Schrager and his late business partner, Steve Rubell, created the legendary Studio 54 and Palladium nightclubs and soon turned their attention to the hotel business, opening Morgans Hotel in 1984 and introducing the concept of the boutique hotel to the world. Following this were the equally well received and highly successful Royalton Hotel and Paramount Hotel, the Delano Hotel in Miami, Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood and the Hudson Hotel in New York. Schrager has expanded to cities such as San Francisco with the Clift Hotel and London with St. Martins Lane Hotel and the Sanderson Hotel. He is currently working on two new hotel brands.

  • One West End, 432 Park Avenue, and One57 Are the Top-Selling Condo Buildings in New York City So Far This Year, According to Research from Cityrealty
    By CityRealty Staff Friday, July 13, 2018 L to R: One West End, 432 Park Avenue, One57 One West End, 432 Park Avenue, and One57 are the top-selling condo buildings in New York City so far this year, according to research from CityRealty. Closings in the three buildings together have accounted for more than half a billion dollars in sales. Recorded sales in One West End so far this year have totaled $207 million over 57 units. The average sales price in the building this year is $3.6 million, and the average price/ft2 is $2,064. The Elad Group and Silverstein Properties-developed building, where closings started last year, is approaching sell-out status, with 193 of the 246 units having closed already, including one four-bedroom now belonging to Bruce Willis and his wife Emma Heming Willis. // One West End interiors (DBOX / Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects) https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/market-insight/features/get-to-know/2018039s-top-selling-condos-so-far-one-west- end-beats-432-park-avenue/19263 Even though there have only been 8 closings recorded so far this year in 432 Park Avenue, the world's tallest residential building is the second-highest selling building of 2018 so far, with $185 million in sales. The average price of the closed sales in 432 Park this year is $23.1 million, while the average price/ft2 is $6,509.

  • 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.

  • CORNELL CLUB, NYC By
    GREAT HANGER STEAK AND GREAT HANGERS TOO THE CORNELL CLUB, NYC by Lew Toulmin SUMMARY We stayed at the Cornell Club of New York for four nights in early August 2010. The Club is about 200 yards west of Grand Central Station in a very good location. The public rooms are relatively modest but the bedrooms are excellent and more reasonably priced than most NYC reciprocal clubs. Rates for a twin room were $220 per night in the low summer season (a negotiated rate), including breakfast, rising to $302 in the fall. CLUB HISTORY AND FACILITIES The Club was founded in 1889 and rented rooms at the Royalton Hotel for a time. Subsequently the Club moved five times around Manhattan, arriving at the current location in 1985. A three year renovation of the existing building was required. The Club is in a 14 storey building at 6 East 44th Street, about a short block west of Grand Central Station, between Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue. (Unfortunately, this station does not offer train service to and from Washington, DC. The Station is a landmark in itself, with a fruit, veg and meat market, restaurants, shops, great architecture, regular tours and access to the subway.) The Club library is very modest, consisting of a couple of walls of books. There are five function rooms, with square footage totaling 3500 square feet. These rooms are all right but not gorgeous, and in fact the bedrooms are definitely nicer than the public rooms, the reverse of the usual club situation. Other Club facilities include a moderate sized gym, about 50 x 50 feet with free weights, stationery bicycles, exercise balls and treadmills.

  • We Went to the Top of New York's Latest Skyscraper to Find out How It's Being Built
    We went to the top of New York's latest skyscraper to find out how it's being built William Fierman and Hollis Johnson June 3, 2016 The view from the unfinished south face of 45 E. 22nd St., now the tallest building between Midtown and the Financial District. Bruce Eichner very much enjoys showing off his latest building. We're in rarefied air, 777 feet above Manhattan's Beaux-Arts Flatiron District — well higher than the golden tops of the Metropolitan Life Tower and New York Life Building a few blocks north. "We're actually looking down on Rupert Murdoch's three floors at the top of that tower there," said Eichner, founder of the real estate development firm The Continuum Company, with a rather professional smile. He's pointing down to the top of One Madison, which, until about a month ago, owned the airspace above Madison Square Park. No more. All photos by Hollis Johnson unless noted. The building as seen from the corner of Park Avenue and 22nd Street. In his late 60s, Eichner is a thin man in a pinstripe suit, round tortoise shell glasses, and a local's accent. His company is already responsible for several New York skyscrapers, two condominium towers in Miami, and a casino in Las Vegas. He likes to share the big numbers surrounding his newest project, throwing around phrases like "five hundred thousand tons of rebar," or "two thousand yards of concrete," or "a one-million-pound tuned-mass damper" at an unsuspecting reporter. He takes great joy in watching me copy them down.

  • Manhattan Hotel Market Overview 1
    Manhattan Hotel Market Overview HVS Global Hospitality Services, in cooperation with New York University’s Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, is pleased to present the eleventh annual Manhattan Hotel Market Overview. Stephen Rushmore President & Founder, HVS Global Hospitality Services In 2007, Manhattan was once again the Number One U.S. lodging market in terms of RevPAR performance. For the fourth consecutive year, RevPAR recorded double-digit growth in 2007, climbing 14.3%, indicative of the continued strength of the Manhattan lodging market. At roundly 87%, occupancy reached its highest level since 1987. This high occupancy also suggests a significant amount of unaccommodated demand in Manhattan, which is expected to be accommodated by the vast number of new hotels proposed for the city in the next three to four years. Considering the current climate, HVS forecasts a soft landing for the Manhattan market, with minor declines in occupancy and softer average rate growth in the near term. In 2007, the volume of hotel sales in Manhattan soared to over $2.0 billion, excluding the sale of the Hilton New York and the Waldorf=Astoria as part of the Hilton acquisition by Blackstone. This volume was driven by the emergence of overseas players such as Istithmar Hotels, which set a new record through the transfer of interest in the Mandarin Oriental for roundly $1.4 million per key in February 2007. Overall, we anticipate that overseas hotel companies will capitalize on the weak dollar to further establish or expand their presence in the U.S., causing hotel values to remain strong.
