The History and Future of Monument Creation in NYC New monuments are coming to NYC. But how will they be selected?

Murray Hill author publishes first novel, Five Ferries Five Ferries, by MHNA member William Michael Ried, tells the story of recent college graduate Stephen Kylemore, who yearns to escape a country and a family torn apart by the Vietnam War. Buoyed by his love of literature and a dream of living an odyssey of his own, he buys a one-way ticket for the journey he will come to call “Europe on No Dollars a Day.” Readers of a certain age will recognize a world that seems archaic in this day of debit cards and instant communication. But time and technology don’t diminish the universal human experience of survival and redemption, love, loss and liberty that await any traveler breaking trail. MHNA member William Michael Ried has practiced law in New York City for thirty-nine years, almost as long as he spent writing his first novel, Five Ferries. He lives with his wife in Murray Hill. Five Ferries was published in October and can be purchased on Amazon.com. Read more. Changes in our neighborhood (including in progress) Façade Closing Up, Sales Underway For Solow’s 685 First Avenue In Murray Hill October 5, 2018, newyorkyimby.com, by Andrew Nelson In just under two years, the tower and façade have topped out, sales have launched, and completion is expected by the end of the year. Sheldon Solow’s Solow Building Company is developing the 42-story minimalist Murray Hill skyscraper...The 460-foot tall structure yields 800,000 square feet for residential use, and 10,000 square foot for two separate ground-floor retail shops. The building’s 556 residences will be divded between rentals and condominiums, with 408 rentals on floors three through 27, and 148 condominiums on floors 28 through 43...The distinctive horizontal cutout in the center of the façade will allow for private balconies on the duplex condominiums occupying floors 28 and 29. The views, however, are not expected to last for long. Development of the adjacent Con Ed lot is expected to largely obscure 685 1st Avenue from the water...The tower officially launched sales this May. Units will start at $1,495,000. JPMorgan files for air-rights transfer to boost new Midtown East tower September 24, 2018, crainsnewyork.com, by Joe Anuta JPMorgan Chase filed plans this month to apply development rights from the landmarked Grand Central Terminal to the company's new tower planned for Park Avenue. The transfer of around 668,000 square feet of air rights indicates progress on the project, which was announced earlier this year.

  • Hotel Development in NYC
    Hotel Development in NYC Hotel Development in NYC: Winter 2021 Edition All In NYC. Winter 2021 Hotel Update Coming off the strong start to 2020 in January and February, the New York City’s travel and tourism industry slowed in March and came to a near total halt in April. The spread of the Covid19 virus and the necessary restrictions and precautions put in place in response to the pandemic have changed the picture of the industry over the past nine months. The nature of travel shifted from traditional leisure and business to emergency accommodations and local uses. Many of the city’s hotels found ways to support the response to the pandemic and begin to plan for a post-pandemic travel environment. At the same time, a significant proportion of the City’s properties closed temporarily to protect their employees and adjust to reduced demand. Sadly, another group of owners have made the difficult decision to close permanently. At the same time, construction on the majority of new and developing projects resumed as soon as work was permitted. Foundations are being dug, floors are rising, facades are changing the look of neighborhoods and interior work is putting the finishing touches on hundreds of new rooms. Current active inventory has been constantly shifting in response to opportunity and need across the city. According to STR, approximately one-in-three rooms are offline as of December. The hotel pipeline in New York City continues to stand out in the US for diversity of properties and investment. With a range of ground up new buildings, restorations of historic buildings, and expansions, the hotel sector is meeting the diversity of traveler preferences and expectations.

  • Will Hudson Yards Decimate Midtown Manhattan?
    Will Hudson Yards Decimate Midtown Manhattan? BlackRock, KKR, Silver Lake, Boston Consulting Group, and the exodus west from corner offices to the millennial paradise of Hudson Yards. Or at least that’s what they’re hoping to find. See More on Institutional Investor When Jeff Blau, CEO of real estate firm The Related Cos., had dinner in 2015 with his longtime friend Henry Kravis, co-founder of KKR, he wasn’t planning to pitch office space at Hudson Yards, the largest private real estate development in U.S. history. The 73-year-old Kravis is almost as well known for his regal, mahogany-lined offices at 9 West 57th Street — with their unimpeded views across Central Park — as he is for helping to create modern private equity. But Kravis told Blau he wanted to see Hudson Yards, “just as an interested New Yorker.” With an opening from Kravis, Blau rolled out detailed architectural models of the 28-acre project, which Related is developing alongside Oxford Properties. Blau took him for a tour of the work in progress, awing Kravis with the scale of new construction in a neighborhood that financiers had few reasons to even think about before. “When we first started talking to commercial tenants three years ago,” Blau remembers, “they would say, ‘What is this?’ Then they would ask me, ‘Why would I put my company all the way on the west side?’ But 60 percent — 60 percent! — of Manhattan’s buildings are over 50 years old. We’re way behind other global money centers like London and Shanghai.” Blau, 48, took over the private real estate powerhouse from billionaire founder Stephen Ross shortly after Hudson Yards broke ground in 2012.
