One of the most successful BuroHappold Engineering, New York City, USA development initiatives undertaken in New York City in the last decade has been a horizontal, rather than a vertical, project: the High Line. The development of this linear park was not the idea of a savvy developer, nor of a far-sighted urban planner or city agency, but of residents who wanted to save a viaduct from demolition. The tools used to carry out the transformation Kate Ascher leads BuroHappold’s Cities Group in New York.

  • New York City Third Quarter 2017
    Market Report New York City Third Quarter 2017 Avison Young’s 2017 Third Quarter Manhattan Market Report includes our insights on office leasing, investment sales, debt & equity, valuation & advisory and retail activity. While there has been some pullback in investment sales activity and the debt & equity environment, at the same time positive influences have created opportunities within the other groups. In the following pages, we highlight not only the challenges, but also the bright spots that point to a New York City real estate market where the fundamentals overall remain intact. The Manhattan office leasing market was heavily influenced by a greater flight to quality towards the newer and more efficient properties by the less price sensitive tenants committing to significant amounts of space in and around the Hudson Yards area in Midtown. While some members of our valuation and advisory team like to refer to the Hudson Yards area and its emergence as the new “Last Frontier,” both Midtown South and Downtown have proven attractive to a growing mix of tenants including co-working and government/public administration agencies, which helped push leasing volume in these markets well above year-over-year levels. Healthy leasing demand overall has kept the Manhattan market in equilibrium with a 10.4 percent vacancy rate at the end of the third quarter, and plenty of space options remain suitable for all office occupiers regardless of price sensitivity. A weak supply of availabilities led to a decline in investment sales activity when measured by both dollar volume and number of transactions. This trickled down to the debt and equity market, as acquisition financing declined in lockstep.

  • L'oréal Moves Into New Digs at 10 Hudson Yards
    L’Oréal Moves Into New Digs at 10 Hudson Yards June 23, 2016 After nearly 60 years in Midtown Manhattan, L’Oréal USA announced today that its first em- ployees have officially moved into the compa- ny’s new U.S. headquarters at 10 Hudson Yards. Over the next few months, 1,300 L’Oréal USA employees will occupy 10 floors of the building, spanning more than 400,000 s/f of the 1.8 mil- lion-square-foot Platinum LEED-designed Tower on Manhattan’s West Side. L’Oréal’s is the second Hudson Yards tenant to move into the new neighborhood. Ten Hudson Yards officially opened its doors June 1 to wel- come the first wave of Coach employees to their new global headquarters. The majority of L’Oréal USA’s corporate func- tions and brand teams including Essie, Garnier, Lancôme, La Roche-Posay, L’Oréal Paris, Ma- trix, Maybelline, Redken and SkinCeuticals will be housed at the 10 Hudson Yards building, a modern glass office tower alongside the High Line. “Hudson Yards has a dynamic and creative en- ergy that aligns with the culture we are building at L’Oréal USA,” said Frédéric Rozé, president and CEO at L’Oréal USA. “L’Oréal is a 107-year- old company with the heart of a startup. Hudson Yards and the evolving West Side represent the new entrepreneurial spirit of Manhattan, and the spaces we’ve created are a modern new home for L’Oréal USA that will inspire the future of our company.” Working with Gensler, L’Oréal USA custom-designed the Hudson Yards office space with collaboration in mind.

  • An Evaluation of the Costs and Benefits of New York City's Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project
    An Evaluation of the Costs and Benefits of New York City’s Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project Michael Meola Eric Kober Kei Hayashi March 13, 2019 An Evaluation of the Costs and Benefits of New York City’s Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project Michael Meola Eric Kober Kei Hayashi March 13, 2019 Executive Summary: • The City’s goal to transform the Hudson Yards District from a largely vacant, underdeveloped transportation and distribution zone into a vibrant mixed-use, medium to high density district of workers, residents and visitors is being achieved ahead of projections, with over 30 million square feet of new development completed or in construction since the rezoning in 2005 • The $3.5 billion infrastructure investment that the City made, or has committed to fund, through Hudson Yards Infrastructure Corporation (HYIC) bonds to facilitate this transformation is paying off as the essential first step to attract vast private investment in the District that otherwise would not have occurred • Tax abatements in Hudson Yards are consistent with long-standing City practice to stimulate development where it is not occurring, and have contributed to the viability of commercial development in a previously fringe location • City payments to cover interest on HYIC’s bonds from 2007 to 2018 totaled $358 million; it is now estimated that future revenues from the District will not only pay off the bonds but will generate more than $21 billion in net revenues to the City • The opening on March 15th of the Related/Oxford Hudson Yards Project, the largest in the City’s history, built over the MTA Rail Yard on a billion-dollar privately funded platform, is the symbol of this remarkably successful public/private development that evidences the enormous strength of the City’s economy • The MTA has received over $1.2 billion for its property over the MTA Rail Yard and retains valuable development rights that it will be able to sell in the future • Additional benefits to the City include extension of the No.

  • Rethinking Third Avenue: Savills Studley
    Savills Studley Research Savills Studley Insights September 2015 RE-THINKING THirD AVENUE We compare the available stock of office space along Third Avenue versus the availability of space within the balance of the Grand Central submarket. We find that leasing activity along the Third Avenue corridor has accelerated, especially among Class B/C buildings. Despite the relatively low level of current availability, we think that Class B/C space along Third Avenue represents one of the last “value plays” in Manhattan, particularly for clients who wish to be in amenity-rich buildings close to public transportation. With an increase in the amount of higher-priced, new construction set to come online in the Downtown and Midtown submarkets, the relative attractiveness of Third Avenue is apt to grow. Savills Studley | Insights September 2015 There has been no shortage of media attention broadcasting the increase in Manhattan’s office supply. While many of the developers have secured the anchor tenants necessary to kick-start construction, significant supply is still to come. Table 1.

  • Hotel Development in NYC
    Hotel Development in NYC Hotel Development in NYC: Winter 2021 Edition All In NYC. Winter 2021 Hotel Update Coming off the strong start to 2020 in January and February, the New York City’s travel and tourism industry slowed in March and came to a near total halt in April. The spread of the Covid19 virus and the necessary restrictions and precautions put in place in response to the pandemic have changed the picture of the industry over the past nine months. The nature of travel shifted from traditional leisure and business to emergency accommodations and local uses. Many of the city’s hotels found ways to support the response to the pandemic and begin to plan for a post-pandemic travel environment. At the same time, a significant proportion of the City’s properties closed temporarily to protect their employees and adjust to reduced demand. Sadly, another group of owners have made the difficult decision to close permanently. At the same time, construction on the majority of new and developing projects resumed as soon as work was permitted. Foundations are being dug, floors are rising, facades are changing the look of neighborhoods and interior work is putting the finishing touches on hundreds of new rooms. Current active inventory has been constantly shifting in response to opportunity and need across the city. According to STR, approximately one-in-three rooms are offline as of December. The hotel pipeline in New York City continues to stand out in the US for diversity of properties and investment. With a range of ground up new buildings, restorations of historic buildings, and expansions, the hotel sector is meeting the diversity of traveler preferences and expectations.

  • About Hudson Yards
    ABOUT HUDSON YARDS Hudson Yards, New York City’s newest neighborhood, is the center of Manhattan’s rapidly changing West Side. At the nexus of Chelsea and Hell’s Kitchen, Hudson Yards has been transformed into a thriving destination for foodies, fashionistas, art lovers, park goers and tourists—not to mention home the world’s most innovative businesses and trendiest urban dwellers. When Hudson Yards is completed, an estimated 125,000 people daily are expected to live, work, dine, shop, study, stroll or sightsee at this 28-acre neighborhood, which will include 14 acres of public open space, a public school and the Western Hemisphere’s highest outdoor observation deck, among its many commercial and residential buildings. Already, Hudson Yards is home to a dazzling collection of restaurants and one-of-a-kind shopping experiences, as well as a unique cultural center, first-of-its-kind Equinox Hotel®, world-class medical facilities and lush gardens. And at the heart of it all, anchoring a grand central square, is New York’s next landmark: a climbable, interactive public monument unlike any in the world. All of this is in addition to state-of-the-art office space, and the finest in luxury residences and affordable rental apartments. Bounded by 30th and 34th Streets from 10th to 12th Avenues, Hudson Yards sits at the northern terminus of New York City’s famed elevated park, the High Line, and is serviced by the 34th Street-Hudson Yards station, an extension of the No. 7 Subway line, which connects to nearly all of the city’s other lines.
