    a 72 Mercer St, PENTHOUSE W SOHO WWW.THELEONARDSTEINBERGTEAM.COM NEW: TROPHY FIFTH AVENUE DUPLEX LUXURYLETTER APRIL 2018 Irrational Luxuberance There is really no great explanation why the wealthiest people in the world - much wealthier now than at any other time in history - are not buying more luxury real estate than ever before. Interest rates, while rising, are low, many prices are down off their (asking) highs, sellers are more inclined to negotiate on price and there are more options to choose from……although in some areas there are shortages. But yes, there are some reasons to explain why the luxury market is not faring as well as it ought to be: • Pricing escalated too far too fast. Buyer fatigue caused markets to pause and when they did, some sellers blinked causing more downward price adjustments. • Sellers were spoiled by the speed of sales: now that has normalized, yet it still feels very slow compared to the Studio-54-style pace of 2014-2016. • Most buyers between 2012 and 2015 saw an almost certain upside in buying…..these same people don’t want to take a loss buying now in case they can buy later for less. • Many buyers between 2010 and 2015 were buying purely for investment purposes: who wants to buy an investment apartment in a market where there are many price drops? Which investor likes buying in a market where rental returns are a bit depressed, especially if they can wait? The few smart, non-herd-mentality investors though are buying now because they have better choices and can negotiate.

    The New York real estate mogul is building his legacy THE and doesn’t care what anyone has RISE, to say about it. FALL, AND RISE OF 73 BYABY MICHAEL GROSS ROSEN SCREEN PRINT BY CHAD SILVER It’s October and the chairman of one of New York’s top real estate brokerages has slipped out of a cock- tail party at the Four Seasons, the Philip Johnson–designed restaurant in Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Seagram Building, in Midtown Manhattan, to study the travertine-marble wall of what was long called Picasso Alley, connecting its two dining rooms. “But there’s no damage,” she says quizzically, after looking closely at a surface that, last year, was said to be threatened by leaks from the kitchen behind it. There’s more than damage missing from this wall. Also absent is Pablo Picasso, or rather, Le Tricorne, the huge stage curtain he painted in 1919. It hung there from 1959 until 2014, when the building’s owner insisted on removing it, alleging those leaks required immediate repairs. More than a year later, no repairs have been done. But the Four Seasons has been damaged. The owners of the fabled restau- rant will leave next year, and what had been their space—a landmark within a landmark—will be re- furbished. They’ll then be replaced by trendy downtown New York restaurateurs. The Four Seasons name will go elsewhere, too, but its clientele—one of the greatest concentrations of plutocrats and power brokers anywhere—will likely scatter to the four winds.

    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.

  • Luxuryletter November UPDATED LAYOUT
    a 72 Mercer St, PENTHOUSE W SOHO WWW.THELEONARDSTEINBERGTEAM.COM LUXURYLETTER NOVEMBER 2016 NEW: CHELSEA LOFT SUPREME New York Market Fall Awakening The past several months have been rife with fear and hesitation in the New York real estate markets. These were some of the major contributing factors: 1. The unprecedented US Presidential Election caused many to wonder what exact impact a Trump Presidency would have on the markets. A Clinton Presidency suggested a “more-of-the-same-market” although raising taxes on the wealthy could cause downward pricing pressure. Then again, there is a Congress and Senate…. 2. BREXIT may have veiled the root cause of the UK’s dramatic real estate activity plunge, down over 80% from the previous year. BREXIT highlighted the fears of isolationism, yet we believe its the raised fees and taxes that are the primary cause. 3. The fear of rising interest rates have caused some to believe real estate prices will drop. This remains to be seen: higher interest rates can indicate a strengthening economy. 4. All the above factors combined with a much stronger dollar minimized urgency: that extra group of all-cash foreign buyers the markets loved so dearly between 2010 and 2015 are highly diminished, although the Chinese buyers are still out in full force. 5. The volume of construction of high-priced properties may slow now that construction financing has become very scarce. 14 EAST 11TH STREET TROPHY LOWER FIFTH GREENWICH VILLAGE TOWNHOUSE NEW! 18 WEST 75TH ST FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT PLEASE CALL 646.780.7594 Selldorf Architects Bowery/Noho/Village 347 BOWERY OVER 40% IN CONTRACT PRICING STARTS AT $7.500,000 The 13-story tower will consist of four duplex stacked town homes, and one triplex penthouse With nearly 20 foot ceilings, each residence will feature a handcrafted staircase made of plaster and white oak.

  • Manhattan Office Market
    Manhattan Offi ce Market 2 ND QUARTER 2015 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 1001 Avenue of the Americas Looking Ahead Partnership for New York City: New York’s Future as the World Financial Capital The report released in June concluded that while New York City remains the preferred location of global fi nancial companies to establish their headquarters, there is a growing trend to relocate jobs and business operations to lower cost, more business-friendly locations that are beyond the city’s border. A comprehensive survey was conducted in collaboration with Gerson Lehrman Group (GRG), intending to better understand how the fi nancial industry is evolving; and what measures are required to solidify New York’s competitive advantage as a global fi nancial center. Collected data represents an overview of the responses from 50-fi rm respondents that included large banks, insurance companies and asset managers, private equity fi rms, hedge funds, and fi nancial technology (FinTech) startups; and represent about 1/3rd of the total industry employment in the city. Additionally, observations were included from 8-real estate fi rms that were surveyed; along with interviews from other related experts in the fi eld. Financial Industry – an economic snapshot • Contributes 20% of the city’s economic output, representing twice that of the next top-grossing industry. • Accounts for nearly 1/3rd of the city’s private sector payroll, despite accounting for only 8%, or about 310,000 of the city’s private sector jobs in 2013; of which 23,000 jobs are high-technology in the areas of software, data processing and network management.
