American supermodel Karlie Kloss and her husband, Joshua Kushner, have owned various homes together but were recently brought back to Kushner’s family business, Kushner Properties, as buyers. Kloss is notably recognized for her work as a Victoria’s Secret angel and in 2015, launched Kode With Klossy as a coding program for young girls. Her husband, Joshua Kushner, is the founder of venture capital firm Thrive Capital and while he does not have a role at his family’s reigning real estate company, the business was once led by his brother, Jared Kushner, former White House senior adviser and the son-in-law of former United States President Donald Trump.

Built in 1885, the Puck Building was acquired by Kushner Properties over three decades ago. The iconic Romanesque Revival property originally designed by Albert Wagner consists of nine stories and six limited edition penthouse units. In 2015, the Kloss and Kushner’s newly acquired unit was initially listed at a whopping $66 million. Since then, the space has been listed on and off the market as it was reportedly serving as a rental residence at $1.25 million a year. In March of 2019, the home was relisted at $42.5 million. With Kloss and Kushner only recently under contract, the final purchase price is not yet available to report. However, it was last listed for $42.5 million.

Kloss and Kushner’s newly acquired abode is known as Penthouse One of the historic building. As a limited edition of six, recently completed Penthouses, this duplex spans more than 7,200 square feet with 5,100 square feet of private outdoor space. The lavish loft melds together a modern aesthetic with custom finishes and prewar decoratives. With sweeping views of the bustling cityscape, the space boasts oversized windows, cast-iron columns, and barrel-vaulted ceilings. The home offers its own library, a cinema room, and terrace with lush putting greens and a hot tub. Other luxe amenities of the residence include a full-time doorman and concierge, in home service, and catering from the Chef’s Club by Food & Wine restaurant.

Adam Modlin of the Modlin Group holds the listing for this property.

About today's panelists:

• Modlin is Founder of Modlin Group, which has closed transactions in excess of $2 billion, including a record-setting $77 million New York single-family townhouse.
• Steinberg is one of New York’s most successful and prominent brokers, grossing over $150 million in sales yearly, and star of “The American Dream New York City” on WLNY-CBS.

Highlight quotes:

Modlin: "This quarantine has caused all of us to look inward and redefine what home means to us. This is a very unusual time... I expect people to come out of this with a strong desire to buy real estate. I think we'll see a resurgence of interest in single-family environments with outdoor space, townhouses, boutique condominiums with fewer units, and fully amenitized buildings... Now is the time to do your homework. Learn and develop an encyclopedic knowledge of comps. You need to know your numbers."

Steinberg: "There will be pent-up demand for purchasing real estate. I think our biggest challenge when we get back into business is going to be buyers and sellers' perspectives... It's going to take really seasoned professionals to be able to close a deal and do what's best for your seller/buyer... (Before,) you had a launch event for a new development with hundreds of brokers. I believe those days are over... There are deals to be made as long as they are fair and reasonable. There will be a lot of business being made if both sides (buyers and sellers) adjust."

Highlight quotes:

Debra Johnston: "I love the business of real estate. Each property is a specific project and experience... Watching the numbers of consumers online now looking at the properties, it's important to be out there and have all my properties represented properly."

Gary Quinn: "The biggest lesson of these times is to not take anything for granted. I've aligned with many people during this time, and you learn who's really there for you. Life is short and every moment we must be grateful to connect with clients, friends, family and more. We have to be grateful for the things that we have. When you stay in gratitude, it balances you.

The first panel of the day, Titans of Development, or, the “East Coast Kings,” was moderated by Fox Business Network‘s Cheryl Casone and included six of the most successful real estate developers in the New York/Florida areas: Mitchell Moinian, Don Peebles, Dan Kodsi, Louis Birdman, Shahab Karmely and Michael Stern. The group covered a variety of topics, including political changes in the market, international buyers making New York and Florida real estate investments, the development of Miami as a globally-recognized destination and the differences between the real estate markets in Miami and New York.

“It’s been a very exciting time in Miami, especially in the last 10 years,” began Louis Birman, CEO of Birman Real Estate Development and co-developer of One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects in Miami. “A lot of our sales have been driven out of Latin America and although that continues to be true, we’re also starting to see more interest out of other countries like in Europe and the Far East.”

Dan Kodsi, developer of Paramount Miami Worldcenter, CEO of Royal Palm Companies and the visionary behind Paramount Branded Developments, echoed that sentiment. “In the past 10 years, we’ve seen the world recognize Miami as a major gate way city. Now you meet people from Europe and China. You never used to see that…When you get named with cities like London, Paris and New York, that’s a big deal for Miami.” He also called out Miami’s downtown area as the one to watch out for: “From Brickell to Miami Design District, it’ll feel like a miniature Manhattan once it develops out.”

Mitchell Moinian, principal for The Moinian Group, also has an upcoming residential project in New York with the late and great Zaha Hadid, at 220 Eleventh Avenue; however, it is his 3 Hudson Boulevard development, that is garnering a lot of attention, given that the Hudson Yards area is set to be one of the next hotspots in Manhattan.

The second group, The Power Brokers, included top brokers and agents from key US markets. The panelists were Adam Modlin, Jeff Miller, Aaron Kirman, Olivia Hsu Decker, Richard Sternberg and Lisa Lippman. The group, moderated by Wall Street Journal‘s Peter Grant, discussed the changing climate of the luxury real estate market, as well as the impact of social media on the buying and selling process.

Olivia Hsu Decker, co-owner of Decker Bullock Sotheby’s International Realty with 11 offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, felt strongly that though social media allows brokers more visibility, nothing could and would replace the human connection. “Buying a home is like finding a husband or a wife,” she began. “You have to go to see it and make sure you can actually live there for the rest of your life. Nothing can replace that.”

In the last panel, The Hamptons, moderator Maneet Ahuja of CNBC led the group, which consisted of Matthew Breitenbach, Raphael Avigdor, Michael Putnam, Robert Canberg, John Brady, Marcy Braun, Doug Sabo and James Giugliano. The Hamptons is a very significant area for luxury New York real estate. When asked about the hottest Hamptons neighborhoods, the panel gave out a spattering of different opinions, including Water Mill, East Hampton and Sag Harbor, all of which are booming.

Also sponsored by Ultralux Interiors, the day was incredibly informative for attendees who came from all around the globe, who also had the opportunity to ask questions and receive expert opinions from the highly-esteemed panelists.
