So cool to see the Couture u/c. I love the Miami vibe of the design. This project has been in the works in some form since I lived there in 2008.

I am always in amazement at how so many of these downtown shots have over a century of architectural variety represented in them.

Look at this for example in HY. 35 Hudson Yards, 78th floor, 4br/4ba, 3,800 sq ft. Listed in 2019 for $17.7M. 4 years later, still on the market, now for $13.7M. That is a reduction of $4M! The monthly condo fees are $12,200, WTF...

There are only so many offshore billionaires looking to park their money in US real estate. Some of these buildings have 1 br's going for $3M, whereas you can get a really nice, new building 1 br elsewhere in Manhattan for $1.3-1.5M. So who is going to pay DOUBLE, plus wild condo fees? I...

I still remember the year ~2000 with the giant Globix / Global Crossing - CLEC/COLO/DATACENTER all-caps sign that was up for so long, then one day it was gone. And nobody has been able to make that site work.

Defs 1990's. The South Bay Incinerator is in the background. That was demolished by 1998. Such a cool photo. Don't even get me going on the seaport sea o' parking spots.

I can't believe that they still operated a significant manufacturing operation so close to a city core, and an expensive city core at that. I bet developers have been drilling at their kneecaps to get their hands on that parcel. I am also surprised that the site has been so active this long...

Am I missing something? Looks like nothing has happened in 10 months. Also, is that Louis CK crossing Blossom Street?

I understand the ire here, but it beats the heck out of the crappy gas station and Shaws/Star Market and its tiny parking lot.

I recently toured a bunch of ultra-high-end Miami homes on one of those gated islands with a friend that does real estate there. Think $15M, $20M+ homes. They all were either new or heavily updated and they all looked like the lobby of this building. Beige, taupe, matte metals, and some...

Good question. It is sunny most days, dry with little/no breeze so I would say upper 20's and low 30's during the day in those similar to Boston winters. Now that you mention it, the early and late winter periods are far better than Boston, haha. We never get the gloomy, damp, grey, cloudy...

Having lived in Boston an NYC for most of my life, here are my thoughts. Life here is really, really easy - good quality of life, great jobs, and a fairly low cost of living. The metro area is 4.5M people, so it is not as big as Boston, but it is plenty big enough that you are not going to the...

When I lived in HY pre-Covid and worked in Midtown, when "everyone" went to the office, I would often be on a near-empty 7 train, aside from HY construction workers. There a lot of people that walk to HY from Penn Station from the LIRR, NJ Trainsit, and the A/C/E, and the 1/2/3 on 7th Ave...

The "historic" Duffy Paper Company factory buildings (2 connected by a walkway) in the North Loop is being redeveloped into a ~360-unit apartment complex. It has sat vacant for 15 years while every other lot around it has been loaded up with 5 over 1.

I lived across the street from this site. It has been a vacant lot for over a decade, mainly used for fashion events and Equinox used it as a pop-up gym during Covid. Interesting to see they are putting office space there. Allegedly, a lot of the Hudson Yards condos are not selling, while the...

I bet it will be packed, too. Preferably, I would come around Christmas, after they have worked out the new hotel team, new hotel operations, new building, etc. kinks.

I can't help but think the following when I see this building:

Cladding color reminds me of Andes mint cocolate filling:

Those last two renders are about 1 person away from an Edward Hopper painting.

The restaurant looks nice. My first thought was, "I bet they have a $25 hamburger". I was wrong. It is only $24, what a bargain.
