Related modifies Hudson Yards casino proposal to include 4,000 housing units

Related Companies is more than doubling the number of housing units in its $12 billion Hudson Yards casino proposal ahead of an important City Council vote. After feedback from the community, the developer announced plans to replace a 1,400-foot-tall office tower with two residential buildings, which would increase the projected housing from 1,500 units to 4,000 total units on the site. As reported by Crain's, the change seeks to address critics of Related's efforts to modify the terms of a 2009 rezoning, which originally called for over 5,000 new homes on the site.

City Planning Commission advances $12B Hudson Yards casino plan

By Aaron Ginsburg

A $12 billion proposal to bring a casino complex to Hudson Yards just cleared a key step in the approval process. On Wednesday, the City Planning Commission (CPC) voted 9-2 to advance Related Companies and Wynn Resorts' "Hudson Yards West" plan, which calls for a resort and casino, a 5.6-acre public park, a public school, office space, and hundreds of new affordable homes atop the site’s undeveloped western rail yards. The proposal seeks to amend a 2009 plan that envisioned a primarily residential neighborhood with more than 5,000 new homes—a figure that has since been reduced to just over 1,500.

NYC’s 10 best-selling residential buildings of 2024

By Devin Gannon

A new report from CityRealty reveals New York City's best-selling residential buildings of 2024. Last year's total sales by dollar amount remained just under $22 billion, falling below the 10-year average of $26.9 billion, likely due to high interest rates and global uncertainties. But the luxury market remained strong, with the majority of best-selling buildings being all new developments, including One High Line and Aman New York Residences, which top the list. As CityRealty notes, the 30 top-selling buildings in Manhattan accounted for $4.4 billion in sales, 992 units sold, and 20 percent of the borough's total apartment sales by dollar volume.

By Devin Gannon

One of New York City's first modernist residences is back on the market. The townhouse at 32 East 74th Street was designed by William Lescaze, a Swiss-born American architect credited with pioneering modernism in the United States. Known as the Raymond C. and Mildred Kramer House for the original owners, the Upper East Side property has an iconic white stucco and glass brick facade preserved to comply with landmarks law. Inside, however, several renovations over the years have left little traces of Lescaze's interior design. Now asking $15,000,000, the home, which has been divided into three duplex apartments, has been on and off the market for nearly a decade.
