  • 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.

  • Noteworthy Entertainment OOH in Los Angeles This Year
    Annual Special Issue: Entertainment OOH in LA August 26, 2019 Noteworthy Entertainment OOH in Los Angeles This Year Rick Robinson, Billups OOH reports 7.7 percent growth last quarter. Movies report a high-water summer box office of $3.2B. Streaming services are exploding. Content is coming at us from all directions. It’s all good. Very good. While the exhibitors seek to create immersive theatrical experiences to lure you out of the house, there’s often nothing better than taking in all this terrific, fresh, and easily available content in the comfort of your own home. The options are abundant, and it’s a buyer’s market. We, the viewers, have choices. A constant flow we can never hope to keep up with. Yet in the end, the content machines need an audience, and the audience is hungry for more. OOH stands at the ready as the elixir. We are the analog messenger for the never-ending supply of digital content. We are where you go when you want to reach everyone right now. We are the voice of the cities we serve. What follows are 17 examples of what caught my eye this summer in LA. It’s not everything. It’s what I liked and why. Hope you enjoy the reviews and get a feel for what it was like on the OOH streets in the city of angels this past summer. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (Columbia) ***** This magnum opus to Hollywood literally stole the show on the Sunset Strip. Much like the multi-connected-yet-disjointed narratives Quentin Tarantino is known to spin in his films, this OOH effort wrote its story with large and small format placements, contextual moments, epic neon, and other surprises – all while crafting a tightly woven fabric of unique creative messages slowly revealing an outstanding ensemble cast.

They become unusable or no longer meet increasing expectations about com- EDITORIAL fort and space. Sometimes they are simply not impressive enough for new users or functions. These circumstances make the desire for something new only too under- standable. But there are good reasons for not acceding to calls for renewal invariably and unthinkingly. RE-NEW Renovating an old building uses up to two thirds less material than an equiva- lent new building – saving the equivalent amount of energy for producing and trans- porting materials, as Thomas Lemken writes in his article for Daylight&Architecture. Many old buildings additionally possess unrivalled construction qualities – whether a “bonus” in terms of room height and width or details and decorations in the work- manship no longer found in new buildings. Often, however, these aesthetic qualities are hidden, and it takes the work of an architect to bring them to light. In his article “More space, more light” in this issue, Hubertus Adam describes how this can hap- pen. However, existing buildings in our cities and villages also represent an unparal- leled challenge. Badly insulated old buildings are among humanity’s greatest energy wasters.
