History of Construction The Chrysler Building had its beginnings in an office building project for William H. Reynolds, a real-estate developer and promoter and former New York State senator. Reynolds had acquired a long-term lease in 1921 on a parcel of property at Lexington Avenue and 42nd Street owned by the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art.
  • True to the City's Teeming Nature, a New Breed of Multi-Family High Rises

    True to the City's Teeming Nature, a New Breed of Multi-Family High Rises

    BY MEI ANNE FOO MAY 14, 2016 True to the city’s teeming nature, a new breed of multi-family high rises is fast cropping up around New York – changing the face of this famous urban jungle forever. New York will always be known as the land of many towers. From early iconic Art Deco splendours such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, to the newest symbol of resilience found in the One World Trade Center, there is no other city that can top the Big Apple’s supreme skyline. Except itself. Tall projects have been proposed and built in sizeable numbers over recent years. The unprecedented boom has been mostly marked by a rise in tall luxury residential constructions, where prior to the completion of One57 in 2014, there were less than a handful of super-tall skyscrapers in New York. Now, there are four being developed along the same street as One57 alone. Billionaire.com picks the city’s most outstanding multi-family high rises on the concrete horizon. 111 Murray Street This luxury residential tower developed by Fisher Brothers and Witkoff will soon soar some 800ft above Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood. Renderings of the condominium showcase a curved rectangular silhouette that looks almost round, slightly unfolding at the highest floors like a flared glass. The modern design is from Kohn Pedersen Fox. An A-team of visionaries has also been roped in for the project, including David Mann for it residence interiors; David Rockwell for amenities and public spaces and Edmund Hollander for landscape architecture.

Love it or hate it, the skyscraper symbolized the go-go and up-up drive that “America” meant to itself and much of the world. A sampling of twenties illustration and commentary on the architectural phenomenon that still captures the American imagination is presented here.

Duffus was a novelist, literary critic, and essayist with New York newspapers. “The Vertical City” The New Republic One of the intangible satisfactions which a New Yorker receives as a reward July 3, 1929 for living in a most uncomfortable city arises from the monumental character of his artificial scenery. Skyscrapers are undoubtedly popular with the man of the street. He watches them with tender, if somewhat fearsome, interest from the moment the hole is dug until the last Gothic waterspout is put in place. Perhaps the nearest a New Yorker ever comes to civic pride is when he contemplates the skyline and realizes that there is and has been nothing to match it in the world.

This trend appeared on the construction market along with the progress of advanced struc- tural solutions and the high demand for luxury apartments with spectacular views. Two types of constructions can be distinguished within this typology: ultra-luxury super-slim towers with the exclusivity of one or two apartments per floor (e.g. located in Manhattan, New York) and other slender high-rise towers, built in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Melbourne, among others, which have multiple apartments on each floor. This paper presents a survey of selected slender high-rise buildings, where structural improvements in tall buildings developed over the recent decade are considered from the architectural and structural view.

    NYC Luxury Tower One57 Has Big Quarter Thanks to Condo Discounts By Oshrat Carmiel April 30, 2018, 2:09 PM EDT Price breaks ‘convince people it’s time to buy,’ Barnett says With others discounting, it’s a new day on Billionaires’ Row One57, the Midtown skyscraper that has symbolized both Manhattan’s luxury condo boom and its slowdown, just had its best sales quarter in more than a year. The secret: a good bargain. One57’s 41st floor duplex Photographer: Jeenah Moon/Bloomberg Four years after completing the 90-story tower -- and setting a New York City recordwith a $100.5 million condo deal -- Extell Development Co. is still working to sell it out. In the first three months of the year, the firm sold five apartments totaling $73 million, according to a filing on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, where Extell sells debt. It was the firm’s best quarter at One57, by both unit sales and value, since the end of 2016, according to an analysis of filings and data from StreetEasy. “They were all discounted,” Extell President Gary Barnett said in an interview. “That definitely has something to do with convincing people that it’s time to buy and that they’re getting a good value.” With a wave of new luxury apartments still washing over Manhattan, including projects by Extell and others going up on the same block as One57, the developer is committing to the surest strategy to clean the slate. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-30/extell-uses-art-of-the-discount-to-ring-up-big-quarter-at-one57 Across the borough, luxury homes that went into contract in the first quarter had their asking prices cut by an average of 10 percent, the most since 2012, according to a report last month from Olshan Realty Inc., which counts units priced at $4 million and above.

    Condos for New on Billionaires'

    September 5, 2019 https://therealdeal.com/2019/09/05/serial-buyers-trade-old-condos-for-new-on-billionaires-row/ Serial buyers trade “old” condos for new on Billionaires’ Row Sting, Daniel Och and Bob Diamond are just a few who’ve left 15 CPW for “newer” condos By E.B. Solomont For many, a move coincides with a huge life event — relocating when a marriage begins or ends, upsizing to make room for a new baby or downsizing when kids move out. But for an uber-rich set of buyers in Manhattan, it comes down to shininess. Over the past few months, serial buyers with deep pockets have swapped “older” condos for new ones. They’ve traded Central Park West for Park Avenue; limestone for a glass curtain wall; Christian de Portzamparc for Robert A.M. Stern. Take Sting and his wife, Trudie, who paid $65.7 million for a penthouse at 220 Central Park South after unloading their pad at 15 Central Park West for a cool $50 million. The couple paid $26.5 million at 15 CPW in 2008, records show. Or the rocker’s neighbor, Daniel Och, who is reportedly among the buyers at 220 CPS and recently listed his penthouse at 15 CPW for $57.5 million. Real estate developers are doing it, too. This summer, Related Companies boss Stephen Ross listed his Time Warner Center penthouse — which he received as a “distribution” — for $75 million. Now, Ross is moving west, to his company’s Hudson Yards megadevelopment. “There’s a certain personality that wants the new ‘It,’ whether it’s a handbag, car, vacation spot or home,” said Douglas Elliman’s Noble Black.

    The Cityrealty 100 Report 2020

    THE CITYREALTY 100 REPORT 2020 DECEMBER 2020 THE CityRealty is the website for NYC real estate, providing high-quality listings and tailored agent matching for pro- spective apartment buyers, as well as in-depth analysis of the New York real estate market. 1100 THE CITYREALTY 100 REPORT 2020 About The CityRealty 100 The CityRealty 100 is an index comprising the top 100 condominium buildings in Manhattan. Several factors—including a building’s sales history, prominence, and CityRealty’s rating for the property—are used to determine which buildings are included in the index. This report tracks the performance of those buildings for the one-year period ending September 30, 2020. CityRealty releases regular reports on the CityRealty 100 to track the change in prices of the top 100 Manhattan condo buildings. After falling in 2018 from all-time highs achieved in 2016 and 2017, the index’s average price / foot and total sales volumes were roughly flat in 2020 as compared to 2019, with the average price per square foot increasing 2% to $2,649. For the 12 months ending Sep 30, there were 846 sales which accounted for $4.94B in sales volume. Manhattan real estate, as viewed through the lens of this report, focuses on the city's top tier of buildings, which are seen as a relatively stable and good investment. The stagnation in prices and volume, especially in buildings not new to the market, reflects a market that has been saturated with high-end product, and prices in the 3rd quarter of 2020 reflect an overall downward trend.
