Developing property in Manhattan is anything but a straightforward process. Miles of red tape, financial issues, protests from neighbors and construction delays are par for the course, and setbacks are simply a part of the ordeal. Still, some buildings do seem to take an inordinate amount of time to come to fruition. Here are three properties hitting the market this spring that we have been waiting for with great anticipation.

If we were to look at its architecture alone, 150 Charles Street in the West Village may not be as glitzy or glamorous as some of the other new buildings coming up in New York City. But while its exterior may be low profile, its interior is anything but ordinary—the luxury apartments being offered at 150 Charles Street have been selling like hot cakes ever since they came into the market in February. People have been lining up to snap up the homes at 150 Charles Street, and nearly half of the building’s 91 condos have already been sold.
