MASTER OF COMMUNITY PLANNING THESIS OF KAREN ANSIS Approved: Thesis Committee: Major Professor ~C! I~ ~~?=r_J!_J Dean of the Graduate School UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 1977 Abstract Along with a substantial increase in interest in historic preser­ vation in the last decade has come an acute awareness that landmarks preservation is a rea l estate, planning, and development activity which frequently involves extensive costs and difficult market decisions. In response to the needs to assuage and resolve financial and legal conflicts and to establish equitable public pol icy regarding the built environment, in 1965 the City of New York enacted one of the most inno­ vative and progressive landmarks preservation statutes in the country. Because this law has served as a model for other localities and because this law has been successfully challenged in litigation, its strengthen­ ing and the strengthening of the framework for landmarks preservation in New York City are pressing concerns for preservationists.

  • 2007 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 28
    HVS Hospitality Services : 2007 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 28 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview HVS Hospitality Services, in cooperation with New York University's Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, is pleased to present the tenth annual Manhattan Hotel Market Overview. A slight uptick in Manhattan’s occupancy level in 2006 led to a record high of 85.0%. Despite a virtually stable occupancy, the Manhattan lodging market registered a 13.4% increase in RevPAR compared to 2005, continuing its impressive performance. The market’s RevPAR gain was supported by double-digit growth in average rate each month of the year, with the exception of December, causing year-end 2006 average rate to exceed the 2005 level by 13.2%. The high rates registered by the Manhattan lodging market were caused primarily by continued strong demand levels in 2006, allowing hotel operators to be more selective with lower-rated demand and increasingly boost rates, thereby accommodating greater numbers of higher-rated travelers. We note that the market’s overall occupancy level of 85.0% in 2006 highlights the underlying strength of the Manhattan market, which continued to operate at near-maximum-capacity levels. Because of a further decline in supply in 2006, the market continued to experience many sell-out nights, causing a significant amount of demand to remain unaccommodated. Given the larger-than-ever construction pipeline in Manhattan, a substantial portion of previously unaccommodated demand is expected to be accommodated in the future. Manhattan’s marketwide occupancy and average rate both achieved new record levels in 2006, and we expect the positive trend to continue in 2007.
