Magician Runs 116 Miles Around Central Park

A record number of employees were back at the office for the week of March 30, according to Kastle Systems’ “Back to Work Barometer”. While that’s positive news for the office market, the level marked only 42 percent of pre-pandemic levels.

The share of workers back in the office was the highest in around ...

NYC’s last batch of new condos with 421a tax abatements

Condos built under the 421a tax abatement program, are starting to fade away to a point where there will eventually not be any more.

Created in 1971 to spur development in neglected neighborhoods of New York, the 421-a program allowed condo buildings to be exempted from millions of dollars in property taxes for 10 to 25 years, depending on location and other criteria. The program expired in 2016, but the tax breaks persist depending on when a building was built. Owners of 421-a apartments pay a fraction of the property’s full taxes during a period of ...

Planet Hollywood returns to NYC with new Times Square location

Since opening its original location on West 57th Street three decades ago, Planet Hollywood’s long-term success rate in its home city has proven spotty. But owner Robert Earl hopes the third time will be the charm.

Earl Enterprises, the restaurant chain’s parent company, has signed a lease for 17,500 square feet across four floors at 140 West 42nd Street; the restaurant will occupy the lowest floors of the building.

Planet Hollywood was a hot ticket in the early 1990s, when the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone put a public ...
