Hunting season has officially begun.
House hunting, that is.
Thanks to a number of condo, rental and co-op buildings launching sales and leasing this spring and summer, New Yorkers on the prowl for a bigger and better habitat have a range of spiffy options to browse.
Among the newcomers, distinct themes emerge.
Some buildings come designed by some of the world’s most famous architects, while others command attention with unusually striking facades. Some will scrape the sky, while others are cropping up in areas farther from Manhattan’s core. Whatever your budget or taste, there’s something for everyone.
Here, The Post rounds up the four trends in new development making waves across town.
Trend 2: Starchitects in the sky
