  • Pepsi-Cola Buildnig
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 20, 1995 ; Designation List 265 LP-1920 (Former) PEPSI-COLA BUILDING (now ABN-Amro Bank Building), 500 Park Avenue, a/k/a 62 East 59th Street, Manhattan. Built 1958-60. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, architects; Gordon Bunshaft, design partner; Natalie de Blois, senior designer for project. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1294, Lot 37. On June 15, 1993, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the (former) Pepsi-Cola Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 16). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three witnesses, including a representative of the Municipal Art Society, spoke in favor of designation and no witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. A representative of the owner expressed uncertainty about the proposed designation, but subsequently communicated support for it. The Commission subsequently received two written submissions in favor of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary Located on a prominent comer site along Park Avenue , a thoroughfare associated since the 1950s with sleek, understated modem monuments to corporate America, the Pepsi-Cola Building is one of New York's seminal International Style landmarks. Its superb design, innovative technology, and production as a collaborative effort are all qualities for which the firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill was already famous: design partner Gordon Bunshaft guided the firm's New York office, and Natalie de Blois, among the very few women architects at that time, was the senior designer for the project. Throughout its existence, the building has been praised by architectural critics for its clever siting and gemlike treatment, and especially for its sophisticated curtain wall, a nearly smooth skin of gray-green glass and aluminum spandrels.

  • 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.

  • Four Strategies for Additions to Historic Settings “DIFFERENTIATED” and “COMPATIBLE”: FOUR STRATEGIES for ADDITIONS to HISTORIC SETTINGS by Steven W
    Excerpt taken from “Sense of Place: Design Guidelines for New Construction in Historic Districts” a publication of the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia and supported by a grant from the William Penn Foundation Part One: Differientated and Compatiable: Four Strategies for Additions to Historic Settings “DIFFERENTIATED” AND “COMPATIBLE”: FOUR STRATEGIES FOR ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC SETTINGS By Steven W. Semes In the postwar period, an important issue for preservation has been defining how new construction might appropriately support and enhance, rather than detract from, historic buildings and districts under regulatory protection. So long as new additions or infill buildings were likely to be designed in the same styles as their historic neighbors, “fitting in” was rarely an issue. But since the ascendancy of modernist architecture in the United States in the 1950s—a style which defined itself in terms of opposition to traditional styles and assumptions about design— an important part of the preservationist’s mission has been to tame the ambitions of modernist architects and their penchant for setting off historic structures with contrasting new ones. At the same time, many preservationists either acquiesced in or actively embraced modernist aesthetics for new buildings, especially as a means of distinguishing new and old construction, which has been a preservation goal since John Ruskin called for it in the nineteenth century. Not surprisingly, much attention has been focused on the question of how we ought to manage the relationships

    Housing Polish Greenpoint: Property and Power in a Gentrifying Brooklyn Neighborhood By Filip Akira Stabrowski A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY Committee in charge: Professor Richard Walker, Chair Professor Michael Johns Professor Alexei Yurchak Fall 2011 Abstract Housing Polish Greenpoint: Property and Power in a Gentrifying Brooklyn Neighborhood By Filip Akira Stabrowski Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Walker, Chair This dissertation will examine the rise and fall of the Polish immigrant enclave of Greenpoint over the past 30 years (1980 to 2010), focusing on the changing social relations of housing within the Polish immigrant community during this time. Greenpoint today stands at the cusp of disintegration as classic immigrant enclave, with property values and residential and commercial rent levels that prohibit new immigrants from settling, while forcing out many of the old immigrants who did so years ago. The political economy of immigrant housing in Greenpoint, I will argue, was both creator and destroyer of the Polish enclave – engine of its growth and barrier to its further expansion. A central argument of this dissertation is that the housing market is a social construct, embedded within and conditioned by social relations specific to a particular place and time. Though socially-embedded, however, the immigrant housing market is never fully divorced from the wider urban housing market; it is in fact structured by this impersonal market and its imperative to realize profit. There is an ongoing tension or dialectic between two forms of housing relations –one subordinated to the social utility of housing, another driven by the profit motive – that is manifest within any socio-spatial formation.

  • New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (1962-1999): Paradigm for Changing Attitudes Towards Historic Preservation
    New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (1962-1999): Paradigm for Changing Attitudes Towards Historic Preservation By Marjorie Pearson, Ph.D. Samuel H. K ress Mid-Career G rant Study Funded by The James Marston Fitch Charitable Foundation 2010 Contents Introduction 1 Chapter 1 Landmark Beginnings: The Advisory Commission (1962-1965) 5 Chapter 2 The Commission Established (1965-1973) 28 Chapter 3 Expanding a Mission and a Mandate (1974-1983) 55 Chapter 4 The Commission Under Siege (1983-1990) 91 Chapter 5 The Commission Comes of Age: Growth and Maturity (1990-1990) 110 Epilogue 129 Acknowledgments 135 IN T R O DU C T I O N Historic preservation as an officially mandated government program has been existence for almost fifty years in New York City, but the history of the movement, both before and after the ratification and implementation of the Landmarks law, has been largely undocumented until relatively recently. Giving Preservation a History: Histories of Historic Preservation in the United States and Preserving New York: Winning the Right to Protect a City’s Landmarks are part of an effort to rectify that situation.1 This work, told partly from my personal perspective, covers part of the story told by Anthony C. Wood and carries it forward to the end of the twentieth century. It describes and analyzes the history of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission while setting it within a larger national context. New York had been preceded by several other American cities, including Charleston, South Carolina, New Orleans, and Boston, in the establishment of a local preservation law and an accompanying oversight body, but still it had few models to emulate.
