    Dear Community Partners, “Challenging” seems both an accurate and yet inadequate word to describe the last year as we confronted - as a nation and as a community - a series of crises from public health and economic dislocation to reckonings over racial justice and equity. Through it all, the Union Square Partnership played an important role in seeking to keep residents and businesses informed and connected, guiding them to resources, and working with relevant city agencies to support the district. What started as a COVID response turned to a COVID recovery agenda and by the fall of 2020, we released the #USQNext District Recovery Plan. This plan was aimed at accelerating the resumption of business activity and introducing quality of life improvements to continue the upward trend the neighborhood was enjoying prior to the pandemic. UNION SQUARE-14TH STREET HAS DEMONSTRATED INCREDIBLE RESILIENCE OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND THE DISTRICT IS WELL-POSITIONED TO REBOUND This year’s Annual Report is organized around the five pillars of the recovery plan, including reemphasizing core services like sanitation, beautification, and public safety coordination, bolstering our marketing efforts, and pursuing exciting new projects in the bold District Vision Plan released this past January. Most important, we would like to take a moment to express gratitude for the tireless dedication of frontline workers and essential service providers who kept our city functioning and to acknowledge the loss of loved ones that has affected so many. We hold each of you in our hearts. We are committed to championing the district’s recovery With spring blooming in our area, vaccinations on the rise, and life through the vital programs outlined in our #USQNext District Recovery Plan.

  • 2005 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 22
    HVS International : 2005 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 22 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview HVS International, in cooperation with New York University’s Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, is pleased to present the eighth annual Manhattan Hotel Market Overview. In 2004, the Manhattan lodging market experienced an impressive recovery, with a RevPAR increase of 22% compared to 2003. From March through December of 2004, the market recorded double-digit growth in RevPAR each month, ranging from a high of 41% in April to a low of roundly 17% in October. At 83.2%, overall occupancy reached close to the historical peak achieved in 2000 (at 83.7%) while marketwide average rate was less than 10% below the 2000 level. Occupancy and average rate in 2005 should surpass 2000 levels. Due to limited new supply and increased compression resulting from near-maximum-capacity occupancy levels, overall RevPAR will experience double-digit growth for the next few years. Based on an overall improved economic climate, strong barriers to entry, limited new supply, and increased compression, we forecast the Manhattan lodging market to achieve a robust ±17% RevPAR growth in 2005. HVS International HVS International is a global consulting and services organization focused on the hotel, restaurant, timeshare, gaming, and leisure industries. Its clients rely on the firm’s specialized industry knowledge and expertise for advice and services geared to enhance economic returns and asset value. Through a network of 23 offices staffed by more than 200 seasoned industry professionals, HVS offers a wide scope of services that track the development/ownership process.

  • NEW YORK ‐ Vol. 2 2017 May 23 - 27
    the Report: NEW YORK ‐ Vol. 2 2017 May 23 - 27 Hotel and community / ホテルとコミュニティ 1. Ace Hotel 2. NoMad Hotel 3. The Beekman Hotel 4. Sean Mac Pherson 5. 11 Howard Hotel the Report: HOTEL and Community New York has been always leading the world design in innovative and free dynamic forms. It has been giving many inspirations to the world, and that position has never been changed. However, the New York design in recent years has evolved in sophisticated way rather than just introducing new random ideas. In the beginning of the 2000s, the sense of fear walking in the public in middle of night still existed, but now that has been gone from New York City. When the city became clean and safe, the price of real-estate went up and forcing the young artists to move to the deeper Brooklyn or elsewhere. The place where new creativity can be achieved freely is no longer in Manhattan. The city has been evolving in a different way with big money. There have been some attempts to demolish the old elements from NYC and build such as amusement parks, which may be safe and clean, but making it " boring" city. However, Manhattan was protected by the regulation of landmarks and also the pride of the community would not let that happened. Thus far, not only the city has become cleaner and safer, but also it has developed into the present age of "vintage modern" with full of love and ideas to make New York a better place. Also, not just proposing new style and trend, the City attracts people just enhancing the brand of "New Yorker lifestyle" without any new attractions.

  • 2007 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 28
    HVS Hospitality Services : 2007 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 28 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview HVS Hospitality Services, in cooperation with New York University's Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, is pleased to present the tenth annual Manhattan Hotel Market Overview. A slight uptick in Manhattan’s occupancy level in 2006 led to a record high of 85.0%. Despite a virtually stable occupancy, the Manhattan lodging market registered a 13.4% increase in RevPAR compared to 2005, continuing its impressive performance. The market’s RevPAR gain was supported by double-digit growth in average rate each month of the year, with the exception of December, causing year-end 2006 average rate to exceed the 2005 level by 13.2%. The high rates registered by the Manhattan lodging market were caused primarily by continued strong demand levels in 2006, allowing hotel operators to be more selective with lower-rated demand and increasingly boost rates, thereby accommodating greater numbers of higher-rated travelers. We note that the market’s overall occupancy level of 85.0% in 2006 highlights the underlying strength of the Manhattan market, which continued to operate at near-maximum-capacity levels. Because of a further decline in supply in 2006, the market continued to experience many sell-out nights, causing a significant amount of demand to remain unaccommodated. Given the larger-than-ever construction pipeline in Manhattan, a substantial portion of previously unaccommodated demand is expected to be accommodated in the future. Manhattan’s marketwide occupancy and average rate both achieved new record levels in 2006, and we expect the positive trend to continue in 2007.
