Autumn 2003 Real Estate Matters
Autumn 2003: “Where does the planning process for rebuilding Ground Zero stand? We know some things: There is a Libeskind ‘design’/master plan; there are the Silverstein interests; Skidmore Owings & Merrill has been designated ‘associated’ architects; there is a memorial competition underway; there is discussion about civic institutions occupying parts of the rebuilt area, including the City Opera and the 92nd St. Y; there is an invitation for ideas about a museum commemorating the events of 9/11.”
Spring 2003 Real Estate Matters
Spring 2003: “Round two of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation’s effort to secure a plan for the reconstruction of Ground Zero has resulted in a ‘winner’ from among six competitors, a scheme set forth by European architect Daniel Libeskind. Suitably pleased at his election, Libeskind radiated awe and humility across the front page of the New York Times, almost forgetting, as if one could, the originating causes of the commission. A brief review of the six entries is included in section 9 of this issue of Matters.”
Autumn 2002 Real Estate Matters
“Autumn 2002 finds New York’s real estate market in a state of pause. There is some high-profile, high-priced buying and selling of a few major commercial office properties in Manhattan. But most fronts speak of uncertainty….Some analysts count the pause as cyclical, the consequence of stock market declines of the past twenty-four months linked to more general political uncertainties of the moment for the city—in part the consequences of 9/11.”
Summer 2002 Real Estate Matters
Summer 2002 was the inaugural issue of a quarterly newsletter published on behalf of the Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute, the associated William Newman Programs in Real Estate at Baruch College/CUNY and the CUNY Urban Consortium. It was part of the publications program at the Institute to bridge the gap between Properties, the Institute’s periodical review of real estate issues in the city, and the Institute’s Web site.
