The Manhattan rental market is legendary for the heroic searches, daring bids, and heart-breaking prices it has spawned. In a city where nearly three quarters of residents are renters, it should come as potentially game-changing news that about 38,000 new market-rate rentals are projected to be completed in the city over the next three years. How a rise in inventory may or may not affect the rental market remains to be seen. Meantime, here are some of the new crop of rentals on the island of Manhattan.
