ODA’s pixelating concrete condo near Billionaires’ Row prepares to launch sales, studios from $1.4M

A new condo in Midtown East wants to humanize Billionaires' Row living. Designed by ODA, the Malabar Residences at 126 East 57th Street rises 28 stories in cascading cast-in-place concrete tiers, described by CityRealty as a "playfully pixelated totem of apartments." The architects integrate the building with the streetscape with two entrances and public-facing retail, while promoting the idea of "vertical living" for residents by dispersing shared spaces throughout the tower. Sales are set to launch for the Malabar's 145 residences, with initial pricing starting at $1.4 million for a studio and going up to $12.5 million for a three-bedroom penthouse.

LES arts collective ABC No Rio breaks ground on new building in triumphant return to original home

A decade ago, New York City's creative community expressed alarm, tempered by a bit of hope, at the news that ABC No Rio, the iconic downtown DIY punk rock venue and arts/cultural space that had been a fixture on the Lower East Side's street scene since 1980, would be moving. What has been a 10-year journey has achieved a promising new milestone as construction began on a new space at 156 Rivington Street this summer. As Hyperallergic reports, the collective's new home, set to open in 2026, will mean a triumphant full-circle return to the group's original "art squat" address on Rivington Street after a long and arduous wait and many setbacks along the way.

Located in the Carnegie Hill Historic District in the heart of the Upper East Side, this ivy-covered 6,400-square-foot townhouse at 67 East 91st Street was built in the 1890s. The five-story home has been updated with elegant and functional 21st-century interiors–including an elevator, a greenhouse/studio, and a solarium–while retaining its turn-of-the-century charm. It was undoubtedly this quiet grandeur that won the heart of designer-author-socialite (and Anderson Cooper's mom) Gloria Vanderbilt, who lived here in the 1980s and 90s. The classic Manhattan townhouse was recently listed for $11,995,000.

Your guide to the Financial District, NYC’s oldest new downtown neighborhood

Located at the southernmost part of lower Manhattan–and at the center of the global financial universe–New York City's Financial District in many ways represents New York City to the world. Encompassing the area south of City Hall Park, with the corner of Wall and Broad Streets as its center, this bustling grid of streets is also a waterfront neighborhood, surrounded by New York Harbor and the East River. As a backdrop, the towering masts of South Street Seaport's tall ships recall the maritime history of the city's earliest days. The business of finance is still anchored here, but as with all New York City neighborhoods, change is around every corner, and the number of residents who call this downtown district home continues to grow.
