  • Pier 26 at Hudson River Park
    BSL CLASSROOM LOCATION GUIDE PIER 26 AT HUDSON RIVER PARK A BIT OF HISTORY FIRST! New York’s newest park, Pier 26 brings together many of the features that make Hudson River Park such a significant resource and destination for New Yorkers and visitors from around the world — unique opportunities to interact with the Hudson River and local ecology, innovative waterfront green space for relaxation and recreation, and unparalleled views of Lower Manhattan and New York Harbor. This 2.5-acre ecologically-themed pier in Tribeca incorporates indigenous plants evocative of Manhattan’s ecosystem prior to human development. A short habitat walk leads visitors through five native ecological zones: woodland forest, coastal grassland, maritime scrub, rocky tidal zone, and of course the Hudson River. Not so long ago, New York Harbor was covered with oyster reefs, so much so that eating oysters was a cheap way to eat out. In the nineteenth century, oysters declined due to over harvesting and water pollution. Today, throughout the Harbor, oysters are starting to make a comeback, mostly as a result of intentional seeding and habitat enhancement projects. In 2017, Hudson River Park’s Science and Education team made a thrilling discovery beneath Pier 25: hundreds of wild oysters on the underside of some pier docks. Oysters are filter feeders that clean waterways. In addition, oyster reefs provide habitat for many species.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission October 29, 2013, Designation List 469 LP-2540 41 WORTH STREET BUILDING, 41 Worth Street, Manhattan. Built c. 1865; Isaac F. Duckworth, architect; Architectural Iron Works, Daniel D. Badger & Company, cast iron Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 176, Lot 10 On June 25, 2013, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 41 Worth Street Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the Historic Districts Council; Victorian Society, New York; and Tribeca Trust. The president of the White Rose Artists Corporation board spoke in opposition. The Commission also received three letters in opposition to designation from members of the White Rose Artists Corporation board, including the president and vice-president. The Commission previously held a public hearing on this building on September 19, 1989 (LP-1728). Summary The five-story former store-and-loft building at 41 Worth Street was designed c. 1865 by Isaac F. Duckworth, an architect who designed several store-and-loft buildings in the Tribeca East, Tribeca South, and SoHo-Cast Iron Historic Districts. Built for Philo Laos Mills, a prominent dry goods merchant and founder of Mills & Gibb, the cast- iron facade, manufactured by Daniel D. Badger’s Architectural Iron Works, is intact above the first story. Designed in the Venetian-inspired Italianate style, the facade features tiers of single-story arcades with recessed, round-arched fenestration framed by rope moldings, molded lintels, and keystones springing from fluted columns, and spandrels cast to imitate rusticated masonry.

  • Fall Hospitality Report Manhattan 2015
    FALL HOSPITALITY REPORT (2015) MANHATTAN FALL HOSPITALITY REPORT MANHATTAN 2015 1 | P a g e FALL HOSPITALITY REPORT (2015) MANHATTAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY According to the Starr report, Manhattan’s hotel sector has been growing by over 4.0 % since 2010 both by ADR and number of rooms. The demand still far exceeds supply especially for 5 star brands. Early in the hotel recovery in 2011, three star brands grew in number of rooms and ADR initially. As the recovery went into full swing by late 2013, four and five star hotel development continued to outpace three star hotel growth. Global investors are seeking five star hotel product in Manhattan and at $1.0 million up to $2.0 million per key. For instance, Chinese investors bought the Waldorf Astoria and the Baccarat Hotels both at substantially above $1.0 million per key. Manhattan is one of the best hotel markets in the world between growing tourism and inexpensive accommodations compared to other global gateway cities like London, Paris, Moscow, Hong Kong, etc. Any established global hotel brand also requires a presence in Manhattan. In 2014 alone, 4,348 keys were added to Manhattan’s existing 108,592 rooms. Currently, another 14,272 rooms are under construction in the city and about 4000 keys (1/3) are for boutique hotels. As of July 2015, the Manhattan market has approximately 118,000 keys. They are segmented as follows: Currently, there is a 4.0% annual compounded growth rate. Despite this growth, demand for hotel rooms from tourism, conventions, cultural events, and corporate use continues to grow as Manhattan is one of the most desirable locations for all of the above uses especially tourism from Asia and Europe.
