A Smart Investment Opportunity

As a land-lease co-op, The Excelsior offers exceptional value. Purchase prices are significantly lower compared to most co-ops or condos, while monthly costs are only slightly higher. This structure allows owners to preserve capital, which can be reinvested into opportunities that generate returns. The corporation has the unilateral right to extend the ground lease through 2064, making this an intelligent long-term choice.
