  • Chinese Buyers Trickle Into NYC
    Chinese buyers trickle into NYC Now added to the long list of exports from China are buyers of New York City real estate. Chinese residents flush with cash from the Asian nation's booming economy, and in some cases limited in what they can buy at home, are starting to look at Manhattan apartments. Between March 2010 and March 2011, 9 percent of foreign buyers in the U.S. were from China, according to the National Association of Realtors, up from 5 percent in 2007. Canada sends the U.S. the most foreign buyers, with 23 percent, but China is number two, the data shows. In contrast, England, Mexico and India, next on the list, each represent 7 percent. And many of those Chinese buyers are trickling into New York, say brokers, who are creating customized services to greet them. "They come, they look, they find, they sign, they go," said Asher Alcobi, president of Peter Ashe Real Estate, a firm that is representing about a half-dozen Chinese buyers, up from two of them five years ago. And that uptick has largely happened this year, after the Chinese government issued restrictions about buying vacation homes in that country, Alcobi said. But there may be simpler drivers, too. A Chinese couple recently bought a condo in Trump Soho New York -- a high-rise from a developer whose brand is well-liked in many parts of Asia, Alcobi explained -- because they wanted to be close to their son, who is a sophomore at Boston University. The unit, which will be used for two-week stays, cost about $1 million, he added.

    Vol. 32, No. 6 First Class U.S. Postage Paid — Permit No. 4119, New York, N.Y. 10007 June 2002 NYCHA RESIDENTS HEAD TO WASHINGTON, D.C. HUD’S Budget For Fiscal Year 2003 At Issue By Eileen Elliott n May 22, 2002, over 800 New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) residents boarded 21 bus- es and headed to Washington, D.C. to rally against the proposed $417 million cut in the U.S. De- Opartment of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) Capital Funding Program for Fiscal Year 2003. They were joined by some 200 residents from public housing authorities in Buffalo, New York, Bal- timore, Maryland, Cleveland, Ohio, Georgetown, South Carolina, and Puerto Rico. Because there was no room large enough to accommodate them at the Capitol, the group converged at the nearby Hyatt Regency Hotel. There, in the words of Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) Executive Director Su- nia Zaterman, who also attended, they raised their voices, “loud, insistently, again and again.” As the residents found their York City Congressional delega- would be a reduction of $63 mil- seats in Ballroom A of the Hyatt, tion, and to 35 housing authorities lion from the Fiscal Year 2002 al- more often than not, they seemed around the country to rally their location of $402.4 million. unable to resist the urge to tap the support.

  • 'Little Terrors'
    Don DeLillo’s Promiscuous Fictions: The Adulterous Triangle of Sex, Space, and Language Diana Marie Jenkins A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of English University of NSW, December 2005 This thesis is dedicated to the loving memory of a wonderful grandfather, and a beautiful niece. I wish they were here to see me finish what both saw me start. Contents Acknowledgements 1 Introduction 2 Chapter One 26 The Space of the Hotel/Motel Room Chapter Two 81 Described Space and Sexual Transgression Chapter Three 124 The Reciprocal Space of the Journey and the Image Chapter Four 171 The Space of the Secret Conclusion 232 Reference List 238 Abstract This thesis takes up J. G. Ballard’s contention, that ‘the act of intercourse is now always a model for something else,’ to show that Don DeLillo uses a particular sexual, cultural economy of adultery, understood in its many loaded cultural and literary contexts, as a model for semantic reproduction. I contend that DeLillo’s fiction evinces a promiscuous model of language that structurally reflects the myth of the adulterous triangle. The thesis makes a significant intervention into DeLillo scholarship by challenging Paul Maltby’s suggestion that DeLillo’s linguistic model is Romantic and pure. My analysis of the narrative operations of adultery in his work reveals the alternative promiscuous model. I discuss ten DeLillo novels and one play – Americana, Players, The Names, White Noise, Libra, Mao II, Underworld, the play Valparaiso, The Body Artist, Cosmopolis, and the pseudonymous Amazons – that feature adultery narratives.

  • 2014 Food Metrics Report Letter from the Director of Food Policy
    New York City Food Policy: 2014 Food Metrics Report Letter from the Director of Food Policy Dear New Yorkers: Welcome to the Food Metrics Report for 2014. The New York City Council established reporting requirements for a variety of city agency initiatives related to food (Local Law 52 of 2011). The Food Metrics Report provides a snapshot of data from those programs in 2014 as well as trends over the past three years. These metrics are a useful accounting of work that city agencies are doing to address a number of needs still present in the city’s food system. The City has made great progress over the past few years. More older adults who are eligible for nutrition assistance are getting that support. There are more gardens in schools and communities. There are also new supermarkets in underserved neighborhoods and more bodegas offering healthy food options. But there is much more to be done. The mission of the Office of the Food Policy Director is to advance the City’s efforts to increase food security, promote access to and awareness of healthy foods, and support economic justice and opportunity in the 2 food system. We do this by coordinating and advancing a wide range of initiatives, led by city agencies, that work to strengthen the food system at all levels, from administering SNAP benefits, to supporting workers in food manufacturing, to serving meals to over a million students in the New York City school system every day. We work in partnership with advocates and non-profit organizations, relying on their expertise in working directly with communities to elevate the voice of New Yorkers in the policy-making process.

  • CITYREALTY NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT MANHATTAN NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT May 2015 Summary
    MAY 2015 MANHATTAN NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT CITYREALTY NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT MANHATTAN NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT May 2015 Summary Apartment prices in new development condominiums in Manhattan have increased at a fast clip, a trend boosted by the upper end of the market. Sales of new condominium units included in this report are expected to aggregate between $27.6 and $33.6 billion in sales through 2019. The average price of these new development units is expected to reach a record of $5.9 million per unit in 2015. At the same time, far fewer units are being built than during the last development boom, in the mid-2000s, therefore the number of closed sales is expected to increase more modestly than their prices. 2013 2014 2015-2019* TOTAL NEW DEVELOPMENT SALES $2.7B $4.1B $27.6B-$33.6B+ Pricing information for the 4,881 new development units covered in this report comes from active and in-contract listings, offering plans, and projections based on listing prices. For a complete list of buildings included in this report, see pages 5-6 (New Developments by Building Detail). Ultimately, sales of these apartments will total roughly $27.6 to $33.6 billion through 2019. Sales in new developments totaled $4.1 billion in 2014, up 50 percent from 2013. The 2013 total, $2.7 billion, also represented a significant increase from the $1.9 billion recorded in 2012. While total sales volume has increased in recent years, it is still substantially less than at the height of the market, in 2008, when new development sales totaled $10.4 billion.

  • 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.

  • TRIBECA – LOWER MANHATTAN’S TRIANGLE of HISTORY, CHARM and LUXURY LIVING Posted by Admin on Tuesday, February 22, 2011
    Written for a client’s website/blog TRIBECA – LOWER MANHATTAN’S TRIANGLE OF HISTORY, CHARM AND LUXURY LIVING Posted by admin on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 TriBeCa / Flickr @ Mike Fleming Tribeca is Soho’s neighbor to the south and named for the space it occupies; a triangular area that’s bounded by Canal and Broadway over to the Hudson River and West Street and down to Vesey Street called the “Triangle Below Canal.” In 2006, Forbes magazine rated its zip code, 10013, as one of most expensive zip codes in the nation. Huge lofts, high-rises and townhomes are interspersed throughout its cobble-stoned streets and there’s plenty of green that decorates this section of the Big Apple. It began as a thriving commercial district in the 19th century where merchants developed expansive warehouse spaces, many of which have been converted into mult- million dollar residences. Similar to neighboring Soho, Tribeca attracted creative souls; celebrities, artists, and writers, and still does, but many business professionals are drawn to its quiet, safe streets close to first-class restaurants and New York attractions such as Times Square. There’s the Tribeca Grand Hotel and Soho Grand that attract visitors from all over the world who want to enjoy the charm of Tribeca and have close proximity to downtown, Chinatown and Wall Street. Its home to the annual Tribeca Film Festival founded in 2002 by Robert DeNiro and others after the 9/11 attacks. It’s purpose, to showcase New York City as a contributor to and center of filmmaking, also sparked revitalization of the area.
