Penn Station revamp to begin in late 2027, Trump says

By Aaron Ginsburg

Construction on the long-delayed revamp of Penn Station will start in late 2027, the Trump administration announced on Wednesday. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said proposals will be accepted starting in October for the redevelopment of the busy train hall, with a goal to start construction in two years. The news comes after the feds put Amtrak in control of the project over Gov. Kathy Hochul in April. It's unclear how much the project will now cost under the updated timeline and possibly new design, but previous estimates from the MTA listed a $7 billion price tag.

Live the ‘Downton Abbey’ life off the grid on this 151-acre Gilded Age Tuxedo Park estate, asking $29.5M

By Michelle Cohen

On the market for the first time in over 30 years, "Renamor," a 151-acre estate in upstate New York's gated community of Tuxedo Park, is listed for $29.5 million. About 20 percent the size of Central Park, the estate is the largest property and most expensive ever listed in the Orange County enclave, as the Wall Street Journal reported. The Hudson Valley home, with its classic clay tiled roof, dormer windows, stone and stucco facade, tennis courts, several pools, a boathouse, a garage, a guesthouse, and several patios–surrounded by lawns and rolling hills–could easily be situated in the French countryside. But unlike most country estates, this property can operate entirely off the grid, independent of local utilities, with net-zero energy integration that includes a microgrid system.

By Devin Gannon

Midtown South could look a lot different in the coming years, with a neighborhood rezoning imminent, but at least five buildings will remain protected. The Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) on Tuesday voted to designate five buildings that not only are unique architecturally, but also reflect the development of the Garment District and the importance of the fashion industry to New York City. The designation comes as the City Council prepares to vote on the Midtown South Mixed-Use plan this week.

The rise of the next Williamsburg: How Gowanus went from eyesore to eye-popping prices

It’s been 20 years since The New York Times reported that city officials voted "to let developers turn the decaying north Brooklyn waterfront, with its relics of Brooklyn's industrial past, into a neighborhood of residential towers with a parklike esplanade along the East River." In the two decades since, this version of Williamsburg was replaced by the first generation of "hipsters," glassy condo towers with Manhattan views, and throngs of Manhattanites crowding the L train to hit up Union Pool and Maison Premiere. Now, a new rezoning is putting another Brooklyn neighborhood on the same path. This time, the waterfront is the once-toxic Superfund-designated Gowanus Canal.

By Aaron Ginsburg

The City Council intends to override Mayor Eric Adams' veto of a bill that would decriminalize most street vending violations in New York City. Intro. 47-B, passed by the Council in June with a veto-proof majority of 40-8 and three abstentions, was vetoed by Adams last Wednesday. He argued the bill “sends the wrong message” amid the city’s increased enforcement against illegal vending. The override vote is expected at the Council’s full meeting on August 14, according to Spectrum News.

Situated on East 69th Street’s historic "stable row," this unique Romanesque Revival carriage house at 155 East 69th Street has a storied past and an unusual configuration.

Asking $9,500,000, the property contains a not-for-profit foundation and a stunning private residence. Standout features include an elevator and a private garage.

A dozen more New York City subway stations will receive accessibility upgrades under the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's 2025-2029 capital plan.
