Like its predecessor 432 Park Avenue, 200 East 59th Street is a high-design residential tower that pushes the boundaries of classic modernism. With only one to three homes per floor, all 67 residences are corner units and take advantage of the building's expansive terraces that wrap around its 35 floors. They are seamless extensions of the main living room, separated by floor-to-ceiling walls of glass with slender framework and no horizontal interruptions to virtually eliminate the visual distinction between indoor and outdoor space. For that reason, the views at this building are unlike any other. To the north, the tower overlooks Central Park, where spring will soon be in full effect. One standout residence is 24D, priced at $4.345 million. Designed by CetraRuddy, this spacious 1,555-square-foot, two-bedroom, two and a half bath half-floor corner residence features 354 linear feet of terrace space with  access to an amenities level with a double-height lounge, marble fireplace, furnished and landscaped terrace, fitness center and a private dining room with a catering kitchen for larger functions.

Perfect for prospective buyers looking for outdoor access this spring, Front & York is currently offering a $10,000 landscaping credit for buyers of units with outdoor space.

Barak Blackburn Team's 112 India St. Development Brings Luxury Living to Greenpoint with Townhouse-style Units and Unique Features

Compass' top Brooklyn team, the Barak Blackburn Team, has announced the launch of their new development, 112 India St., located in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn. This three-unit new development offers attainable luxury in an area lacking large and quality inventory.

Christine Blackburn, who is marketing the project and is one of the developers, addressed the shortage of large luxury apartments head-on to meet consumer demand. This is Christine's second project as a developer, the first being Bath Haus, down the street from this project that sold out last year.

The new development comprises three- and four-bedroom units, with one of the units already in contract (an all-cash deal) that will set a record price per square foot for a one-bedroom in Greenpoint. Each unit has double-height ceilings and massive outdoor space, offering townhouse living without maintenance. In addition, the penthouse has a private elevator that goes to every floor, an unusual feature for the area. Prices range from $999 to $3.7M.

The team worked with Crosby Studios, known for their celebrity clients, to design the condos; this is Crosby Studios' first condo building design. Dyphor NY managed the staging, providing an elevated non-cookie-cutter look. The exterior of the building is adorned with tropical hardware meant to maximize privacy on the first floor and maintains a uniquely modern and contextual aesthetic that also blends with the neighborhood.

According to Christine, turnkey luxury townhouses are not on the market in Greenpoint, and buyers do not want to lose a year of their lives waiting for renovations. The luxury inventory shortage has to do with people in Greenpoint not selling as often as in mature markets like Park Slope.

Buyers coming to see the units are local and familiar with the area or people outside the city who have been to Greenpoint before.

The Beat Goes On: Learn about NYC’s Thriving Music Scene

New York City is one of the world's most vibrant and diverse musical cities. From jazz to hip-hop, pop to classical, the city is home to a wide range of musical genres and venues. Music has always been a significant part of the city's cultural heritage, and it continues to play an essential role in the city's economic and social development.

Economic Impact

Music is a significant contributor to the city's economy. According to a study by the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment, the music industry generates $21 billion in economic activity and supports over 60,000 jobs in New York City. The sector encompasses various activities, including live performances, recording studios, music publishing, and music education.

#1 Live Performances

Live performances are a significant contributor to the city's music industry. The city has many iconic music venues, such as Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, and the Apollo Theater, which attract local and international artists and generate significant revenue for the city. In addition, the city hosts many music festivals, such as the Governors Ball and the Electric Zoo, which attract thousands of visitors and generate millions of dollars in revenue.

#2 Recording Studios

New York City also has a thriving recording industry, with many world-renowned studios, such as Electric Lady Studios, Avatar Studios, and Platinum Sound Recording Studios. These studios attract artists worldwide, and their output contributes significantly to the city's music industry. They may also be responsible for the rise of several millennial properties in the city.

#3 Music Publishing

Music publishing is another crucial aspect of the city's music industry. Many of the world's largest music publishers, such as Sony/ATV Music Publishing and Warner/Chappell Music, have headquarters in New York City. These publishers generate significant revenue from licensing music for use in films, television shows, and commercials.

#4 Music Education

Music education is also an essential component of the city's music industry. The city is home to many prestigious music schools, such as the Juilliard School and the Manhattan School of Music. These schools provide world-class training to aspiring musicians and contribute to developing the city's music industry.

Trends

The music industry is constantly evolving, and New York City is at the forefront of many of these trends. One significant trend in the industry is the rise of streaming services, such as Spotify and Apple Music. These services have disrupted the traditional music industry model, and the city's music industry has had to adapt to these changes.

Another trend in the industry is the growing importance of social media. Many artists use social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter to connect with fans and promote their music. Social media has also allowed for the democratization of the music industry, allowing independent artists to gain exposure and build a following without the backing of a record label.

Opportunities

Despite the challenges posed by technological advancements and changes in consumer behavior, the New York City music industry continues to offer many opportunities for aspiring musicians and entrepreneurs. One significant opportunity is the city's thriving live music scene. The city's many music venues provide a platform for artists to showcase their talents and build a following.

Another opportunity is the city's vibrant music education scene. The city's music schools offer world-class training to aspiring musicians, providing them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the industry.

Conclusion

Music is an essential aspect of New York City's cultural heritage and is a significant contributor to the city's economy. The city's music industry encompasses various activities, including live performances, recording studios, music publishing, and music education. The industry is constantly evolving, with new trends emerging, such as streaming services and social media. However, despite these changes, the city's music industry continues to offer many opportunities for aspiring musicians and entrepreneurs.

New York City's ever-growing music industry is perfect for millennials who are passionate about music and want to make a career in the industry.

Ash Staging’s vision for the residence embraces light’s effect on the generously scaled spaces, offering a soothing palette that explores the juxtaposition between warm and cool tones. A thoughtful selection of international and domestic furniture and decor pieces can be found throughout the residence, showcasing a complementary blend of old and new — much like the building itself. 

Situated within the landmark West End Collegiate Historic District, 393 West End Avenue was originally designed by architects Goldner & Goldner and constructed in 1927. It features Collegiate Gothic architecture and original 1920s details that are being skillfully preserved by award-winning architecture and interior design firm, CetraRuddy. Sales for the building, which is developed by Rabina, commenced in April 2022, led by Louise Phillips Forbes of The Louise Phillips Forbes Team at Brown Harris Stevens.

Naftali Group's The Bellemont Opens to Residents; Officially Closes on Record-Breaking $67.8M Penthouse

Naftali Group, a leading privately held global real estate development and investment firm based in New York, today announced that closings have commenced at The Bellemont at 1165 Madison Avenue with the record-breaking $67.8M Penthouse C being the first residence to close. This highly anticipated luxury condominium brings a limited collection of 11 residences to the most desirable part of the Upper East Side. Designed by award-winning architectural firm Robert A.M. Stern Architects with interiors by Achille Salvagni, the fully sold boutique condominium is nearly complete and is now open to residents after launching sales in the fall of 2021. Compass Development Marketing Group handled sales and marketing for the building.

“The Bellemont offers a one-of-a-kind residential experience, and we are pleased to have reached this significant milestone and welcome home our first residents to this timeless Upper East Side building,” said Miki Naftali, CEO and Chairman of Naftali Group. “Joining The Benson as our second ground-up new development on Madison Avenue, The Bellemont has been met with a similar overwhelming response from buyers who recognize the value of this unique property we have created here. With its world-class design, unparalleled location, elegant residences and club-like amenities, The Bellemont is a prized addition to Madison Avenue.”

Sales at The Bellemont consistently topped weekly market reports and within five months of launching, the building reached full sell-out. In November of 2021, the project made headlines for its record-breaking $67.8M sale of Penthouses C and D, the building’s crowning duplex penthouses comprising four full floors and over 13,000 square feet. This combo unit deal is believed to be amongst the most expensive transactions ever recorded above 59th Street on the Upper East Side and broke the record for the highest PPSF in this part of the city, with a blended sellout of over $4,000 per square foot. The impressive quadruplex penthouse is the first residence to close at The Bellemont.

Located on the corner of Madison Avenue and 86th Street and just one block from Central Park, the 13-story, Robert A.M. Stern Architects-designed building creates a new architectural legacy on the Upper East Side. Reminiscent of the neighborhood’s distinct elegance, The Bellemont features a stately hand-laid Indiana limestone and iron-work façade and welcomes its residences through intricate metalwork doors. Inside, it boasts a collection of 11 elegant homes ranging from half-floor, full-floor, duplex and penthouse residences.

The Bellemont marks internationally acclaimed interior designer Achille Salvagni’s first full-building residential project inclusive of the residences and shared amenity spaces. Having also designed the jewel box lobby and cinema at Naftali’s condominium on Madison Avenue, The Benson, Salvagni – who is known for his work on super-luxury yachts and high-end private residential projects around the world – graced The Bellemont with exquisite details and contemporary conveniences throughout. The Bellemont features balanced interiors that play up the grand scale of residences and create special moments within each of the curated amenity spaces.

Complementing the building’s classical masonry façade, the residences’ grand proportions, soaring ceiling heights and views of Central Park through monumental windows, make these vast homes a notable addition to the city’s architectural history. Select residences feature private entry foyers, custom-designed limestone fireplaces and generous private outdoor spaces with custom-designed railings and detailing.

Residents of The Bellemont enjoy a generous array of amenities for wellness, leisure and entertainment. The offering includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, a private cinema with a wet bar, an inspired children’s playroom, a regulation squash court and a rooftop lounge with expansive Central Park views. The exquisite lobby at The Bellemont, which features custom-designed terrazzo floors with white marble leaf inlays, a beautiful ceiling with integrated lighting and a custom chandelier along with bespoke furnishings by Salvagni, will be attended 24 hours with a doorman and concierge.

Situated in one of the most highly coveted and pristine enclaves of the Upper East Side, The Bellemont is surrounded by picturesque streets and beautiful townhouse blocks, with New York’s iconic Central Park just moments away. Manhattan’s famed cultural institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim and The Frick Collection are also nearby, as well as Madison and Fifth Avenue shopping destinations.

The Bellemont also features prime retail space located on the ground floor of the luxury condominium with incredible ceiling heights. Beth Rosen and Emily Kripitz Simmonds of RIPCO Real Estate are currently handling the leasing and sale efforts.
