  • 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.

  • Liberty Tower Narrative
    LIBERTY TOWER The ‘World’s Tallest Building on so Small a Plot’… it introduced the Gothic style to skyscrapers and is one of the earliest of the romantic— skyscrapers New York which City changed Landmarks, the skyline Preservation of Manhattan Commission in the early Wall 1900s Plaque THE FINANCIAL DISTRICT Cathedrals of Commerce In the middle of the 19th century, as the Financial District became more established, mercantile interests simply reused the existing dwellings and shipping related warehouses. As the 19th century drew to a close, steel became readily available, and its structural strength permitted taller buildings. Additionally, the newly invented elevator permitted ready access to the upper floors of these taller buildings. These budding technologies allowed businesses to adapt to new structural layouts which permitted expansion upward, maintaining the same amount of space on the ground while providing greater space above. Eventually commercial buildings developed into a new form of architecture, the office building, whose intent was to provide an infrastructure where people could conduct their daily business independent of facilities for the handling of goods. The office buildings were different from the open lofts in that they were compartmentalized into individual spaces, allowing workers to have privacy from each other. In the 20th century, the ever-taller office buildings became known as skyscrapers. Their height limit was tested, economically and practically, as each developer tried to outdo the previous. New York became known as a city of skyscrapers. By the end of the 20th century, zoning regulations and the impact of skyscrapers on their surroundings and the environment began to control their popularity.

  • May 15, 2019 Restaurant Guide to New York City Here Are Evaluations
    May 15, 2019 Restaurant Guide to New York City Here are evaluations of restaurants that I’ve tried in New York. You’ll see that the great majority of them receive grades of A or B. I don’t think that this is because I’m an easy grader. Rather, I generally don’t go to a place unless it has received at least a 4.0 from the generally reliable Zagat guide or I’ve gotten a recommendation from a source whose judgment I trust. Still, there are clunkers now and then. Also, I grade on a curve in the sense that a great hamburger joint and a great upscale French restaurant can both merit an A+, even though the dining experiences will be rather different. (Using the jargon of economics, I’m more or less looking at the marginal utility per dollar!) For the most part, these restaurants fall in the mid-price range (for Manhattan), roughly $40 to $60 per person, without drinks. Bon appétit! Restaurant Neighborhood Date Grade Comments 33 Greenwich Greenwich October 2017 A- Southern. Updated versions of southern food were Village outstanding. Try the shrimp and grits and the meatloaf sandwich. The service, while pleasant, was too slow and inattentive. 44& ½ Hell’s Kitchen Hell’s Kitchen November 2006 B+ American. Some of the dishes were terrific (goat cheese souffle’ appetizer), but some, like the main course duck, were only ok. November 2009 A Upgraded this to an A—everything was excellent, January 2010 A service was good, and portions were substantial. October 2017 A- Everything was good.
