88 MORNINGSIDE OPENS DOORS TO NEWLY MODELED UNIT BY BOCONCEPT

New York, NY – March 30, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — Developers of 88 Morningside, a premier new development located on the corner of Morningside Avenue and West 122nd Street, has partnered with BoConcept, Denmark’s cutting-edge furniture chain, to create a special model with a “media room” — an extra room in a one-bedroom apartment that some might refer to as a “man cave.”

88 Morningside will showcase its model in a reception on Thursday, April 7, from 6 to 8 p.m.  See the special space which has been designed as an ideal room to watch television, play music or videogames.

The modeled unit 6F is a 954-square foot one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment listed at $595,000.  Like the modeled unit, several of the one-bedroom apartments at 88 Morningside were designed with an extra 115-square-foot room suitable for any number of uses: a home office, nursery, crafts room, or a place to store that overflow of shoes and purses considered must-haves by so many New York women.

The event at 88 Morningside (88 Morningside Avenue at West 122nd Street), will be catered by Mel’s Burger Bar (www.melsburgerbar.com), which will serve burgers, fries, wings and beer to complement the distinctly masculine theme.

BoConcept, which has more than 340 sales outlets in over 50 countries, offers customized, coordinated and affordable furniture and accessories specially designed to “match the needs and dreams” of its urban-minded customers.

88 Morningside (www.88Morningside.com) is a modern, 12-story residential building that features a total of 73 residences.  The remaining units are a mix of one, two and three bedrooms, ranging in size from 625-1,270 square feet and in price from $375,000– $880,000.

Representatives from 88 Morningside will be on hand to answer any questions as well as provide tours of available units.  For more information on 88 Morningside, go to www.88morningside.com.
