Manhattan College Statement on Overlook Manor Sale
The College adhered to all applicable laws and policies, regarding the future use of the property.
“In May 2023, Manhattan College completed the sale of Overlook Manor, our only off campus residence hall. In the sale agreement, the College made sure to adhere to all applicable laws and policies, regarding the future use of the property, and avoided any clause that could be construed as discriminatory.
We are aware of reports that the new owners may be engaged with the City of New York regarding the leasing of the property. However, Manhattan College no longer owns the off-campus property, does not control the property nor is a party to any leasing agreement.
Manhattan College has no intentions of renting out any of its open student housing to anyone other than students of Manhattan College. The College will continue to partner with its neighbors, as it has since its inception, on a variety of common interest matters.”
