As you read this, I am currently reviewing an 85-unit apartment building to be built on the Hudson River facing Manhattan. To maximize the real estate potential and the view, the building’s shape is extremely irregular and confusing, causing all sorts of weird shapes in the apartments.

Apartment (or condo) living poses a question for all Feng Shui students: do I read the main complex, or do I read the individual unit? The answer is not easy, for you need to read both, which is why reading an apartment, even a small one, is as complex as reading a house.
