  • Fur District’
    Nypost.com March 14, 2018 Well-heeled New Yorkers are flocking to the ‘Fur District’ By Emily Nonko Impressions 23,917,718 Simon Fagg recently moved to amenity-laden rental Abington House. It's just one of the projects energizing 30th Street, once the domain of 9-to-5ers. Zandy Mangold n In the 1970s, Bennett Model commuted to work on 30th Street at his family’s company, a buying office that purchased luxury outerwear for stores around the I world. At the time, the area was known as the Fur District: Between 30th and 27th streets and Sixth and Eighth avenues, “there were over 350 fur-related companies” — and not much else, says Model, now 70. It was unfathomable that the neighborhood would attract more than a 9-to-5 crowd; the swath south of Penn Station and the Empire State Building was dominated by Nypost.com March 14, 2018 commercial businesses and had nothing in the way of nightlife. “It wasn’t a place where people lived,” Model says. Today, developers are building 346 condo and rental units along 30th Street, from the Hudson to the East River, according to Halstead Property Development Marketing. New residents bullish on the area include Simon Fagg, a 42-year-old Brit who moved to a studio at 500 W. 30th St.’s Abington House in 2015. The shift was, of course, gradual. In the 1990s, Model witnessed fur companies getting priced out or taking business elsewhere, and warehouses were converted to loft apartments. These days, he observes, practically everything — the under-construction towers, the Kimpton Hotel Eventi (renovated in 2015), Nordstrom Rack (opened in fall 2017) and hip Till & Sprocket restaurant (a 2016 debut) — is different.

  • New York City Third Quarter 2017
    Market Report New York City Third Quarter 2017 Avison Young’s 2017 Third Quarter Manhattan Market Report includes our insights on office leasing, investment sales, debt & equity, valuation & advisory and retail activity. While there has been some pullback in investment sales activity and the debt & equity environment, at the same time positive influences have created opportunities within the other groups. In the following pages, we highlight not only the challenges, but also the bright spots that point to a New York City real estate market where the fundamentals overall remain intact. The Manhattan office leasing market was heavily influenced by a greater flight to quality towards the newer and more efficient properties by the less price sensitive tenants committing to significant amounts of space in and around the Hudson Yards area in Midtown. While some members of our valuation and advisory team like to refer to the Hudson Yards area and its emergence as the new “Last Frontier,” both Midtown South and Downtown have proven attractive to a growing mix of tenants including co-working and government/public administration agencies, which helped push leasing volume in these markets well above year-over-year levels. Healthy leasing demand overall has kept the Manhattan market in equilibrium with a 10.4 percent vacancy rate at the end of the third quarter, and plenty of space options remain suitable for all office occupiers regardless of price sensitivity. A weak supply of availabilities led to a decline in investment sales activity when measured by both dollar volume and number of transactions. This trickled down to the debt and equity market, as acquisition financing declined in lockstep.

In the summer of 2013, at the urging of RPA, MAS, and many others, the New York City Council voted to limit Madison Square Garden’s permit to operate on top of Penn Station to just 10 more years. By 2023, New York will have had the chance to reimagine our nation’s busiest train terminal. This represents a historic opportunity to shape the future of Manhattan’s west side and ensure the economic health of the city and the region. But the clock is ticking. New York must take advantage of this narrow window to ensure that the necessary steps are taken to plan for a new Penn Station and Madison Square Garden and to re-envision the surrounding area. To help move this critical project forward, RPA and MAS will be jointly issuing a series of reports in the coming months. This report outlines the case for a new Penn Station, describes principles to help guide development and illustrates the necessary elements for a new transit hub.
