New York, NY – March 16, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — Rose Associates, the New York-based full-service real estate firm, announced today that it has been named the exclusive leasing and managing agent at The Wimbledon, a luxury rental property located at 200 East 82nd Street in Manhattan. Owned by the Boston-based Rockpoint Group, The Wimbledon offers 223 apartments in studio, one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom configurations.
“We are pleased to assume the role of managing and leasing agent at this standout Upper East Side building,” said Mitchell S. Gelberg, senior managing director at Rose Associates. “With its prominent location and spacious apartments, The Wimbledon is a highly desirable place to live.”
The Wimbledon offers an attended lobby and spacious roof deck. While the property’s apartments and common areas have been renovated over the years, Rose is analyzing the feasibility of a new renovation program, which would include combining units to create more three- and four-bedroom apartments.
“At The Wimbledon, we see an opportunity to increase the number of large apartments. Three- and four-bedroom apartments are in very high demand, so we will consider combining and fully renovating units as they become vacant,” said Gelberg. “As in any Rose-driven renovation program, we’ll also look at repurposing or adding features to the property’s common areas.”
The Wimbledon is a short walk from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is also close to the 4, 5 and 6 subway trains. Additional information is available at www.rentrose.com.
