New Yorkers may still find it tricky to mix and mingle in real life — even with their apartment neighbors. Now, developers like Brodsky offer fun trips.
Forget shared lounges, or even meeting building neighbors in the in-house gym. These days, tenants of luxury buildings get to meet their neighbors and forge new friendships with fun off-property excursions.
The Brodsky Organization, a developer with more than 50 residential buildings in New York, is just one local name offering these treks.It debuted these getaways last fall in a partnership with the outdoor activity company Sourced Adventures. The kickoff was a day-long jaunt to Pennings Orchard in upstate Warwick to pick apples and pumpkins.
Case in point: Fannie Santana, a teacher who lives in Brodsky’s Brooklyn Crossing development, signed up for the winery outing to connect with her neighbors.“I live in a diverse building with neighbors of different backgrounds, and I wanted to get to know them,” she said. “Everyone in New York can be heads down. The trip was perfect because I had been wanting to visit the wineries anyway.”
The company’s marketing director, Natasha Mazeau, says that the off-property forays are tailored to each building — and are always at capacity.Dianette Caraballo, who rents in Gotham’s The Suffolk on the Lower East Side and works as a data analyst, attended the sailing option, and also took a walking historical tour of her neighborhood. Given the opportunity, she said that she would “definitely” sign up for more.
