    By CityRealty Staff Friday, July 13, 2018 L to R: One West End, 432 Park Avenue, One57 One West End, 432 Park Avenue, and One57 are the top-selling condo buildings in New York City so far this year, according to research from CityRealty. Closings in the three buildings together have accounted for more than half a billion dollars in sales. Recorded sales in One West End so far this year have totaled $207 million over 57 units. The average sales price in the building this year is $3.6 million, and the average price/ft2 is $2,064. The Elad Group and Silverstein Properties-developed building, where closings started last year, is approaching sell-out status, with 193 of the 246 units having closed already, including one four-bedroom now belonging to Bruce Willis and his wife Emma Heming Willis. // One West End interiors (DBOX / Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects) https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/market-insight/features/get-to-know/2018039s-top-selling-condos-so-far-one-west- end-beats-432-park-avenue/19263 Even though there have only been 8 closings recorded so far this year in 432 Park Avenue, the world's tallest residential building is the second-highest selling building of 2018 so far, with $185 million in sales.

  • True to the City's Teeming Nature, a New Breed of Multi-Family High Rises
    BY MEI ANNE FOO MAY 14, 2016 True to the city’s teeming nature, a new breed of multi-family high rises is fast cropping up around New York – changing the face of this famous urban jungle forever. New York will always be known as the land of many towers. From early iconic Art Deco splendours such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, to the newest symbol of resilience found in the One World Trade Center, there is no other city that can top the Big Apple’s supreme skyline. Except itself. Tall projects have been proposed and built in sizeable numbers over recent years. The unprecedented boom has been mostly marked by a rise in tall luxury residential constructions, where prior to the completion of One57 in 2014, there were less than a handful of super-tall skyscrapers in New York. Now, there are four being developed along the same street as One57 alone. Billionaire.com picks the city’s most outstanding multi-family high rises on the concrete horizon. 111 Murray Street This luxury residential tower developed by Fisher Brothers and Witkoff will soon soar some 800ft above Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood. Renderings of the condominium showcase a curved rectangular silhouette that looks almost round, slightly unfolding at the highest floors like a flared glass. The modern design is from Kohn Pedersen Fox. An A-team of visionaries has also been roped in for the project, including David Mann for it residence interiors; David Rockwell for amenities and public spaces and Edmund Hollander for landscape architecture.

  • Trends of Venture Capital Internationalisation the Impact of a Technology Ecosystem on Early Stage Cross- Border Investments
    Trends of Venture Capital Internationalisation The impact of a technology ecosystem on early stage cross- border investments . AUTHOR Anna Ahlm TUTOR Conny Overland Spring term 2014 FEA50E Degree Project in Business Administration for Master of Science in Business and Economics, 30 credits Abstract The venture capital industry has grown rapidly in the last decades to become an important source of financing for entrepreneurs. While research suggests that venture capital investments are more likely to be successful if done in close geographic proximity to the venture capital firm, there is clearly a trend of increasing international investments. This thesis looks at the venture capital community in New York to understand venture capital as a part of the development of New York’s technology cluster, and to understand venture capitalists view on cross-border investments. By applying the ecosystem resource perspective model, the study finds that venture capitalists have a strong influence on the technology ecosystem in New York, due to its large financial sector. The study also finds that ecosystem sub-sectors have developed by applying technology to the dominating business sectors in New York. The study also identifies a “reverse internationalisation”, whereby companies founded abroad relocate to New York at earlier stages in their development, as the growth of the New York ecosystem has increased its attractiveness to foreign founded companies. While the empirical results confirm an increasing interest for cross-border investing, the increased supply of early stage investment opportunities (U.S. and foreign founded) creates a strong incentive for a local investment strategy. Further, the study finds that venture capitalists mitigate the risks associated with cross-border investments by establishing funds in specific regions of interest, and by co- investing with local partners.

  • Chapter One the BEST of NEW YORK
    6484-6 Ch01.F 3/25/02 9:06 AM Page 11 Chapter One THE BEST OF NEW YORK I certainly hope that you will be reading every word in this book (and underlining the good parts in pink felt-tip pen), but I under- stand that many people are truly living the New York Minute and are constantly on a mad dash from here to there—unable to spare the time to read this guide from cover to cover. Or, you may have the time to read this entire book, but find all the possibilities overwhelming. It’s also possible that you won’t be overwhelmed by the information in this book, but find that when you actually get to New York City, you get confused just trying to figure out which way is uptown and which is down- town, let alone trying to find a specific shop in NoLita. To combat the above problems, I have created this at-a-glance chapter to help you get started quickly and easily by using these pages as a handy tip sheet. This chapter features some easy- to-locate shops where you can find what you need if you’re short on time. Each store mentioned here is explained in greater depth in later chapters, and there are plenty more shops discussed inside. Addresses in all listings are given with cross streets so that you can find your destination more easily. When taking a taxi, tell the driver the cross streets as soon as you get in the car so there is no confusion.
