A new apartment building w/o Mitchell Lama, 80/20, Section 8, or any other kind of welfare/subsidized tenants who ruin the quality of life? If he is going to pay north of upper 6 figures for a NEW apartment then he does not want to deal with all the riff raff and gimme grants. Just 100% market rate neighbors.
There are a number of buildings throughout NYC that do not have Mitchell Lama, 80/20, Section 8 or any other welfare/subsidy. I'm not very familiar with the building (Jolie on Greenwich) in the below youtube video, but based on my preliminary research, your friend may like it very much:

Don't assume they were "welfare" tenant's. I know 7-8 salary figure people who act like that.

yeah, because only "lower income groups smoke weed, blast loud music in the weight room, and throw beer bottles and clip their toenails by the swimming pool."

The people in the Jolie video don't have run of the mill money, and the lowest prices start at $1.68 million.

The woman is Hannah Bronfman, the mixed race (B/W) Seagram heiress and her husband, Brendan Fallis.

Yep, and her branch of the Bronfman family has ties to Lehman Brothers (of the 2007-2008 financial crisis).

You missed the "all by myself" part. I don't want to be solely financially responsible for all of that.
