, Get A Free Bike

Will a thousand dollar bicycle get you to buy a multi-million dollar apartment? Probably not but it's an interesting incentive. The 211 Elizabeth building in Manhattan's Nolita area will offer custom bikes from A Black Bike, the first Dutch bike company based in NYC, to the owners of the 15 homes in the building. The bikes have the same new-meets-old sensibility as the building which features pre-war inspired layouts, wood-burning fireplaces and seven-foot black wood-framed windows and kitchens. The units in 211 Elizabeth are comparatively modest in size (which is also eco-friendly, less room to heat and cool). The one and two bedroom units top out at just over 2,000 square feet. Prices of available units range from $1.6 million to $3.9 million for a two-bedroom with a large terrace.
