Early last century, industrial piers stretched up the Hudson River from the Battery to the Upper West Side. Most respectable New Yorkers shied away from the working waterfront and therefore lived toward the middle of the island. But in today’s postindustrial Manhattan, the West Side is a highly desirable—and expensive— place, home to residential developments catering to the well-to-do who want to live close to the waterfront and its now recreational piers.

  • Proptech 3.0: the Future of Real Estate
    University of Oxford Research PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE WWW.SBS.OXFORD.EDU PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate Right now, thousands of extremely clever people backed by billions of dollars of often expert investment are working very hard to change the way real estate is traded, used and operated. It would be surprising, to say the least, if this burst of activity – let’s call it PropTech 2.0 - does not lead to some significant change. No doubt many PropTech firms will fail and a lot of money will be lost, but there will be some very successful survivors who will in time have a radical impact on what has been a slow-moving, conservative industry. How, and where, will this happen? Underlying this huge capitalist and social endeavour is a clash of generations. Many of the startups are driven by, and aimed at, millennials, but they often look to babyboomers for money - and sometimes for advice. PropTech 2.0 is also engineering a much-needed boost to property market diversity. Unlike many traditional real estate businesses, PropTech is attracting a diversified pool of talent that has a strong female component, representation from different regions of the world and entrepreneurs from a highly diverse career and education background. Given the difference in background between the establishment and the drivers of the PropTech wave, it is not surprising that there is some disagreement about the level of disruption that PropTech 2.0 will create.

  • N 190230 Zry-Voids Text Amendment
    CITY PLANNING COMMISSION April 10, 2019, Calendar No. 11 N 190230 ZRY IN THE MATTER OF an application submitted by the Department of City Planning pursuant to Section 201 of the New York City Charter for an amendment of Article II, Chapter 3 and related provisions of the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York, modifying residential tower regulations to require certain mechanical spaces to be calculated as residential floor area. _____________________________________________________________________________ This application (N 190230 ZRY) for a zoning text amendment was filed by the Department of City Planning (DCP) on January 25, 2019 to discourage the use of excessively tall mechanical floors in high-density residential tower districts. The proposal would require that mechanical floors, typically excluded from zoning floor area calculations, would be counted toward the overall permitted floor area on the zoning lot if they are taller than new specified limits or overly concentrated in portions of the building. The proposed floor area requirements would apply to residential towers in non-contextual R9 and R10 Residence Districts and their equivalent Commercial Districts, as well as Special Purpose Districts that rely on underlying floor area and height and setback regulations or that are primarily residential in character. The provision would also apply to non-residential portions of a mixed-use building if the building contains a limited amount of non-residential floor area. BACKGROUND The New York City Zoning Resolution allows floor space containing mechanical equipment to be excluded from zoning floor area calculations, reflecting the recognition that these spaces perform important and necessary functions within buildings.

Timmy's down the bloody well, and if you make me miss it I'll — Giles: Do what? Lick me to death? (Something Blue, 4009) Joyce: I-I love what you've, um... neglected to do with the place. Spike: Just don't break anything. And don't make a lotta noise. Passions is coming on. Joyce: Passions? Oh, do you think Timmy's really dead? Spike: Oh, no, no. She can just sew him back together. He's a doll, for God's sake. Joyce: Ah, what about the wedding? I mean, there's no way they're gonna go through with that. (Checkpoint, 5012) Tabitha (talking to Timmy): When will you get it through your fat head? Charity is the enemy. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the enemy. The busybodies that call themselves the Others are the enemy! One of these days Buffy and the others will be wiped off the face of the earth, but until that time, we don’t want to make our friend in the basement mad, do we? (Passions) Stephen/Caleb: And your job is? Rafe: Vampire slayer. (Port Charles – Naked Eyes) BUFFY AS A SOAP (1) Very often, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is referred to as a soap opera. There are many occasions when it has been defined as such, or at least linked to the genre of daytime dramas. This perception is shared by at least three types of viewers.
