Frequently asked

Developer services, clearly answered.

Have a project-specific question? Email info@velvet.nyc.

At what stage should Velvet become involved?

Velvet can contribute during early planning, while construction or renovation is underway, before a market launch, or when an existing property needs repositioning. Earlier involvement creates more opportunity to align the product with its intended buyer or renter.

Do you handle both exclusive sales and rentals?

Yes. Engagements can focus on exclusive sales, rental lease-up, or a phased strategy that addresses different inventory and timing needs.

Can Velvet coordinate staging and interior design?

Yes. Velvet can help define the presentation goal, identify and coordinate the appropriate staging or design specialists, and keep decisions connected to the property’s market position.

How does renovation support work?

Velvet helps organize the scope, gather and compare proposals, coordinate qualified contractors and specialists, track milestones, and maintain communication. Licensed professionals remain responsible for their regulated work.

Can services be limited to one part of a project?

Yes. Support can be scoped around a specific need—such as staging, lease-up, exclusive representation, or contractor coordination—or structured as a broader project relationship.

Can the property transition into ongoing management?

Yes. For suitable properties, Velvet can plan the handoff from construction, renovation, or lease-up into ongoing property management and resident operations.
