Oakwood launches short-stay apartments in Midtown Manhattan

US: Oakwood Worldwide has expanded its apartment portfolio in New York City with the opening of the renovated The Nash development on East 39th Street.

Located at 222 East 39th Street, in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Midtown, The Nash adds 43 units to the company's New York City portfolio, which includes nearly 750 apartments in more than 30 locations.

The Nash broadens the company's housing options with an offering of short-term stays for less than 30 days. Its opening follows new property launches at 234 Newbury Street in Boston's Back Bay and at Via 6 located at 2121 Sixth Avenue in downtown Seattle.

Leslie O'Brien, vice president and general manager for Oakwood Worldwide, said: "Many clients are asking for the flexibility of a shorter stay coupled with spacious apartment accommodations and amenities - only a handful of corporate housing providers in the area can offer this solution. And just like at our new Boston and Seattle properties, we are already seeing a lot of demand for The Nash apartments."

The Nash features an indoor/outdoor rooftop lounge with views of adjacent parks and landmarks, a 1,200-square-foot fitness centre with a boxing area and a 24-hour doorman and concierge.
