Jonathan H. Canter Jonathan H. Canter Partner New York T 212.715.7549 F 212.715.7649 [email protected] Jonathan H. Canter represents leading developers, lenders and investors in a range of real estate matters, with a particular focus on condominium, cooperative and shared-ownership projects. Jonathan advises on the planning, development, structuring and implementation of sophisticated ownership, operation and management regimes. He also advises on the legal, regulatory and business aspects of the registration, marketing and sale of luxury and mixed-use condominiums in public and nonpublic offerings. He brings his prior experience as a litigator to his real estate work, shaping transactions to help his clients avoid lawsuits and providing strategic counseling when disputes do occur. Described by Legal 500 US as “the lead on all things condo,” Jonathan represents a roster of New York’s most prominent real estate players in connection with some of the highest-profile developments in recent years. Jonathan played a key role as lead condominium counsel on the development of Hudson Yards by Related/Oxford – the 28-acre, $18 billion project in midtown Manhattan containing over 18 million square feet of commercial and residential space. Jonathan’s work on the project included creating a projectwide ownership association and management regime to govern all the individual development parcels on the site. He also implemented distinct condominium structures for each of the project’s individual buildings, including the iconic 30 Hudson Yards, a 2.6 million-square-foot tower which serves as Warner Media’s world headquarters, home to Wells Fargo and KKR, and includes an adjoining 1 million-square-foot condominium retail complex. His other work at the complex includes registering the offering of $3.3 billion of luxury condominium residences for sale and establishing condominium regimes for 15 Hudson Yards and 35 Hudson Yards, which also feature commercial condominium units for The Shed performing arts center, an Equinox-branded hotel, first-class retail space and fitness facilities, and affordable rental apartments. Separately, Jonathan serves as counsel to Vornado Realty Trust and Related in the $1.6 billion redevelopment of the James A. Farley Post Office Building into the new Moynihan Station across from New York’s Penn Station.

Jonathan has been designated as a leading lawyer numerous times by Chambers USA, which quotes clients and peers as appreciating Jonathan’s knowledge and approach: “He offers mastery of subject matter and is accessible at all times. He is respectful, efficient and delightful to work with,” and “he can navigate difficult personalities and complex situations with great effect" (2021). Clients and other market participants have cited his “deep knowledge of the sector,” describing him as “instrumental and fantastic to work with” and “a consensus builder and team player” who "provides strategic vision as well as practical expert execution.” He has received numerous other honors, including recognition as Legal MVP in Real Estate by Law360 and as a leading real estate lawyer by Legal 500 US.

Early last century, industrial piers stretched up the Hudson River from the Battery to the Upper West Side. Most respectable New Yorkers shied away from the working waterfront and therefore lived toward the middle of the island. But in today’s postindustrial Manhattan, the West Side is a highly desirable—and expensive— place, home to residential developments catering to the well-to-do who want to live close to the waterfront and its now recreational piers.

For the overall Manhattan residential market CityRealty analyzed, consisting of condos, co-ops, and condops south of 96th Street on the East Side and south of 110th Street on the West Side; approximately 10,400 residential units are expected to close in 2019, down from 10,531 in 2018. There was a small increase in the average price paid for an apartment in 2019, rising from $2.07 million to $2.12 million. The median price of all apartments also rose slightly from $1.18 million to $1.2 million this year. Largely due to big-ticket purchases near the southern end of Central Park, most notably at 220 Central Park South, total residential sales of units sold for more than $10 million are projected to reach $4.60 billion by the end of 2019, up from $4.23 billion in 2018. Average Sales Price 2018: $2.07 million CONDOS AND CO-OPS 2019: $2.12 million 2018 2019 Condo Condo AVERAGE SALES PRICE AVERAGE SALES PRICE $2.96M $3.07M Co-op Co-op AVERAGE SALES PRICE AVERAGE SALES PRICE $1.38M $1.33M The average price of a condo in 2019 was $3.07 million, up from $2.96 million in 2018 The average price paid for a co-op was $1.33 million, down from $1.38 million in the year prior.

    A South American family has paid close to $27 million for eight units at Waterline Square, a new construction residential complex on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, according to the buyers’ agent, Maria Velazquez of Douglas Elliman. The buyers went into contract and closed on the all-cash deal on the same day, an extremely fast turnaround for the New York market, said Ms. Velazquez. She said her clients received a blended discount of more than 7% from the asking price of the units, which range in size from one to three bedrooms and span a total of roughly 11,000 square feet. Waterline Square, a three-tower project developed by GID Development Group, launched sales in 2017. Ms. Velazquez declined to name the family who bought the units, but said they hail from Peru and purchased the units as an investment with plans to rent them out. The family was looking for a safe place to park their cash amid the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic and related economic fallout, she said. “They felt their money was safer in an apartment in New York than in a bank,” Ms. Velazquez said. While the buyers had visited the sales office in November, she said, subsequent showings were all virtual, and the closing was completed over videoconference. Showings are currently not permitted under New York law as the state seeks to enforce social distancing measures. Waterline Square has 263 condos plus a number of rental units. GID declined to say how many condo units have sold. Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group heads sales at the complex.

  • Architecture Location
    “We’re creating an iconic new addition to the world’s most beautiful skyline.” ARNOLD FISHER FISHER BROTHERS Architecture A world-class condominium tower located in Tribeca and developed by a partnership of Fisher Brothers, Witkoff, and New Valley, 111 Murray Street soars 800 feet, offering 157 residences ranging from one-bedrooms to full-floor penthouses, with cinematic views of the Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, New York harbor, and beyond. Envisioned as an iconic new building with timeless style and uncompromising quality, 111 Murray Street is a collaboration between some of the best and brightest minds in architecture and design: Kohn Pedersen Fox, David Mann, David Rockwell, and Edmund Hollander. With a gently curved crystalline facade, the building’s sculptural silhouette softly flares to a peaked crown at its pinnacle, creating a bold new shape on the city skyline. Location 111 Murray Street occupies a privileged position in Tribeca surrounded by the best that Downtown has to offer. Epicurean delights range from Michelin-starred restaurants including Atera and Brushstroke to celebrated favorites Nobu, Odeon, and Locanda Verde, while the neighborhood’s variety of shopping experiences include local boutiques and quintessential flagships alike, including such retailers at the recently opened Brookfield Place as Hermès and Bottega Veneta. 111 Murray Street is just a short distance from some of the city’s most prized green spaces, from the famed Hudson River Park to niche local favorites such as Washington Market Park. Modern conveniences abound, including a neighboring Whole Foods Market, the nearby Chambers Street station as well as the World Trade Center transportation hub, and easy driving access to West Street for those traveling uptown.

  • 'Little Terrors'
    Don DeLillo’s Promiscuous Fictions: The Adulterous Triangle of Sex, Space, and Language Diana Marie Jenkins A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of English University of NSW, December 2005 This thesis is dedicated to the loving memory of a wonderful grandfather, and a beautiful niece. I wish they were here to see me finish what both saw me start. Contents Acknowledgements 1 Introduction 2 Chapter One 26 The Space of the Hotel/Motel Room Chapter Two 81 Described Space and Sexual Transgression Chapter Three 124 The Reciprocal Space of the Journey and the Image Chapter Four 171 The Space of the Secret Conclusion 232 Reference List 238 Abstract This thesis takes up J. G. Ballard’s contention, that ‘the act of intercourse is now always a model for something else,’ to show that Don DeLillo uses a particular sexual, cultural economy of adultery, understood in its many loaded cultural and literary contexts, as a model for semantic reproduction. I contend that DeLillo’s fiction evinces a promiscuous model of language that structurally reflects the myth of the adulterous triangle. The thesis makes a significant intervention into DeLillo scholarship by challenging Paul Maltby’s suggestion that DeLillo’s linguistic model is Romantic and pure. My analysis of the narrative operations of adultery in his work reveals the alternative promiscuous model. I discuss ten DeLillo novels and one play – Americana, Players, The Names, White Noise, Libra, Mao II, Underworld, the play Valparaiso, The Body Artist, Cosmopolis, and the pseudonymous Amazons – that feature adultery narratives.

  • Almost Every Luxury Development in Manhattan Boasts Expansive Views of the City
    Almost every luxury development in Manhattan boasts expansive views of the city. They all highlight their elegantly crafted living spaces. But to really separate themselves from the crowded market, more buildings are now looking to unique amenities to attract tenants. Gone are the days where a state-of-the-art gym, full-service spa or movie theater is unique. Even bowling alleys, like the multi-lane skittle spaces at 555TEN and Essex Crossing, are becoming a part of more buildings. So what’s a developer to do? Think bigger — or at least, think beyond what’s become the new normal. “Every landlord today is looking for a competitive edge and looking for something to offer as an amenity,” said Adam Cooper, co-founder of GasMob. “The ability to bring gas to them is just one extra thing they may have versus somebody else.” Yes, you read that right. Cooper has created a new app and partners with property owners to offer gas delivery to residents. He believes he can change how most people refuel their vehicle, particularly in big cities like New York. “In Manhattan alone there’s only a handful of gas stations at best,” Cooper said. “All my friends, especially in the summer, used to complain that they can’t find a gas station and when they could, it would be a pain in the ass because there’s always a line. “Since everything was moving in the mobile direction, like with food delivery nowadays, I said what about this and reached out to some oil partners that I worked with before and they said it’s a genius idea.” Through the app, the service delivers gas to residential buildings at scheduled times, usually five days a week, when residents can simply pump what they need.

  • Upzoning and Value Capture How U.S. Local Governments Use Land

Box 3062280, Tallahassee, FL, 32306, United States ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: The public sector can harness its authority to control land uses to secure valuable public benefits from real Value capture estate developments. This paper investigates how five major U.S. cities—Boston, Chicago, New York, San Upzoning Francisco, and Seattle—are using their land use regulation powers to create and capture value for the public Zoning negotiations benefit. An analysis of the zoning and entitlement processes of the 20 largest real estate development projects Land use exactions in each city reveals that value has been captured from all 100 projects. Furthermore, these cities implicitly Real estate development differentiated value capture into two distinct components: value creation and value capture. Among the100 projects, cities created value for 90 projects by allowing greater density and height—a practice often referred to as “upzoning.” Distinguishing such upzoning incidences from traditional land use exaction tools is im- portant because the added value gives local governments greater legitimacy in asking for public benefits. The experience of the five cities further revealed that value capture strategies can be customized to adapt tounique regulatory, political, and cultural contexts. Lastly, despite the fact that the majority of the upzoned projects increased density and height through project-specific negotiations, none of the cities had clear standards or evaluation frameworks for determining: how much value was created, what can be asked for in return, and who should benefit from the value captured.
