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.

  • How the Rich Get a Big Real Estate Tax Break - Nytimes.Com
    7/12/13 How the Rich Get a Big Real Estate Tax Break - NYTimes.com July 12, 2013 How the Rich Get a Big Real Estate Tax Break By JULIE SATOW The rarefied few who can afford to shell out tens of millions of dollars for an apartment in one of the gleaming new condominiums being built across New York City may be searching for luxury, but in some cases they will find an unexpected perk: a break on real estate taxes that can mean tax bills as low as $96 a month. At 56 Leonard Street, where a penthouse just went into contract for $47 million, the buyers are poised to receive a 76 percent break on their real estate taxes. At 150 Charles Street, an ultraluxury development in the West Village, the tax break is 70 percent. And at One57, the 90-story skyscraper in Midtown where asking prices top $10,500 a square foot, the tax break is an eye-popping 94 percent. A recent review of the offering plans for some of the city’s most expensive new apartment buildings offers an interesting peak into the perquisites and disadvantages of a lavish lifestyle. There are the windfalls, like the generous tax breaks, but there are also oft-overlooked expenses, like mandatory health club and dining-room fees, that can add to a buyer’s bottom line. At 56 Leonard Street, for example, the buyer who is in contract for the record-breaking penthouse would typically pay $140,000 a year in real estate taxes, according to estimates from the offering plan.

  • BLOOMBERG BUSINESS February 16, 2016 Citadel Leases Anchor Space at New Tower on NYC's Park Avenue
    February 16, 2016 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-16/citadel-leases-anchor-space-at-new-tower-on-nyc-s-park- avenue Citadel Leases Anchor Space at New Tower on NYC's Park Avenue by David M Levitt Hedge fund firm Citadel LLC signed a lease to anchor a new skyscraper that’s under construction on Manhattan’s Park Avenue, the first new office building to be built on the pricey corridor in almost four decades. The deal, reached late last week, entitles the $25 billion firm founded by Kenneth Griffin to a little more than 200,000 square feet (18,600 square meters) of office space at 425 Park Ave., said David Levinson, chairman of L&L Holding Co., the developer of the 670,000-square-foot tower. The lease includes the penthouse floor, which will have 38-foot (12-meter) glass ceilings and views of Central Park. Citadel also will occupy the two floors below the penthouse and space in the center of the Norman Foster-designed skyscraper, Levinson said. It’s a “great relief” to have “a complete, closed transaction” with Citadel, given the current turmoil in the stock market, Levinson said in a phone interview. “For a financial company as good as they are, to make a deal like this with all the turbulence in the world, is a very strong statement for New York City, and their view of the world economically.” The lease helps validate L&L’s decision to start work on the new tower -- on the east side of Park Avenue between 55th and 56th streets – before having any tenant commitments, a process known as building “on spec” and that’s regarded as risky in the real estate industry.

    Development News Highlights MANHATTAN - MID-2ND QUARTER 2019 PLUS AN OUTER BOROUGH SNAPSHOT Pictured: 315 Meserole Street Looking Ahead U.S. Treasury Releases Additional Opportunity Zones Guidelines On April 17th the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued a highly anticipated second set of proposed regulations related to the new Opportunity Zone (OZ) tax incentive. Created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the tax benefi t is designed to drive economic development and create jobs by encouraging long-term investments in economically distressed communities nationwide according to the Treasury department’s press release. The latest 169-page release reportedly delivered guidance in a broader range of areas than many expected, hoping to provide investors who have been on the fence with the clarity needed to begin developing projects in distressed areas nationwide. Some government offi cials anticipate the program could spur $100 billion in new investment into the more than 8,762 zones nationwide, of which 306 are located in New York City; however there exist some concerns among critics that the program will incentivize gentrifi cation, or provide added benefi t to developers for projects they would have been pursued anyway. According to the press release by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a key part of the newly released guidance clarifi es the “substantially all” requirements for the holding period and use of the tangible business property: • For use of the property, at least 70% of the property must be used in a qualifi ed OZ. • For the holding period of the property, tangible property must be qualifi ed opportunity zone business property for at least 90% of the Qualifi ed Opportunity Fund’s (QOF) or qualifi ed OZ business’s holding period.
