During the first quarter of 2013, Manhattan's occupancy levels increased 4.4 percent to 80.0 percent. Pricing power continued to improve as ADR experienced healthy growth, increasing 5.5 percent. This combination led to a 10.2 percent increase in RevPAR in the first quarter, compared to year-ago levels; the highest since the first quarter increase of 10.3 percent in 2008.

According to the advance estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, US real gross domestic product ("GDP") increased at a seasonally-adjusted, annualized rate of 2.5 percent. This quarter's increase was primarily driven by positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures (“PCE”), which increased by 3.2 percent, a positive sign for the domestic lodging sector. Other factors that contributed to an increase in GDP included private inventory investment, which increased approximately 1.0 percent, exports, which increased 2.9 percent, residential investment, which increased 12.6 percent, and non- residential fixed investment, which increased 2.1 percent. These increases were partly offset by declines in federal government spending and state and local government spending. At the local level, New York's gross metro product is expected to increase by 2.8 percent in 2013, according to Moody's Economy.com forecast as of January 2013. New York City's consumer price index ("CPI") increased by an average of 2.1 percent during the first quarter, above the 1.7 percent increase in national CPI.

  • 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.

  • Fisher Brothers Holds “Night on Park Avenue” Event at 299 Park Avenue
    FISHER BROTHERS HOLDS “NIGHT ON PARK AVENUE” EVENT AT 299 PARK AVENUE New York, NY (October 4, 2017) –– Fisher Brothers hosted more than 300 of New York City’s top brokers for its Night on Park Avenue event at 299 Park Avenue on September 13. The event showcased the iconic 42-story Plaza District tower, which is set to undergo a renovation starting in early 2018. During his remarks, Fisher Brothers Partner Winston Fisher noted that the firm’s work on 299 Park Avenue will be the final piece of an ambitious $165 million program to reimagine and modernize its entire 5.5 million square foot Manhattan office portfolio. “Each of our buildings has undergone or is currently undergoing an extensive renovation that goes much deeper than a standard refresh,” said Mr. Fisher. “We’ve worked with top designers and architecture firms to totally transform the aesthetic of our buildings with updated entrances, more welcoming lobbies, and enlivened outdoor spaces.” Mr. Fisher told those in attendance that the 299 Park Avenue project will include a reimagined lobby with a high-end design and more open feel; a transformation of the entrance that will allow natural light to fill the lobby; and an illuminated plaza backed by a new exterior lighting system. “Working with David Rockwell and his team, we are reinventing the building with a sleek, stylish design that truly reflects its prestigious Park Avenue address,” said Mr. Fisher. Fisher Brothers has appointed Newmark Knight Frank as the exclusive leasing agent for 299 Park Avenue. In conjunction with the Fisher Brothers leasing team, Newmark Knight Frank is currently marketing over 341,000 rentable square feet of office space across four contiguous floors at the building.
