Luxury Dining & Entertaining Space in New York

With all the shopping and scurrying around going on this time of year, we decided to take a break, breathe, and take in the sights. No, not another holiday window design, but rather a roundup of some of the best private dining and entertaining spaces offered in New York luxury residential buildings.

While the at-home dinner party may conjure up fond memories and ignite a dash of excitement, everyone knows that actually achieving it can be a chore. Ensuring a spotless space, preparing a home-cooked meal and greeting a constant stream of guests, wine glass in hand, is the ultimate definition of multi-tasking — and a recipe for disaster. In an effort to appeal to the buyers yearning to play host(ess), developers are opting to incorporate everything from private dining rooms with ensuite catering kitchens to hotel-like services, so their residents need not lift a finger (yet still get all the credit) when throwing their holiday soirees. Check out our faves.

Investment Properties: A Monopoly Game For Grown-Ups?

“Lower Manhattan is the fastest-growing residential area in the city right now,” said outgoing Economic Development Corporation president Andrew Alper in a New York Magazine interview. “It will go from 23,000 residents to 46,000 — double — by 2008. By 2030, the number we are using is roughly 80,000 people. That’s a pretty good-sized city in most parts of the world.”

So with this steady expansion it seems downtown investment properties are the next big trend in real estate. However, in the mysterious world of downtown investment properties there are more unknowns than knowns. To dive into the fire without guidance, may result in losing one’s pants — or at the very least, leaving the hapless worrier with his pockets fleeced, removed and emptied. “Finding the gems from the rhinestones is not an easy feat. Unschooled buyers don’t know value from gloss, good from bad, even if a deal looks good on paper.” So said downtown broker specialist Richard Nassimi, President and CEO of The Nassimi Group.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyGXRYY5mog&t=6s

According to Nassimi, investment property deals depend on variables and intangibles and may start, but not end with personality clashes among the players. There must be enough motivation to outbid offers if the buyer believe it’s a worthwhile venture.

Ben Shaoul is a renowned New York City-based real estate owner/developer, as President of the Magnum Real Estate Group, a residential real estate development/management company. In just under two decades, Shaoul has acquired and sold over 100 properties. He has diversified his portfolio from renovating thousands of apartments to developing new high-end condominium properties, commercial buildings and educational facilities.

One of Shaoul’s well-known projects includes the conversion of 140 West Street, Verizon’s landmarked Global Headquarters into luxury condominiums. Michael Stern, the CEO of JDS Development, who also tried to buy 140 West Street rebranded as 100. Said Stern in a Real Deal interview: “He’s got a lot going on but he can handle it. We loved that building and Ben outbid us fair and square. We weren’t far off from where Ben was.”

And what about a building like 30 Park Place? According to its website, 30 Park Place is the tallest residential tower in downtown Manhattan. It is also the 10th tallest building in New York City. 30 Park Place is the site of the Four Seasons Hotel, boasting sweeping city views with 157 luxury residential units. Consider those properties from New York City skyscrapers, where the tallest buildings will change New York City’s skyline.

Then there’s the property itself…Where is it located? What’s its condition? Does it need a gut renovation or just a new bathroom or paint job? Does Madonna live next door?

There are obvious pros and cons to every deal beyond from market conditions, costs for renovation and location. These are just a few of many factors that drive every real estate decision. How do you predict which investment properties will bring in more money and rewards?

Highlights From The Launch Party Of Downtown Magazine’s Fall 2016 Issue

 

 

On Oct. 18, Downtown Magazine held its Fall 2016 Cover Launch Party at the new Four Seasons Downtown Private Residences at 30 Park Place in Tribeca. Champagne and hors-d’oeuvres were served and guests had the luxury of enjoying the incredible interiors designed by Robert Couturier and stunning views of Lower Manhattan from the 78th Floor in one of the newly-finished penthouses.

With a long guest list, the who’s who of the downtown area joined Downtown in celebration of this very special issue of the magazine. As the undeniable architect of Lower Manhattan, the man on the new issue’s cover story, Larry Silverstein, was the event’s special guest.

 

“The first time I came upon Grace Capobianco, I said to her ‘You’re a unique woman”

“I never expected to have the opportunity of having a magazine as spectacular as the magazine we have with us tonight”

 

The elevators were overwhelmed with guests who included; VIPs and real estate power players including:

 

 

 

In tribute to the aforementioned Larry Silverstein — a pillar in the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan — Downtown prepared two surprises for the evening’s special guest. After Mr. Silverstein had given a speech, Downtown CEO & Publisher Grace A. Capobianco thanked Mr. Silverstein with a heartfelt video by Director & Cinematographer Zurab Katamadze and Photographer Dimitri Mais with help from the Downtown team, featuring many of Mr. Silverstein’s closest friends and collaborators, both in real estate as well as in the downtown area.

 

Friends such as Bruce Ratner, Norman Sturner, and Leonard Boxer spoke to Silverstein’s character, while local community figures including Jessica Lappin, Gale Brewer, and Catherine McVay Hughes talked about the incredible role Silverstein has played in the revitalization of downtown. Within the video, his daughter Lisa Silverstein and her husband Tal Kerret noted how incredibly lucky they are to be a part of the Silverstein family and how both Larry and Klara Silverstein inspire them every single day. Son Roger Silverstein offered similarly-touching sentiments.

“We’re blessed to have the magazine and we are blessed to have her”

The second surprise from Downtown was in the form of music. When Ms. Capobianco first learned of Mr. Silverstein’s love of classical music, she knew exactly who to call. Her dear friend Gregory Harrington, Ireland’s most recognized violinist, who has played all over the world for celebrities heads of states and several times at Carnegie Hall. Most recently he played for Hillary Clinton.

 

 

Although it was Downtown honoring Mr. Silverstein, he spoke eloquently about Ms. Capobianco’s talent, passion and incredible job she’s done with launching Downtown Magazine almost 8 years ago. A much-needed vehicle for the new downtown.

“I never expected to have the opportunity of having a magazine as spectacular as the magazine we have with us tonight and the person who is remarkable, responsible for everything in that magazine because of the passion that she has for this magazine — the passion she has for everything that exists down here in Lower Manhattan, at the end of the day, we’re blessed to have the magazine and we are blessed to have her. Lo and behold I’m on the front cover, so how can I say anything negative about this magazine. The first time I came upon Grace Capobianco, I said to her ‘You’re a unique woman.’ Unique because whatever she did, she did it with such zest, with such drive, with such passion that I finally said to her “You know, I’ve never met another magazine publisher like you.” She said, “Well, how many have you met?” I replied “Well, you’re the only one that I’ve met,” said Mr. Silverstein as he and the crowd roared with laughter.

Earlier this week, New York developer Larry Silverstein announced the commencement of closings at the Robert A.M. Stern-designed 30 Park Place Four Seasons Private Residences New York Downtown. The 926-foot tower, which stands as the tallest condominium to grace the Downtown Manhattan skyline, will also welcome its first residents to the building.

“We are delighted to welcome our new residents to 30 Park Place,” said Larry Silverstein, Chairman of Silverstein Properties. “With its new shops and restaurants, great schools and green spaces, downtown has become the most desired and fastest-growing residential neighborhood in Manhattan.”

The completion of 30 Park Place Four Seasons Private Residences New York Downtown is a major celebratory milestone for Lower Manhattan. With more than 75 percent of the 157 residences already sold, 30 Park Place is beginning to market the Penthouse Residences, which includes a collection of 11 half-and full-floor homes at the top of the building, all with outdoor space. Two model residences by internationally-renowned interior designers will be launched in the Fall to celebrate the dramatic views from these elegant homes.

“With most of our residences under contract we are thrilled to begin closings and deliver to our buyers a residential lifestyle experience like no other,” said Rob Vecsler, President, Residential Development for Silverstein Properties. “With the residences starting on the 40th floor, 30 Park Place offers spectacular views, gracious layouts, a full suite of amenities, CUT restaurant, and the white-glove service of Four Seasons Hotels and Resort — all within one of the most exciting neighborhoods in New York.”

Adding to the excitement will be the opening of the Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown, which sits below the private residences at 30 Park Place. Occupying the first 24 floors of the tower is an exclusive collection of 185 guest rooms and suites designed by Yabu Pushelberg. The hotel has begun accepting reservations for its first guests in the fall. Known for its five-star services, experiences, and amenities, The Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown will also be home to CUT by Wolfgang Puck, the celebrity chef and restaurateur’s first and only New York restaurant.
