Real Estate Weekly, March 3, 2004

Lincoln Towers, one of Manhattan's high-profile luxury residential communities, has appointed Cooper Square Realty Inc. as managing agent, announced David Kuperberg, president of Cooper Square.

The assignment--which covers six of eight buildings containing 2,700 apartments and includes management of Lincoln Towers Community Association--is effective immediately.

Located next to Lincoln Center, Lincoln Towers is a dominant feature of Manhattan's Upper West Side landscape and is regarded as one of New York's best addresses.

"We are extremely gratified to have won this most important assignment, which signifies the confidence that Cooper Square enjoys within the high-end residential sector," said Mr. Kuperberg. "In a sense, this is 13 assignments in one, including the community association, because each of the six buildings under our management is a 'cond-op' and will require specialized attention for both its coop and condo portions."

The 20-acre Lincoln Towers includes 24-hour doorman/concierge service, package rooms, storage, modern laundry facilities and bicycle rooms, gyms, and playrooms. There is also a private five-acre park, a large amount of off-street parking and indoor garages.

"We plan to immediately install CooperSquareConnect, a state-of-the-art property management communication system that features expanded resident communication and management components," said Mr. Kuperberg.

"It boosts management efficiency and provides a significant additional amenity for residents."

CooperSquareConnect is a flexible system that ties together disparate systems, utilizing ordinary devices such as telephones. For example, the system allows the property manager to place a single call that is delivered instantly to all or a select group of residents. This can be used for an emergency or a myriad of other reasons.
