Your guide to New York real estate and more
Off The MRKT - Where New York's, Real Estate, Life Style, and Culture Converge
Today we dive into Jess Stempel's NYC apartment filled with endless amounts of her beautiful art. This is an artist's dream apartment! In the heart of Manhattan's Financial District, Jess' brightly colored home is one you need to take inspiration from! Even her view of the New York Harbor is stunning.
Just launched 300 West 30th Street, the first new development condos located directly in The Penn District launches sales right as Meta moves into their offices next door at the Farley Building at Moynihan Hall. It’s a test to see if the area can evolve into a true residential neighborhood - and the sales team is willing to bet yes… they’ve already done a number of deals before officially launching sales!
The area surrounding 30th to 34th Streets and Seventh Ave to the River has felt disjointed from the rest of the city for years. Even after Hudson Yards created a new neighborhood of its own, it existed without a real connection to the rest of Midtown. Now, there is a sense of change, as The Penn District bridges the gap between Hudson Yards and Midtown West, creating for the first time a cohesive flow of elevated residential, office, retail, dining, and lifestyle experiences.
Residents have access to a chic and modern amenities package with a focus on seamlessly integrated outdoor space, perfect for co-working by day and entertaining by evening. Designed with natural materials in mind, 300 West 30th Street provides multiple outdoor amenities spaces. Residents can choose between an enchanting outdoor courtyard on the second floor with seating and lounge areas, a grill and outdoor kitchen for entertaining, and a fire pit, or the sophisticated open-air Sky Terrace on the 12th floor, with dramatic views of the Empire State Building, Hudson Yards, and the midtown skyline. The amenities also include a sleek gym with bountiful natural light and a residence lounge and co-working space with rooms that can be separated for privacy or expanded for entertaining, featuring an 8-person dining table with catering kitchenette for private events that opens directly to the terrace.
“300 West 30th Street is the newest addition to Manhattan’s most connected neighborhood and technology hub, as the Penn District evolves into a true live, work, play, destination,” said Aleksey Gavrilov and Joseph Grosso of the Gavrilov-Grosso Team at The Corcoran Group, handling sales on behalf of Corcoran New Development. "Everyone would love to live in a condominium that feels like a boutique hotel, and with high design by Workshop/APD and amenities in the center of everything, 300 West 30th Street is a unique offering for a primary home or pied-a-terre.”
Corcoran New Development and The Gavrilov-Grosso Team at Corcoran are exclusively handling the sales and marketing for 300 West 30th Street.

An Inspiring Collaboration by Cuban Rooted Founder Janet Diaz-Bonilla, Master Blender Francisco José “Don Pancho” Fernández Pérez and Artist, Mr. Humberto Benitez.

La Marielita Rum is thrilled to announce the launch of the inaugural blend of the premium hand-crafted blended Panamanian rum.
Led by Janet Diaz-Bonilla, the first Cuban-American immigrant woman to found and own a rum brand, La Marielita Rum is a proud collaboration of Janet Diaz-Bonilla and fellow Cuban rooted masterminds Francisco José “Don Pancho” Fernández Pérez, also known as the Godfather of Rum and artist Humberto Benitez.

La Marielita Rum is inspired by the 1980 Mariel Boatlift, an exodus initiated by a political movement where thousands of Cubans sought refuge at the Peruvian embassy. At six-years-old, Janet Diaz-Bonilla, alongside her parents, embarked on a journey from Mariel, Cuba to Key West, Florida, only to be transferred upon arrival to a holding camp for 53 days before being awarded their freedom. Janet embarked on this journey to craft La Marielita Rum to honor and celebrate hard work, dedication to family, and gratitude for freedom.

As CEO and founder, Janet brought together a team that defines and embodies Cuban heritage. Together Janet and world-renowned Cuban Master of Rum, Francisco José “Don Pancho” Fernández Pérez, skillfully formulated a rum with a distinctly unique bouquet of aromatic flavors distilled in Las Cabras de Pesé, Panama.

“I am fortunate to have the opportunity to collaborate with one of the world’s most gifted and respected master blenders and artists to tell my story through a genuinely delicious tasting experience,” says Janet Diaz-Bonilla. “We take great pride in the final result of our premium rum and are excited to share La Marielita Rum with the world.”

Acclaimed Cuban-American artist, Humberto Benitez, shares the founder’s roots and understood the importance of illustrating an image that encompassed the sentiments and authenticity of La Marielita’s story for the bottle’s label. “The painting I created for the label art of La Marielita Rum is a story of hope, determination, boundless spirit against the odds, and the beauty of those who carry that spirit over the horizon,” says Humberto Benitez. La Marielita Rum is aged in Bourbon curated American white oak casks for at least 18 Years with no additives or artificial flavorings. With a burnt toffee and oak aroma, the rum gradually transitions into cacao flavors as it grazes the palate; with layers of vanilla, coffee bean and orange blossom lingering, it then evolves into tenors of hazelnut and chocolate and ends with a smooth and balanced finish.

La Marielita Rum (SRP: $59.99) is currently available in Florida, California, and New York and also available nationwide at https://lamarielita.com/shop/.

New York City's luxury real estate market is known for show-stopping homes with hefty price tags. Below are three spectacular on-the-market penthouses that take living in Manhattan to new heights (literally!). I thought you might be interested in a round-up of one-of-a-kind spaces.
All three of these unbelievable penthouses give you the best NYC views and lifestyle — with floor-to-ceiling windows showing off the iconic skyline from every angle and amenities that give you everything you need without even leaving home. Plus: they're all on the market right now with closings underway, so you can drop everything and move in immediately.
A birds-eye view of Central Park, a white spiral staircase and a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle are the elements that make Penthouse 34 the prime listing at 200 East 59th Street, the sister building of 432 Park Avenue, one of the tallest (and most successful) residential towers in the Western Hemisphere. The penthouse shines for its soaring 14-foot ceilings and incredible floor-to-ceiling windows that place residents high above the intersection of the vibrant Upper East Side and Midtown East neighborhoods. The grand spaces are made all the more unique by their column-free interiors, an engineering feat accomplished by architecture firm CetraRuddy by pushing the interior support structures out to the exterior. The columns now proudly epitomize the building’s crisp, ultra-modern architecture and give it its iconic Manhattan-meets-Miami look. This particular listing also has massive private outdoor space, with a wraparound terrace as well as a covered rooftop deck offering plenty of room for a summertime lounge overlooking Central Park.

An iconic residential development in NYC, Waterline Square is more than 95% sold and this is the last opportunity to own a penthouse this impressive community that has housed celebs like Tom Holland and Zendaya and was the filming location for hit shows like And Just Like That... and Billions. Located in One Waterline Square, the stunning full-floor penthouse spans over 6,500 square feet and houses five beds and 6.5 baths. Sweeping views of Manhattan landmarks from the Empire State Building to Freedom Tower can be enjoyed through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as from a private terrace, complete with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace—perfect for entertaining. Rounding out the elegant residence is a truly spectacular amenities package unlike anything offered in NYC, which includes a tennis court, indoor gardening studio, recording studio, basketball court and skate park.
Fans of the Upper East Side will swoon over this one-of-a-kind triplex penthouse at the crown of 180 East 88th Street, the striking Carnegie Hill tower developed and designed by Joe McMillan's DDG. Currently on the market for $33 million, this amazing penthouse spans 5,508 square feet with an additional 3,500 square feet of private terrace space across all levels, including an expansive rooftop terrace overlooking Central Park at an elevation of 467 feet — the highest elevation on the UES. The home features panoramic views in all directions, two living room spaces — including one with a gas fireplace and wet-bar — a large dining area, eat-in kitchen, five bedrooms plus den, four full and two half baths, and an eye-catching sculptural spiral staircase leading to the upper-floor bedrooms and third-level roof terrace. The penthouse has been staged by IMG and can be purchased fully furnished.

Perfectly positioned on 200 linear feet of pristine oceanfront, The Perigon, a diamond-shaped building designed by international architecture firm OMA, has released a first look at its hotel-style amenities private to owners, offering an unprecedented level of service and experiences in Miami Beach. Blurring the line between condominium and resort, the inspiring spaces were thoughtfully designed by Tara Bernerd, one of the most sought-after hospitality designers in the world, to deliver a palatial lifestyle evocative of a five-star hotel. Bernerd leveraged her decades of experience designing iconic properties from Belgravia to Vienna to create over 20,000 square feet of amenities that provide both exclusivity and an idyllic setting for connection and socializing.

“When we first launched The Perigon, our buyers were struck by the tower’s remarkable design that is seemingly afloat above lush gardens,” said Camilo Miguel, Jr., CEO of Mast Capital. “The architecture’s slender columns, soaring lines and wraparound terraces maximize the indoor-outdoor experience, and we had a clear vision to use this additional space to bring resort amenities and experiences into the condominium setting. With reservations successfully converted to contracts, and incredible demand for the limited remaining inventory, we’re proud to reveal how The Perigon’s amenities are as impressive as the residences themselves, and a true extension of one’s home. The amenity collection will cultivate a community for private owners to enjoy this enriched everyday lifestyle together; with every need being met by a team of butlers and expert concierges ready to make any request a reality.”
For the design of The Perigon’s amenities, Bernerd looked to the building’s masterful architecture. Residents arrive through a grand yet inviting lobby featuring honed white travertine flooring in a diamond pattern, a nod to the building’s distinctive shape, and finished in an Italian stone trim to connect to Miami’s natural textures. Warm, organic and bright, the interiors evoke the same sophistication as the European Riviera, a design choice inspired by the many seaside travels of The Perigon’s future residents.

“We envisaged the residents at The Perigon to be well travelled, design-savvy and highly cultured,” said Tara Bernerd. “We have created interiors that speak to the architecture of the building, with a conversation between interior and exterior design, that would appeal to this individual and their penchant for an international design sophistication. The amenity collection epitomizes this ethos, with finishes and furnishings chosen to evoke a refined relaxation, so that it truly is a destination in and of itself.
The amenities in this initial reveal are located on two levels and include a highly anticipated spa, featuring a mixture of materials and fabrics selected both for their authenticity to the area and their connection to sought-after natural environments. A billiards room was designed by Bernerd as a refreshing, mature approach to a game room. The warmly lit space is located just off the lobby and features a floor-to-ceiling glass interior wall to invite participation and spectatorship. The building’s signature diamond pattern is repeated here via its clever wood flooring. The sunrise lounge and hospitality kitchen stay consistent with the building’s soft and natural color palette, with light wood paneling and a dramatic stone bar for entertaining and private events.

An awe-inspiring indoor-outdoor conservatory doubling as a breakfast lounge and terrace stands apart as one of the most hotel-like amenities at The Perigon. Residents will start their days in the serene, dedicated space, where a barista will be available upon request to serve hot or iced coffee to a resident’s liking. The staff at The Perigon will always ensure that every owner’s ideal daily morning routine, from reading the local paper to enjoying sunny-side-up eggs, will be realized.
“The conservatory on the north side of The Perigon will be a dreamy, light-filled space encased in glass with lush garden views,” Bernerd said. “We were influenced by the notion of a shared breakfast area, which is an amenity you rarely see in condominiums, incorporating a wood floor inlaid with diamond-shaped white travertine inserts, as a contemporary take on iconic country house floors.”
Photo via @theperigonmiamibeach
The wine room and garden on the building’s south side is another unique space inspired by serenity, with views overlooking the property’s waterfall garden. The space will keep nearly 450 bottles of the most refined wine selections in stock and will offer storage services to residents with their own prized collections. A top sommelier will be on hand to host private tastings both at the bar and in the garden, while a celebrated chef will design a variety of pairing menus depending on the season. Bernerd continued, “We envisioned a room where the world’s finest wines will be enjoyed and stored and designed interiors that evoke this level of exclusivity.”
The Perigon features an expansive collection of amenities in addition to the spaces newly revealed. This includes a resident-only oceanfront restaurant, speakeasy bar, oceanfront swimming pool, poolside cabanas and sunbeds, a terraced fitness center with ocean views, children’s playroom, private salon and a screening room.
Photo via @theperigonmiamibeach
Starting at $4.15 million, The Perigon offers 72 two- to four-bedroom condominiums ranging from 2,100 to 6,700 square feet, with eight private guest suites offered to residents only. The project is expected to break ground in early 2023.
The Perigon is a joint venture between Mast Capital, one of South Florida’s most active real estate development and investment firms, and Starwood Capital Group, a leading global private investment firm. Sales and marketing are exclusively handled by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

Related: 3 Unique Thanksgiving Spots
The crown jewel of Black Stallion Estate Winery’s Cabernet portfolio, the 2018 Transcendent is a wine of true depth and sophistication. It exhibits aromas of cigar box, raspberry, black plum and cocoa powder. Flavors of black cherry, graphite and juicy acidity intermingle perfectly on the palette. The 2018 Transcendent is a full-bodied wine with “Rutherford dust”, silky tannins and a long finish.
The Etude Carneros Pinot Noir is a true reflection of the winery’s estate vineyard, Grace Benoist Ranch. A blend of the best grapes from individual vineyard parcels on the Ranch, this wine tells the story of a particular vintage from a unique place.
This wine showcases the elegant purity of truly great Riesling. Sourced from cool climate vineyards, Eroica shows exuberant freshness with inviting stone fruit, citrus, and floral notes.
Thanksgiving Pairing: Riesling is a perfect match for a variety of dishes including mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, spinach mornay. It is also an excellent choice for dessert and goes fabulously with tart desserts like peach cobbler and apple pie.
This Sauvignon Blanc shows a true sense of place, coming from outstanding sites in the Rutherford American Viticultural Area (AVA), with the majority from our own estate vineyards on the Eastern Rutherford bench. Rutherford, which is located in the heart of Napa Valley, has the perfect climate and soils that are ideal for Sauvignon Blanc.
To elevate your Thanksgiving turkey, have a glass of the Benefizio Pomino Riserva DOC 2019 (SRP $47). Pomino Riserva is a white wine made from Chardonnay grapes. After an initial fruity and floral impression, Pomino Riserva offers candied orange peel aromas that progress into vanilla, cinnamon, roasted hazelnut and tingling bite of ginger. On the palate it shows great elegance and structure, with a creamy texture and a long finish.
Let the evening begin with a special delivery of rosé to your door. Vibrant and fruity, this sweet champagne is bursting with aromas of wild strawberry and cream. Accentuated with a fine mousse of bright coral-colored bubbles, pair it with dark chocolate and berries for a romantic night to remember.
The 2015 Dolce is fresh and fruitful, with aromas of orange, lime, and apricot along with sweet floral notes of honeysuckle. This Dolce lands on the palate with a coating and pleasing thickness that carries the citrus flavors long into the finish. Key lime pie comes to mind as bakery spices combine with a creamy texture and mouth watering citrus flavors.
A Cabernet Sauvignon with a true sense of place, a medley of aromas is apparent: black plum, currant, molasses ginger cookie, vanilla, fennel, and nutmeg. A bold, intense palate further indicates this wine’s aging potential, boasting flavors of rich black plums, berries, sweet licorice, and hints of caraway seed. Aging for 19 months in French oak barrels (100% new).
Pairs well with: Beef short ribs and lamb tangine.
Fruit for this wine comes from two North Coast counties. One vineyards tends to be a bit warmer, giving the wine tropical aromas and flavors. While the cooler site adds bright gooseberry and crisp acid structure. Together they create a lively and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with great balance that offers something for everyone.

Gran Centenario, Mexico’s #1 tequila, proudly announces the U.S. launch of Gran Centenario Cristalino. Founded in 1857 by Lazaro Gallardo, the first ever Tequila Master Distiller in history, Gran Centenario is rooted in over 150 years of Mexican heritage and tradition and continues to expand its historic family portfolio with this exquisite new release.

Handcrafted in the highlands of Jalisco, all expressions of Gran Centenario (Plata, Reposado, Añejo, Leyenda, and now, Cristalino) are produced with 100% Blue Weber Agaves at Ex-Hacienda Los Camichines. Expertly crafted using the brand’s proprietary process, ‘Selección Suave’ - in which newly rested tequilas are blended with the smoothest aged reserves - Gran Centenario Cristalino uses the finest Añejo and Extra Añejo tequilas matured in American oak barrels. A first for the brand, the blended aged tequila is then finished in Calvados casks for a few months, before being filtered through a meticulous process with Mexican silver, transforming the aged tequila into a crystal-clear liquid. The resulting spirit has the smoothness and depth of an aged tequila, with hints of fresh apple and oak coming from the Calvados cask finish.

“It’s an exciting time for the Tequila category in the U.S., with new and existing tequila enthusiasts increasingly seeking out more premium products with different elements in finishing and aging,” said Alex Coronado, Head of Production and Master Distiller at Gran Centenario Tequila. “Gran Centenario Cristalino is a remarkable spirit and marks the first time we have finished our tequila in Calvados casks, and used silver in our Cristalino filtration process. Producing an unparalleled taste to any other tequila out there, the result is a clear tequila, rich in notes of sweet agave, toffee, fresh apple, and oak.”

Gran Centenario Cristalino arrives in the U.S as the Cristalino category experiences exponential growth.

As the latest offering from Mexico’s number one selling tequila, Gran Centenario Cristalino offers a truly transformative, smooth yet complex profile from the very first sip.
● Sight: Flawless clarity with hints of silver.
● Aroma and palate: Sweet notes of cooked agave and toffee aromas with a touch of fresh apple, and oak.

Ginger is a plant that was originally from Southeast Asia, and it’s commonly used in cooking to add flavor. The stem of the plant is what is most commonly used as a spice, and it can be used fresh, dried, or powdered. Ginger has a plethora of health benefits, especially pertaining to digestive health.
This article will outline several science-backed benefits of ginger as well as provide an explanation for how to incorporate more ginger into your diet.
Ginger has been used for many years in traditional and eastern medicine. Historically it’s been used to soothe digestion and fight off viral infections like the common cold, for example.
Thanks to ginger’s main active component, gingerol, the plant holds many powerful medicinal properties. In fact, gingerol is the main bioactive compound in ginger and is the reason it’s so healing.
Here are some of the main health benefits of ginger:
Gingerol has been shown to accumulate in the digestive tract and facilitate anti-inflammatory effects. Many unpleasant digestive symptoms such as those relating to irritable bowel syndrome, for example, may be a result of inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, looking for ingredients that exert anti-inflammatory effects can be quite helpful to mitigate symptoms (1).
Additionally, research shows that ginger can soothe discomfort associated with indigestion. Much indigestion can result from slowed gastric emptying, and ginger can help speed up that emptying, therefore helping to reduce symptoms of indigestion.
Although research is still new, there is some evidence to suggest that consuming ginger has blood sugar-lowering effects. The existing studies focus on individuals with type 2 diabetes and suggest that patients who consumed 2 grams of ginger powder daily reduced their fasting blood sugar level by 12% (2).
Additionally, hemoglobin A1C, a marker for long term blood sugar, might be lowered from consuming a ginger root supplement regularly (3).
However, it’s important to realize that the research on ginger and blood sugar is still quite new and there needs to be more studies with more participants to be able to confirm the potential blood-sugar lowering benefits of ginger.
Most people are drawn to habits that have been shown to preserve and even improve brain function. Luckily, ginger is one of those special foods that can help protect against age-related decline in brain function.
Because gingerol is such a powerful medicinal compound, it has been shown to inhibit inflammatory reactions in the brain, which in turn reduces brain aging and cognitive decline. In addition to the bioactive gingerol, there may also be powerful antioxidants in the ginger plant that contribute to the inhibition of inflammation in the brain (4).
There is even research to suggest that ginger can even improve reaction time and memory.
Gingerol contains many antioxidant and anti-microbial properties which can help fight off illnesses and keep your immune system strong (5).
Consuming ginger as a supplement or as a part of your diet can be especially therapeutic during the colder fall and winter months as it can help boost the immune system and ward off infections.
Ginger extract can inhibit bacterial growth, and can also be helpful to fight off viruses that cause the common cold, flu, or other respiratory infections.
There are many ways to add ginger into your diet. Luckily, ginger is available in many forms so there are many options as to how you can add ginger to your routine.
You can simply start cooking with more ginger by peeling and mincing fresh ginger and adding it to a stir-fry. You can also blend fresh or dried ginger into your smoothie for a flavor and digestive boost.
If you’re looking for a way to consume ginger on the go, choose something like the energy wellness shot from Naked Nutrition, which is super convenient and healthy. The addition of apple cider vinegar helps to aid digestion and provides an immune system boost. These ingredients help activate digestive enzymes to better break down your food and improve nutrient absorption.
While adding fresh and powdered ginger is tasty, it’s difficult to get an effective therapeutic dose of ginger without opting for a concentrated source such as in a ginger health shot or a supplement. If you’re looking to reap the most benefit from ginger, opting for a concentrated source like Naked Fire Shot might be the way to go.

Here’s how much your favorite characters would pay for rent in 2022
Who hasn’t watched a sit-com and wondered how nice it would be to live in the main character’s shoes, have their job, their friends and above all, their apartment. However, by instigating this desire in viewers, what tv shows have also done is set unrealistic expectations when it comes to rent and live in big cities such as New York.
To disprove these expectations, interior design studio Hovia made a list of popular sitcom apartments and calculated how much the characters living in them would have to pay for rent in 2022 according to data from the experts at RubyHome.
Probably one the most popular apartments in TV history, the purple walled apartment has had at least two generations dream for the perfect New York condo.
As we know from the series, Monica and Rachel pay a ridiculous low rent for it, as Monica’s grandmother left her a rent-controlled lease which allowed them to pay only $200 a month. However, a two-bedroom apartment in West Village, Manhattan just like theirs can today be found for an average of $6,554 a month.
The Upper West Side apartment shared by Ted and Marshall has also become a statement of TV apartments, being the setting for unforgettable scenarios such as the infamous “Interventions”, the group’s holiday celebrations and so much more.
A real two bedroom in the neighborhood would today be up for rent for an average of $7,100 a month, a number that Marshall and Ted would probably be able to afford with their salaries as a lawyer and an architect.
Sheldon and Leonard’s Pasadena apartment, as well as Penny’s, are explained to be in the ‘Los Robles Apartment Building’, an apartment complex one block away from the City Hall and adjacent to a lamp store. The building with its infamous out of order elevator has at least five floors and sixteen apartments.
The main character’s apartment is on the fourth floor, and it is a spacious two-bedroom which in 2022 would be up for rent for an average of $2,894, the least expensive of the list. Penny’s apartment 4B, as it seems to be smaller than Sheldon and Leonard’s, might even be cheaper.
Primary filming location for almost all ‘New Girl’ episodes, the Loft almost serves as a fifth main character, as the story begins with Jess moving in with the three guys, and then it unfolds from there. Located in the Arts District, Los Angeles, the loft is a three bedroom that the characters converted into a four bedroom to split the rent even further.
A similar loft in the neighborhood would today be worth an average of $4,800 a month, which the characters might just be able to afford.
Inherited from her mother and therefore owned by Meredith, the large house on Queen Ann Hill, Seattle, has basically seen almost every character live in it, from Meredith’s fellow interns to the next generations of doctors of Grey Sloane Memorial Hospital once she moved out to live with Derek in the woods.
The house has three bedrooms, and to rent a similar place in 2022, the monthly costs would be of an average of $4,200 a month.
Yet another legendary apartment in TV history, 64 Perry Street is and always will be Carrie Bradshaw apartment, as it has been recently used once again for the series’ revival last year on HBO Max.
A one-bedroom apartment similar to Carrie’s infamous one on the Upper East Side would cost in average $4,072 a month, meaning that the girl would most likely not be able to afford it with her writer salary.
Speaking of writer salaries, Richard Castle’s was an entirely different story. Castle’s is in fact a best-selling author who follows Detective Kate Beckett as a consultant on cases to overcome his writer’s block and get back to write thriller novels.
His apartment in SoHo, New York, is a two-bedroom to accommodate his teen daughter, and in real life it would cost a whopping $10,450 a month, as SoHo is among the most expensive neighborhoods of the city. However, it is possible to believe that thanks to his successful career, Castle would easily be able to afford it.
A spokesperson for Hovia commented on the findings: “When writing a TV show, showing a realistic depiction of what life would be for the characters based on their salaries might not be a priority, however when watching any sitcom or similar, viewers will probably catch up on whether their favorite character could be able to afford their apartments.”
“The reality is that most of those apartments are often more expensive than it might look, as they're located in popular neighborhoods of big cities, which combined with today’s average prices will prove just how unrealistic expectations are when watching TV.”
“In fact, ‘Friends’ seems to be the only show that attempts to explain just how Monica and Rachel are able to afford such a luxurious space, which goes in stark contrast to Carrie Bradshaw’s living arrangements, which is among the most unrealistic of all.”
The study was conducted by Hovia, who will help you achieve your dream space with the world’s best collection of made to order quality wallpapers.

The Brooklyn Tower
A building that can see it all The Brooklyn Tower, Brooklyn's first supertall designed by SHoP Architects and developed by JDS, as the new NYC landmark's sculptural crown approaches completion, marking a cinematic new beacon for the skyline.
Views have historically been one of the biggest selling points for both New York and international home buyers. The tower (standing at a height of over 1,000 feet) arguably commands the most stunning perspectives of the city.
From the 53rd to 92nd floor of the tower, where residences are currently for sale, one can enjoy the NYC skyline and the views onto an impressive number of more than 15 individual New York landmarks including The Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, Chrysler Building, the Atlantic Ocean, East River, New York Harbor, The Brooklyn, Verrazano, Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges, Governor’s Island and the Barclays Center. From the building’s high vantage point, residents will have sightlines over Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park, down Flatbush Avenue extension and Downtown Brooklyn all the way to JFK airport.
The tower’s transformative contribution to the city skyline creates an expression of Brooklyn’s vibrant past and future during a time when the prospect of a stunning view is more prized than ever. With its innovative hexagonal silhouette designed by SHoP creating more view corridors and perspectives, the design works to enrich the views from the building.
At 93 stories tall, The Brooklyn Tower is one of a limited number of buildings achieving such elevation in New York City, joining a small group of prime offerings such as 111 West 57th Street and 432 Park Avenue, also by JDS and SHoP Architects.
