Fulton Center Subway Hub Starbucks' Latest Deal in NYC? Across From

Starbucks' Latest Deal in NYC? Across From Fulton Center Subway Hub | Commercial Observer Starbucks’ Latest Deal in NYC? Across From theFulton Center Subway Hub BY LAUREN ELKIES SCHRAM NOV. 24, 2015, 5:45 P.M. 222 BROADWAY (PHOTO: COSTAR). Coffee behemoth Starbucks Coffee has signed a lease for 1,100 square feet on the ground floor at 222 Broadway in Lower Manhattan, Commercial Observer has learned. The building, owned by the property investment arm of Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management and L&L Holding Company, is between Fulton and Ann Streets. L&L’s David Berkey and Andrew Wiener along with Cushman & Wakefield’s Alan Schmerzler and Brad Mendelson negotiated the deal on behalf of the landlord. SCG Retail’s David Firestein represented Starbucks. “Starbucks is the ideal amenity located adjacent to the beautifully renovated office lobby, and we are very pleased to have them in the building,” Mr. Schmerzler emailed CO. “We look forward to further announcements for the remaining space, which benefits from Fulton Street’s inherently strong foot traffic, as well as the huge addition of the Fulton [Center subway hub] directly across the street." The asking rent in the 10-year deal (with options) was $500 per square foot, according to Mr. Schmerzler. The store will open this spring, Mr. Firestein said. The closest Starbucks locations are at Bantam Holdings‘ 130 Fulton Street at Nassau Street and at L&L’s 195 Broadway at the corner of Dey Street, Mr. Firestein noted. According to a source with knowledge of the deal, Starbucks picked 222 Broadway over the transit center because Westfield, which controls the retail at the transit hub, wanted to place Starbucks below grade, which would require swiping your MetroCard to gain access. Dunkin’ Donuts took that space in the end. At street level, Westfield opted to lease space to coffee shop Irving Farm Coffee Roasters, as has been previously reported. The 775,854-square-foot office building, erected in 1961, is home to tenants including WeWork, Condé Nast and retailer Zara..

The New York City Subway
John Stern, a consultant on the faculty of the not-for-profit Aesthetic Realism Foundation in New York City, and a graduate of Columbia University, has had a lifelong interest in architecture, history, geology, cities, and transportation. He was a senior planner for the Tri-State Regional Planning Commission in New York, and is an Honorary Director of the Shore Line Trolley Museum in Connecticut. His extensive photographs of streetcar systems in dozens of American and Canadian cities during the late 1940s, '50s, and '60s comprise a major portion of the Sprague Library's collection. Mr. Stern resides in New York City with his wife, Faith, who is also a consultant of Aesthetic Realism, the education founded by the American poet and critic Eli Siegel (1902-1978). His public talks include seminars on Fiorello LaGuardia and Robert Moses, and "The Brooklyn Bridge: A Study in Greatness," written with consultant and art historian Carrie Wilson, which was presented at the bridge's 120th anniversary celebration in 2003, and the 125th anniversary in 2008. The paper printed here was given at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, 141 Greene Street in NYC on October 23rd and at the Queens Public Library in Flushing in 2006. The New York Subway: A Century By John Stern THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1904 was a gala day in the City of New York. Six hundred guests assembled inside flag-bedecked City Hall listened to speeches extolling the brand-new subway, New York's first. After the last speech, Mayor George B. McClellan spoke, saying, "Now I, as Mayor, in the name of the people, declare the subway open."1 He and other dignitaries proceeded down into City Hall station for the inau- gural ride up the East Side to Grand Central Terminal, then across 42nd Street to Times Square, and up Broadway to West 145th Street: 9 miles in all (shown by the red lines on the map).

Manhattan Retail Market MID-2ND QUARTER 2016 REPORT Retail Activity in the News
Manhattan Retail Market MID-2ND QUARTER 2016 REPORT Retail Activity In The News Virtual Restaurant Business Revolutionizing Traditional Food Delivery The growing convenience of home food delivery through services such as Seamless and GrubHub has prompted the launch of what can be best described as “virtual restaurants.” One company Green Summit Group currently operates 2-kitchens and boasts 8 “restaurant” brands, yet is void of any storefronts. The business model is banking on the projection that most New York City dwellers won’t care or realize that the food is not being prepared in a traditional restaurant. Green Summit has eliminated the burden of managing retail spaces, while also further benef ting from its ability to shift menu items more quickly to cater to the fast-evolving preferences of consumers by creating another online-branded “restaurant” that appeals to the f avor of the moment. If a particular brand does not meet f nancial expectations it is easily scrapped, incurring a relatively low cost of failure. Currently in expansion mode, in addition to existing kitchens in Midtown and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the Green Summit plans to open 4 additional kitchens in the Financial District, Downtown Brooklyn, the Upper East Side, and the East Village in 2016 in order to be within delivery range of 90% of New York’s online food-ordering population according to the company’s projections. Generating about $10 million in revenue in 2015, expansion plans are reportedly expected to triple revenue in 2016. Success of the company launched about 2 and a-half years ago may be short-lived in the opinion of some skeptics of the virtual model, pointing out that consumers want to engage with the restaurant brand.

New York City's MTA Exposed!
New York City's MTA Exposed! Joseph Battaglia [email protected] http://www.sephail.net Originally appearing in 2600 Magazine, Spring 2005 Introduction In this article, I will explain many of the inner workings of the New York City Transit Authority fare collection system and expose the content of MetroCards. I will start off with a description of the various devices of the fare collection system, proceeding into the details of how to decode the MetroCard©s magnetic stripe. This article is the result of many hours of experimentation, plenty of cash spent on MetroCards (you©re welcome, MTA), and lots of help from several people. I©d like to thank everyone at 2600, Off The Hook, and all those who have mailed in cards and various other information. Becoming familiar with how magnetic stripe technology works will help you understand much of what is discussed in the sections describing how to decode MetroCards. More information on this, including additional recommended reading, can be found in ªMagnetic Stripe Readingº also in this issue. Terms These terms will be used throughout the article: FSK - Frequency Shift Keying A type of frequency modulation in which the signal©s frequency is shifted between two discrete values. MVM - MetroCard Vending Machine MVMs can be found in every subway station. They are the large vending machines which accept cash in addition to credit and debit. MEM - MetroCard Express Machine MEMs are vending machines that accept only credit and debit. They are often located beside a batch of MVMs. MTA - Metropolitan Transportation Authority A public benefit corporation of the State of New York responsible for implementing a unified mass transportation policy for NYC and counties within the "Transportation District".

• the Activation of OMNY Readers at the Queensboro Plaza Station in Queens Marks the Completion of the Line and the Halfway Po
The activation of OMNY readers at the Queensboro Plaza station in Queens marks the completion of the line and the halfway point in the MTA's effort to activate OMNY at all 472 subway stations in the system. OMNY installation remains set to be completed by the end of the year at all subway stations and on all MTA-operated buses. A list of all subway stations and bus routes where OMNY is currently in use is at this link: https://omny.info/system-rollout In March, the MTA announced OMNY had surpassed 10 million taps. In 2021, the MTA will introduce an OMNY card at retail locations throughout the New York region. Also in 2021, the MTA will begin to install new vending machines at locations throughout the system. OMNY readers accept contactless cards from companies such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as digital wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Fitbit Pay. Following the completion of OMNY installation at all subway turnstiles and on buses, the MTA will introduce all remaining fare options, including unlimited ride passes, reduced fares, student fares, and more. Only after OMNY is fully available everywhere MetroCard is today, expected in 2023, will the MTA say goodbye to the MetroCard. The MetroCard was first tested in the system in 1993, debuting to the larger public in January 1994. All turnstiles were MetroCard-enabled by May 1997 and all buses began accepting it by the end of 1995. Tokens were sold until April 2003 and acceptance was discontinued that May in subway stations and that December on buses.

The Fulton Center: New York City, NY, USA Authors Design of the Cable Net Zak Kostura Erin Morrow Ben Urick
Location The Fulton Center: New York City, NY, USA Authors design of the cable net Zak Kostura Erin Morrow Ben Urick Introduction At the corner of Fulton Street and Broadway, one block east of the World Trade Center site and two blocks south of City Hall Park, 11 New York City subway lines converge in a hub serving over 300 000 transit riders daily. With their dense tangle, these lines have evaded efficient connection for nearly a century, a legacy of disparate planning and construction practices common to the era of competitive, privatised transit operation — and despite being unified under a single state agency in 1968. In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) enacted plans to redevelop this hub into an efficient transfer point, replacing the labyrinth of corridors, retroactively constructed to link existing lines, with an efficient system of pedestrian mezzanines, concourses and underpasses, complete with elevators and escalators to comply with the provisions of the Americans With Disability Act (Fig 2). And at the corner of Broadway and Fulton, the MTA planned a spacious 1.
