Leslie Modell was hosted by Haute Media Group Cofounder Seth Semilof. Watch their conversation below.

The topics included Modell’s illustrious career from a native New Yorker beginning with hands-on experience as a real estate rookie to her ascendancy in luxury real estate partnering with Sotheby’s International Realty.

Modell has developed lasting relationships with many of New York’s elite and is an expert in dealing with the world’s most sophisticated high-end clientele. She recently launched the Global Luxury Property Network Group with other top-producing Sotheby’s International Realty brokers, a networking group connecting industry leaders and innovators worldwide. Modell, Senior Global Real Estate Advisor, Associate Broker, and founder of The Leslie S. Modell Team, is a top producing broker in Manhattan who was ranked among the top 10 agents in the Sotheby’s International Realty East Side Manhattan Brokerage for 2019 and 2020 and among the top 1% in sales of Realogy Brokerage Group’s agent network from 2015 to 2018.

Here are some of the questions and answers from the exclusive interview with Modell.

Seth Semilof: After college [studying sociology and psychology], what did you do Leslie?

Leslie Modell: I pursued my music career with various different entrepreneurial businesses in between. Then, somewhere around 2004, I started to get the real estate bug. We were moving around a lot within Long Island to New York, etc., and I said, “looks like a fun job.”  I am a people person. I love to talk, and I am a good salesperson. I have always done sales my entire life, so I thought that the connection was very strong for me to branch out into real estate.

SS: When you got into the real estate business, what was your strategy coming in as a rookie?

LM: As a rookie, it is really important to get in at the base. Get your foundation set and that foundation will carry you the rest of your career. When I started, I did some hardcore walking to various buildings, introducing myself to different doormen, understanding floor plans understanding, researching different buildings, and getting educated. That is the most important takeaway of today: being an educated agent is everything. Knowing exactly the questions somebody will ask you about a specific building because typically it is the same question. If you are one step ahead of the game, you are always going to be that much more educated to someone and to give a feeling of trust and security to that seller or that buyer.

SS: You started small to get the singles and doubles and grew. Tell us how you are able to be successful in that.

LM: It is all about networking, getting your voice heard, and getting your brand out there. I actually have a social media company I work with specifically for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. You have to get the word out. You have to keep doing deal after deal after deal. Get seasoned. Get confident because the confidence plays. I was never afraid of the price point because if you can do a one bedroom, you could do a four bedroom. Once you get the confidence to build your business and build the momentum, you go to the next level. That is why I tell people in my team there is no deal too small because that studio buyer four years later, could become that three- or four-bedroom buyer.

SS: Where do you see the city [New York] right now?

LM: The city is definitely bouncing back. Those COVID discounts are in the rearview mirror. There are some discounted and there are some values still out in the fields but not like there was. I have personally been involved in multiple offer situations, so I do see a really good upward trajectory toward getting out of this cycle and moving into the next cycle. My business personally has been phenomenal. I have lots of contracts out. I have lots of my listings either closed or in contracts. We are certainly getting traction in the market.

SS: Where do you see your brand going over the next three to five years? Tell us a little about what you foresee in the future.

LM: I see myself growing constantly. I always know there is another plateau to reach, so right now, I have been building out my team. I have three people on my team and the next step would be growing that team, constantly evolving, constantly growing, and maybe getting into new development in the future. The sky is the limit for everyone in this industry and that is why I love it. Nothing is too far of a reach. You have a goal, you set your goal, and you go for it.

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.

Taylor Swift is not only an 11-time Grammy winning singer-songwriter and iconic popstar but also a surprising real estate investor. The acclaimed American artist has spent $50 million on a single cobblestoned street in the Tribeca neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York. Beside her $18 million townhome at 153 Franklin St., she also owns three units at 155 Franklin St. totaling near $30 million. In 2014, Swift purchased an $19.95 million penthouse duplex at 155 Franklin St. from “Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson. Later on, she purchased another $9.75 million unit in the same building.

Other notable residents of the charming brick building include Orlando Bloom, comedian Aziz Ansari, former New York Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh, and Steven Soderbergh. Now another unit, on the fourth floor of 155 Franklin, has sold for $9.99 million. While the space was intended to serve as a rental, the buyer reportedly fell in love with the unit and purchased it on the spot crowning them the title of Taylor’s swift’s new neighbor.

The classic 19th-century building formerly served as the Sugarloaf Warehouse before its conversion into a 6.5 story residential space. Spanning 3,532 square feet, the newly purchased Tribeca unit features four bedrooms and three baths. The marvelous great room highlights corner exposure, a woodburning fireplace, and oversized windows for plentiful natural lighting. The open chef’s kitchen is equipped with a quaint breakfast bar. The luxurious primary bathroom encapsulates a spa like atmosphere and offers a dressing room and private seating area.

Mary Kate Olsen

Formerly a child actress in “Full House” and “New York Minute,” Mary Kate Olsen has certainly grown and adopted a different lifestyle over the years. Now, she and her twin sister Ashley Olsen are primarily known for their luxury fashion label, The Row. In 2015, Mary Kate married Olivier Sarkozy, a French banker and half brother of former French president Nicolas Sarkozy. Earlier this year, the duo officially split and finalized their divorce after five years of marriage.

In the process, Olsen lost their shared NYC townhouse to Sarkozy who has legal ownership of the property. In 2014, Sarkozy purchased the Midtown East home from artist David Deutsch for $13.5 million through a limited liability company. Now, after the former couple’s divorce, their once humble abode is being listed on the market at $11.5 million, $2 million less than its purchasing price. Initially, when Olsen and Sarkozy purchased the property, they planned to execute renovations with Montalba Architects. Unfortunately, those plans never came into fruition with Olsen and Sarkozy never actually moving into the home.

Designed in 1921, this historic residence once served as part of an enclave of artists. One hundred years ago, architects Edward Dean and William Bottomley designed the home while it was reportedly commissioned by a banking and railroad heiress. Notable former residents of the century old home include actress Katherine Hepburn, composer Stephen Sondheim, journalist Dorothy Thompson, and book editor Maxwell Perkins, who worked with F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway.

While the five story Manhattan mansion is currently unfinished, it boasts some impressive architectural elements. Stepping into the 8,700-square-foot Regency style house, the expansive space presents 22-foot coffered ceilings for an airy atmosphere. To complement the open space, the home offers numerous arches windows and doorways for plentiful natural lighting. The residence emulates a modern aesthetic with its undone white rooms, but the intricate library serves as a stark contrast with sharp dark wood paneling. Stepping outside, the exterior features a sizable shared garden, a rare amenity in New York, and the lush space has been endearingly deemed a “fairy tale” garden.

Michael Bolla of Sotheby’s International Realty, East Side Manhattan Brokerage, holds the listing for this property.

Commonly referred to as one of the most influential musical figures of the 20^th century, Bowie was widely recognized as a glamorous star with dramatic makeup, remarkable style, and unmatched stage presence. Although the English singer-songwriter unfortunately passed in 2016 due to cancer, his lasting legacy is still apparent in the touches he left behind including his longtime Manhattan apartment.

The New York City property was purchased by Bowie in 1999 for a price of $3.81 million. Located in the Nolita neighborhood, the area offers a charming and chic essence perfectly synonymous with his lively image.

Less than a month after its listing, the property has secured a buyer and the home is currently in contract.

Bowie's former longtime residence spans over 5,000 square feet of living space and includes four bedrooms.

The iconic Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Residences is making its way to the Sunshine State. The latest addition to the Waldorf Astoria family is set to alter and redefine Miami’s skyline as we know it. 

The recently-launched Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami will be the tallest residential and hotel tower south of New York City. The tower is set to measure 1,049 feet. Led by concept designers Sieger Suarez Architects in collaboration with Carlos Ott, and architecture by Sieger Suarez, along with California-based interior design firm BAMO, this project was created not only to be a luxury residential and hospitality tower but a unique, freestanding sculpture in the sky, unlike anything built before. 

“We differentiated this cube-style architecture by tilting the first cube upward. From there, we offset the other cubes and pushed the top cube out even further, providing an illusion that the tower is even taller than it is,” says Charles Sieger. 

This project also marks another collaboration between developer PMG, Sieger Suarez Architects, and design architect Carlos Ott. The “supertall” skyscraper will rise over Biscayne Bay with a monumental height structure of nine spiraling offset cubes designed to be evenly stacked, tilted, and rotated upwards, wrapped in what can be referred to as “glass skin.” Despite its complex design, the modern sculptural exterior offers residents and guests 360-degree views of the surrounding Downtown and Atlantic landscapes. 

“The exterior glass skin design of Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami impacts the experience of those residing inside the tower. It offers a different, breath-taking view from each residence, kitchen, balcony, or bedroom. The shifted nature of the stacked cubes creates a perspective that is completely unique, depending on where you are within,” says Carlos Ott. 

Internationally-renowned interior design firm BAMO drew inspiration from the rich history of the Waldorf brand and the inherent vibe that comes with living in the awe-inspiring tower. 

“Our design work is guided by the awareness that the human experience and one’s frame of mind can be influenced by their surroundings. In designing for the Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami, our goal was to create an experience that felt transcendent, inspiring a sense of awe as you arrive, and in exploring further, a sense of discovery and reflection,” said Anne Wilkinson, Principal of BAMO. 

Recently, the Waldorf Astoria Miami Residences opened its one-of-a-kind sales office in downtown Miami. Built like an experiential museum experience, the gallery features a 24-foot scale model of the building as well as a full 3 bedroom model residence. Inside the space, guests can experience video simulations of the views they will experience from residences in the towers and a beautiful model of the Miami skyline with the new building within it.

The company hosted a VIP event on Thursday, June 17th where notable attendees included: PMG Managing Partners Kevin Maloney, Ryan Shear and Dan Kaplan, Greybrook Realty Partners, Mohari Hospitality, S2 Development, Mayor Levine Cava, Mayor Suarez, PMG’s in-house sales team, PMG Residential, and concept designers Charles M. Sieger and Carlos Ott.

Guests were treated to champagne and drinks, live music, delicious hors d'oeuvres, and tours of the model residences.

“Every single day people come to our city because they want to live in the most prosperous, free, and innovative city on the planet," said Mayor Francis X. Suarez. "We are so proud of this iconic project that will redefine who we are as a city.”

In 2016, Anthony Bourdain first rented the luxe Manhattan apartment for $13,000 per month. The space became home to the travel documentarian for two years until his unfortunate passing in June of 2018. A mere two months later, the celebrity chef’s former residence was placed on the market at a price of $14,200 per month. The space was rented out only a month after its listing. However, three years after Bourdain’s passing, the residence is once more being listed on the rental market. This time the home is being offered at a reduced price of $12,000 per month. Bourdain also owned an Upper East Side apartment with his then wife Ottavia Busia that sold for $3.3 million about a year after his passing. A documentary film revolving around his life titled "Roadrunner" is set to be released on July 16.

Located at the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, now known as the Deutsche Bank Center, Bourdain’s former apartment spans 1,200 square feet and includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms. As one of the top luxury condominiums in Manhattan, the residence features top of the line amenities and panoramic views of the dazzling cityscape and scenic Hudson River. The interior space offers floor-to-ceiling windows, ultra-modern kitchen appliances, and an expansive closet. The building amenities include a full-time doorman, concierge service, health club, spa, lounge, screening room, landscaped sundeck, and private garage. The apartment is perfectly located in the heart of a bustling Manhattan neighborhood and home to some of the most coveted stores and restaurants on the island.

After what seems like an infinity of waiting, New York City has officially re-opened, lifting their remaining COVID19 restrictions as the city moves into post-pandemic, record-low case homeostasis. With these newfound unrestricted freedoms, the art and culture scene that New York City is so famously recognized for is now able to finally resume.

It’s been a long-awaited moment for art aficionados in New York City, but at last, the exciting art world can continue to take strides forward. The re-introduction of interactive installation pieces like Yayoi Kusama’s renowned infinity mirrored rooms to exhibitions like Cosmic Nature delights art-loving New York City residents who have been waiting for this moment for many months.

Kusama’s whimsical and obsessional paintings, sculptures, and pieces inspire and have been showcased at the New York Botanical Garden Cosmic Nature exhibition since April of 2021. Though the currently viewable pieces are and have been available to the general public for the past few months, after being delayed to open due to the pandemic for a year, the alluring and grandiose infinity rooms have tantalized visitors and art-connoisseurs who, until soon, have only been able to view them from the outside.

At long last, on August 3rd, 2021, Kusama’s most recently commissioned Infinity Room- Illusion Inside the Heart (2020) will be open for public exploration. This infinity room, from the outside, incorporates a glass and polished stainless steel reflective cube that aims to mirror the surrounding botanical topography. The interior of the piece features lights and designs replicated and reproduced over many mirrors in order to create an illusion of inescapable vastness and continuation. Kusama’s sculptures, paintings, and outdoor installations are both striking and breathtaking, and seamlessly fit with the New York Botanical Garden’s landscape, but her infinity mirrored rooms, like the aforementioned Illusion Inside the Heart, astound and invoke wonder.

Tickets to enter the entire botanical garden exhibition are available on sale this week, as well as separate timed tickets just to enter Kusama’s new infinity room piece, though the tickets notoriously sell out, so purchasing quickly is advised.

The luxurious Manhattan abode was once home to John Stewart, comedian and former “Daily Show” host who sold the property in 2014 for $17.5 million to financier Parag Pande and filmmaker Ritu Singh Pande. Seven years later, Shawn Levy and his wife, Serena, purchased the home on April 1 for a price of $13 million via a trust. However, in the short two months following, Levy “has recently committed to filming on the West Coast and Europe for the foreseeable future—and the family will not be able to spend time in New York City after all,” according to the listing team led by Danny Davis at The Corcoran Group. This has led the Levy’s to list their former Manhattan abode on the market for $15 million.

As the largest and last penthouse to sell at 40 Bleecker in New York City’s NoHo neighborhood, this condominium is the highest priced property in the newly constructed building. The penthouse consists of the top two floors of the 1900s commercial building, which was converted into loft-style condominiums in 2004. The ultramodern interiors were designed by Ryan Korban although the Levy’s did undergo some minor renovations during their short stay such as painting over some wallpapers. The lavish space spans 6,280 square feet with five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. The home includes two living rooms, a large family room, multiple entertaining areas, office, and two outdoor terraces. According to the listing, “the apartment feels like a house in a doorman condo.”

NYCxDESIGN announced a new competition called IMPACTxDESIGN to transform New York City’s design scene. The program is in partnership with Caesarstone and the Design Trust for Public Space.

The IMPACTxDESIGN program calls all designers to show off their talents to further public engagement in Dumbo, Brooklyn, and downtown Manhattan. The new competition program aims to enhance public space and foster public engagement.

Design submissions are open until April 8. Design proposals must transform existing public places. The proposals should bring people together offering a place to slow down and appreciate the city’s beauty and fresh air. The designers must use Caesarstone’s quartz as their primary material.

The program will announce the two winning designers in May 2021. The winners will be awarded $10,000 each and the opportunity to work alongside NYCxDESIGN, Caesarstone, the Design Trust for Public Space, Dumbo Improvement District, and Downtown Alliance to install their designs. Not only that, the winning designers can make their mark in the city and gain exposure. The installations will be revealed this fall, before the NYCxDESIGN festival.

“Public space is one of New York’s most important assets. How we design, imagine and create these areas will impact New Yorkers for generations,” reported Executive Director of the Design Trust for Public Space Matthew Clarke.

“We are confident the program participants will create inspiring spaces with our beautiful and durable materials that will allow people to enjoy their surroundings and shared experiences,” Caesarstone Vice President of Marketing Elizabeth Margles explained.

The winning installations will remain in their location for at least one year.

NYCxDESIGN is a non-profit organization that organizes year-round activities to support and provide opportunities for New York City designers. Its mission is to help rebuild and re-energize the city as a design destination and creative center.

Natiivo Miami and the Evolution of the Built Environment in Miami

A special conversation with Keith Menin, Alex Xakoustis, and Raymond Fort, the three industry leaders who have joined forces to bring to life Natiivo Miami, the revolutionary for-sale, homesharing-friendly development located in Downtown Miami. REGISTER.

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Kristin Ehrgott: "Typically, the inventory would drive the demand, but now the market is being driven by the demand of the buyers. I just put a house in the market for $2 million and got an offer for almost full price on the same day... We officially announced our joining up with Compass last week, so I've been getting my team on the Compass platform and using the technology. As soon as we announced, we were ready... Due to the amount of demand from our current clients and other Compass agents, I have not reinitiated my Zillow account... I have a client that owned a high-rise condo in Jersey City. They fled to a parent's beach house for a couple of weeks (to spend the quarantine). They contacted me and said they did not want to go back to the condo. They wanted us to sell it. The home they ended up moving to had 11 offers. I found a strategy to persuade the sellers to accept my buyers' offer, and located a buyer for their property in Jersey City... Deals are getting easier to transact. Buyers and sellers are getting together and being reasonable... If you're in an area where inventory is limited and demand is high, people make money on real estate investments."

Margaret Miggins: "It was easier to say vacant homes (during quarantine)...  With the pandemic, many kids came back to their parents' home. It gave people a pause. We are noticing that things are opening back up. There are multiple bid situations going on all over the place... One of our agents just put a listing on and within two minutes, she had six appointments... We are seeing a lot of New Yorkers coming out... It's a robust real estate market now. There's little inventory and everything is getting absorbed quickly... We are seeing multiple bids in every price point. People like to feel settled. We are getting a lot of (requests for) home offices, a patch of grass (from buyers)... When we heard that Compass was opening up in Jersey, we loved it. We love everything about their marketing... Normally, in August we take off the last two weeks. I don't think we will be doing that this year. We lost our Spring market and it's now opening up, so everyone is going to want to get in (their new home) for the school year."

Michael W. Stanco: "We have been operating and it's an exciting time to represent the people in this region... We feel Compass is light years ahead of any other brokers... We are looking forward to servicing sellers and buyers because this area has never been in as much demand as now... It's all about relationships. People come to us because they trust us. Every relationship can go in every direction, so we take every client seriously and treat them equally... Pricing has not gone down these last months. It has been stable or even going up... Demand coming out of Manhattan has been there through the years, but now more than ever. For people coming out of the City, either it's a full-time move, or a second-home buyer coming out of Manhattan that is looking to come during the weekend or the summer... Going forward, there is no downtime. August will likely be busier than ever. I think we will go straight through the Fall... Long Island is a great place to live, and we are seeing a resurgence and renewed interest that will push our business and lives in a positive way."

Highlight quotes:

Bill Fandel: "We were forced into a virtual world. It has given people a glimpse of working more remotely... We are taking longer periods for rentals, of which there is only a certain amount... People will take longer rentals and commute back and forth to different business hubs... Someone can get a good glimpse of properties remotely. We have seen a rise in web traffic and more inquiries on properties that have larger acreage, more breathing room. It will be interesting to see how much of the web traffic stays intact as the re-opening happens... At Compass, we have shown some leadership about releasing technologies and streamlining things... We will enter another market for a place like ours. A lot of it will be predicated on how easy it is to travel and how people are able to stay in hotels... 

Robin Kencel: "In Greenwich, we are not normally a rental market, but we are nimble and have adapted and responded nicely. We found people that were looking for a month or two for rentals. Then, it changed to 'What do you have for the summer?' Now we are working on people that are taking a whole year of renting. It moves people into considering buying... Compass has a well-vetted group of vendors that give us the ability to do virtual tours that are as close to reality as possible... Our numbers have been off for a couple of years so it's a good time to buy."

Jack Pearson: "Millenials are much more attuned to buying properties sight-unseen... If you can't get in and have a video of the house, you sell it that way. If buyers really want a property, you can make the deal contingent on a walk-through. We have to think out of the box... The rental market (in The Hamptons) got squeezed because half the people that own houses rent them in the summer, and instead they are coming out to stay for the summer. Prices have gone up 30% for rentals... People that were on the fence to buy realized that they want to have a house, not be stuck in an apartment... Our population normally goes up six times in August, and that's what really happened here in March."

Bento Queiroz: "We are trying to accommodate all the demand from people trying to come down... Buying a property as my client did at The Estates at Acqualina, he basically pays his property with tax savings within five years... In Miami, if you navigate through the waters or in-land, people are still sitting on land value and holding on... Miami is evolving and taking shape as a global city. If you bring extraordinary architecture to the city, you can capitalize on it... We are offering an incomparable price per square foot in Miami."

Jim St. Andre: "In the high-end of the market of New York City, buyers are looking at this as an opportunity to buy in a neighborhood or building that they couldn't find access to before... From a business perspective, the strong and the intelligent will survive in the next phase of real estate in the United States... New York is the ultimate sub-market. We will see transactions go up and prices will depend on what sub-market of the City you are (looking into)... New Yorkers are resilient and they want to be here because it's New York."

Cape Advisors, the New York City-based developer of boutique luxury condominium 30 Warren Tribeca, announced the expansion of Tribeca Select, a program that provides 30 Warren residents with exclusive,  in-home services and special offerings as well as priority status at a collection of the neighborhood’s most renowned retailers, restaurants and institutions. Reflecting the neighborhood, the program now features a celebrity floral designer and an artisanal Hudson Valley millwork company, in addition to an acclaimed sommelier, Paul Grieco. “Capturing the spirit of Tribeca and providing residents with unique access to people, places, and services is what Tribeca Select is all about,” said Craig Wood, CEO of Cape Advisors. “It’s a tool kit of sorts. The program has been very well received and we are happy to add new partners.”

Grieco's famous wine bar, Terroir, is located in the heart of Tribeca, steps from 30 Warren. It was important to Cape Advisors to embrace the neighborhood and provide residents with a simple way to discover the area. Grieco is a personality, and it’s very attractive to future residents that such a prominent member of the community will know them by name. Haute Residence caught up with David Kronman of Cape Advisors to discuss how they came up with the idea of having a resident sommelier and why an offering like this is needed with luxury buyers.

How did you all come up with the idea of having a resident sommelier? 

Everything at 30 Warren -- from its ultra-high performance hand-cast concrete facade to its Hudson Valley millwork -- is reflective of Tribeca’s essence. We felt it was important to extend this sense of place by creating Tribeca Select, a program offering unique access to a hand-picked collection of the best establishments in the neighborhood. Central to our vision for Tribeca Select was Paul Grieco, the renowned sommelier and founder of the wine bar, Terroir Tribeca. Paul was eager to bring his enthusiasm for wine directly to the living rooms of our residents and curated a unique menu of wine services-- like his consultancy for wine collecting, food pairings, auction participation, private wine tastings and more—exclusively for 30 Warren. In addition to having Paul as a resident sommelier, we partnered with Chamber Street Wines so that residents can easily acquire naturally made and rare wines and also take advantage of their temperature-controlled storage service in addition to the wine storage we’re providing in each apartment. We are thrilled to offer our buyers a wine program that is unparalleled in today’s luxury market.

Was this something you found luxury buyers wanting? 

There are two luxuries that I can confidently say our buyers universally appreciate: high-design real estate and wine. 

How did you all decide on the resident sommelier? Was there a process to find a well-rounded one?

Paul is a renowned sommelier with an international following, his wine bar, Terroir, is an anchor in the neighborhood, and he’s a huge fan of 30 Warren, so we felt he was the perfect fit. 

Do you think an offering like this will be something more luxury buildings will start to offer?

Partnering with local businesses to create exclusive, in-residence experiences for buyers has the legs to become a new trend, definitely. Cape Advisors was the first to tap a sommelier of Paul Grieco’s caliber for such a unique offering, and we’re already thinking about our next partnerships - both at 30 Warren and other buildings in our portfolio.

Do you know if your building is the first of it’s kind with this type of offering?

As far as we know, yes. We’re excited to introduce our residents to Paul Grieco and our complete wine-centric lifestyle program.

Invest in a well-made sofa, accessorize with statement pillows, and build the room around it,” she said. This gorgeous velvet couch is the hero of this living space and is right on trend for this year. Krasnow and her team staged this living room at LEVEL, a luxury waterfront enclave in Williamsburg.

Renowned architects and designers like Sir David Adjaye, Piero Lissoni and Morris Adjmi have incorporated textured marble and stone into their lavish bathroom interiors. Traditionally, bathrooms are sleek spaces with flat walls and floors. Today, the most glamorous designs are rich and multidimensional with ridges, layers and vein-cut detailing. These kinds of details, which is beyond what is expected, evoke luxury and attention. The stone and marble used in these textural designs are rare and sourced from around the world.

130 William

At 130 William, acclaimed architect Sir David Adjaye, who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II and named one of TIME magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2017, has designed his first skyscraper and first high-rise tower in NYC. The master bathroom marble was hand selected from the Apuan Alps in Tuscany, Italy. Elegant Salvatori textured Bianco Carrara Italian marble highlights the master bathrooms, which offer soaking tubs, spacious walk-in showers, custom Pedini Italian vanities and custom Adjaye designed illuminated medicine cabinets.

45 Park Place

45 Park Place is the first New York development featuring Piero Lissoni’s interiors. Lissoni is one of modernism's most sought-after international designers. The master bath in this soaring glass tower, developed by Soho Properties with architecture by Michel Abboud of SOMA, boasts free-standing soaking tubs surrounded by walls clad in Italian textured Pietra d'Avola raw limestone, specifically designed by Lissoni for Salvatori. Lissoni also incorporated this textural element into the elegant windowed power rooms, which are clad in Silk Georgette stone.

207 W 79

New York-based architect Morris Adjmi, who is known for respecting and evoking a neighborhood’s past while adding the beauty and desires of the present, implemented this design trend at 207W79, a development of Anbau that's ideally located in the Landmarked District of the Upper West Side. At the new handsome brick building, which combines the classic appeal of pre-war residences with the expansive spaces of modern loft-like living, the master bathrooms are tiled in an Empire-style rattan pattern in marble and porcelain. Secondary bathrooms are rich with textures, from hive tile Calacatta marble accent walls to Bianco Beatriz vein-cut walls and vanities.

90 Morton

The state-of-the-art condominium conversion, by Brack Capital Real Estate, is located in Manhattan’s West Village. An Italian limestone extracted from an underground quarry on the northwest bank of Iseo Lake in Italy, called Ceppo di Gré, features in the building’s powder rooms. Leroy Street Studio went to Italy to source it from the quarry, which is currently the only quarry in which Ceppo is mined. Particularly beautiful and very durable, it has been used in Italian buildings for millennia. It is well-known for characteristics such as its blue-gray color and its distinctive pebble-marked surface that make it sought-after and very elegant. Leroy Street Studio created two-toned fixtures within the master bathrooms, which are studies in white, with honed Royal Danby marble.

15 Jay

The Tribeca West Historic District’s latest loft condominium conversion is made up of five luxury apartments. With architecture and interiors by Meshberg Group, all of the master baths have exquisite marble finishes. The penthouse duplex master bath has a glass-enclosed steam shower with a Calacatta Lincoln honed marble bench and a freestanding tub to further create a relaxing oasis. The 15 Jay sales launch is expected this fall (with MNS sales team).

1000M

1000M, the luxury condominium coming to downtown Chicago, was designed by Chicago-native and interior design star Kara Mann. Mann curated a mix of natural stone options on the floors and walls, including the showers.

We spoke with luxury NYC based moving company Roadway Moving to get their insight on how to make your move as seamless and stress-free as possible.

Why do you think moving is such a challenge in NYC compared to other cities?

Moving in New York City is not like moving in any other city especially if you decide to do it yourself. There are a lot of factors that come into play when embarking on a move especially if you’re moving into a doorman elevator building verses a brownstone. The top three pain points are parking, certificate of insurance and reserving an elevator (if there is one).  Why stress over where you’re going to park your moving van when you can let a moving company handle it all?

How can moving companies alleviate the stress and anxiety that comes with a move?

A full-service moving company, like Roadway Moving, can do it all for you.

Regardless of whether you’re a family of four with little down time to prepare or a single person with a lot of valuables, it is possible to have a stress-free move. We offer full packing and unpacking services, extra insurance if needed, and the option to add on white glove service, Roadway Black. Depending on your budget and how many valuable items you are moving, it pays to splurge on this service to truly alleviate stress from the moving experience. Sometimes the less expensive route is not always the smartest route. You need to find services that are going to protect the things you worked hard to earn.

Do you find there are better and worse times of the year to move? 

January and February tend to be the cheapest and you’ll definitely get a great deal. While during the summer is the busiest time of the year for people to move and will be the most expensive.

What are the benefits of hiring a professional moving company?

There are many benefits to hiring a moving company but the biggest is to relieve any sort of stress on move day. Most working professionals do not have the time or luxury to plan their move from beginning to end and that is where a professional mover comes into play.

Take us through your move process from start to finish.

When you first call Roadway, we’ll decide if you need an on-site evaluation or if we can take your move details over the phone. If you have a larger home with a lot of valuables we’ll send someone to your house to provide a free estimate.

The second option is to speak with a sales professional who will then input your inventory and move details into the system to come up with a quote. Then we will send you a move plan with an all-inclusive price that will not change unless your move details happen to change.

After your move is booked you’ll hear from us the day before to provide an arrival time. We always send a large enough crew (usually 3-4 people) to finish up the job in the least amount of time. Once the move is complete you’ll hear from our Customer Service department who will ask you a few questions regarding your move experience, which helps us to ensure our customers are 100 percent satisfied.

What is your biggest piece of advice you could give someone who is about to move?

Do your research and get free quotes. We recommend searching on sites such as the BBB, Yelp, Social Media, Google+ and asking people who they recommend. The most important thing is to ask a lot of questions to ensure your valuables will be well protected.

The post New Watermill Gem Of A Residence appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The construction of One57 at 157 W 57th St in 2014, saw the term “Supertall” (referring to anything over 1,000 feet) first bandied about. When others of a similar ilk — 432 Park Ave., 53 W 53rd, and 220 Central Park South — also took to the skies, a pattern started to emerge and the name Billionaires' Row started to stick.

The ceilings on height were not only being shattered but along with them, sales numbers, too. Recently, Michael Dell, founder of the computer giant, reportedly spent $100.47 million on his One57 penthouse, making it the most expensive home purchase in New York to date. Word has it that 220 Central Park South, still under construction will host a $250 million quadruplex penthouse. Already topped out is the 53W53. Skyline neighbors include 432 Park Avenue and 30 Hudson Yards.

One of the newest members to this fraternity is the yet to be completed, Central Park Tower, at 217 West 57th Street, which is due to reach 1,550 feet. Many of the apartments will be asking more than $20 million.

Detractors often cite quality of life for the average New Yorker on the street  as an issue. The buildings cast huge shadows down below and traditionally have required enormous amounts of energy to heat and cool. Also as the sales numbers increase, the figures filter down through the rest of New York real estate and into the outer boroughs. Already cited as a city for the rich, the disparity between rich and poor increases.

432 Park Avenue

Amenity wise, as you would imagine, the super rich in the supertalls have everything imaginable. Pools, spas, gyms, wall-length aquariums, lounges, screening and performance rooms, dining and conference rooms make these hotels in the sky. But many would argue what’s the point of living in New York, the vibrancy, the neighborhoods and culture when you are closeted away in the clouds? If you have an apartment on Billionaire’s Row, that’s probably not your reason for owning NY real estate.

Who can actually afford these buildings? Clearly popping into your local high-street bank and asking for a mortgage on a $100-million condo isn’t going to work. Many of the sales are, unsurprisingly for all, cash purchases with foreign investors looking for a safe haven to park their money in a market, which historically has only ever gone up in value. Many of the condos often stay vacant for much of the year.

The advent of advanced architectural technology to counteract the effect of high winds means that supertall towers are not only here to stay but may be destined to go even higher. 

Chicogo-based architect Adrian Smith, who along with his partner, Gordon Gill, has formed one of the pre-eminent architecture firms with expertise in designing supertall towers such as the Burj Khalifa and Jeddah Tower (the world’s tallest) in Dubai feels, naturally, that going higher can only be viewed as a positive.

“The supertall tower can be a symbol of success and optimism for the future of any city.,” he told  curbed.com. “If cities don’t continue to build and improve their conditions, they will usually go into decline…I think the visionary leaders are saying, 'Build it right and they will come.'” 

Even if they don’t stay.

All these describe Benjamin Dixon and Matthew Mackay, who formed The Mackay | Dixon Team a little over a year ago. In this short time span, they have blended their real estate, customer service, finance and management skills to become #7 in New York City at Douglas Elliman.

Dixon and Mackay shared their success with Haute Residece.

You are celebrating one year as a team. How did you partner up?

Dixon: We have known each other over a decade. Matthew helped me find my first apartment (and every one since) in Manhattan in 2005.

Mackay: After nearly 20 great years in Manhattan real estate, I was looking to take things to the next level. When Ben said he was ready to take the plunge and leave a successful career in Finance, it all fell into place.

What are some of the challenges of transitioning from being a solo real estate agent to a team?

Mackay: I used to do it all myself. Incorporating another person into my decision-making process initially took a lot of effort. But it is worth it. While we had to invest time and energy to create communication and coordination systems, we are reaping the benefits, and so are our clients. Our marketing is stronger, our analysis more refined and our clients’ satisfaction, evidenced by a steady stream of referrals, is proof that it is all working.

What is the dynamic when working together? Do you split responsibilities?

Mackay: We collaborate on all of our deals so that our clients reap the benefits of each of our 20 years of experience. However, we do tend to split responsibilities according to our skillset. I often take the lead on buyer searches as I have been in almost every building in the city and have a photographic memory.

Dixon: And I tend to handle all of our operations, marketing and analysis.

Manhattan is a tough market to crack, yet you are among the top teams at Douglas Elliman – and in such a short time. What do you attribute your success to?

Dixon: Hard work. Hard work. Hard work. This is a competitive business. Without tenacity and determination, you won’t last long. We are also laser-focused on our clients’ experience. It isn’t enough to just get the deal done. Buying and selling in Manhattan is complex and can easily turn into a negative experience. While we can’t always remove every stress from a transaction, our goal is always to have our clients look back on the experience favorably and know without a doubt who they will call for their next real estate deal.

What have you learned in the year since becoming a team? What have you learned from each other?

Dixon: I learn from Matthew every day. He has done so many deals in this city. Having that wealth of knowledge available to me 24 hours a day has helped me come up the experience curve so much faster than I ever could have on my own.

Mackay: Ben looks at data differently than any broker I have met. While nothing can replace experience and instinct, being able to analyze the ever expanding amount of the data we have available to us today certainly provides us and our clients a competitive advantage.

What challenges do you see in the current state of the NYC real estate and what are the ways to overcome them?

Dixon: The current challenge is plain and simple – bridging the gap. We are seeing plenty of deals being done; but often the expectation gap has to be closed to get there. We do this head on with data and analysis.

What is your vision for the future?

Mackay: We finished out our first year together with two new team members and ranked #7 in New York City at Douglas Elliman. We plan to grow strategically and continually focus on improving our clients’ experience.

Just recently, though, an opportunity emerged for Gunn to espouse home decor professionally. He teamed up with Command Brand, the maker of the adhesive picture-hanging strips, to translate his fashion aptitude to interior-design advice with a series of wall-decorating projects that require no nails. Last week, Gunn, Command and Gilt hosted the “From the Runway to the Hallway” pop-up shop, where fashion, art and decor intuitively coalesced.

Haute Residence caught up with Gunn to learn more about his partnership with Command, his appreciation for the arts and his decor tenets.

How did your partnership with Command Brand come to be?

I am approached by brands with some frequency. I am very, very, very particular about the decisions I make about which brands I would even want to work with. As a wonderful happenstance, I am a huge Command fan and I have used it forever. So, when they approached me, I said, "Good Heaven, you are all over my apartment. I would love to have a conversation about what we can do together."

I find that decision-making about interiors and decision-making about fashion have so many correlations. People are really afraid that they get paralyzed by the decisions they have to make and they do not know what to do. With Command, because it does not have to be a permanent place, you can move things around, you are not making that commitment that a nail in the wall makes. It means that you can play, you can try it as opposed to, "Oh, I am making a lifetime commitment to this particular painting or drawing or photograph being on this particular wall." Command is just completely and utterly liberating. It is interesting - as I first began to use them, it was about, "Well, let me experiment. Let me try." But then, because they are so long-lasting, there is no reason to take the Command strips down and put a nail. It is quite fantastic. I am involved because I am a huge fan of the product.

Is this your first venture into home decor?

Yes, absolutely. I have to say, in my heart, if I were not in fashion, I would be in interiors. I think in particular living in New York, our home environment is so important to us because it is our safe haven that it is accentuated, I think, even more here. So, we really care about coming home and feeling that we are in a place that we love.

Living in New York can often mean a compromise in square feet. How can interior design make the best of the available space?

I believe that decorating our homes follows the same principles that are important in getting our fashion right. It is not about the particulars of what you have. It is about the relationships among them. I say it is about silhouette, proportion and fit. With homes, scale is very important. I do not mean that you live in a tiny apartment that everything should be of a small scale but you need to look into the relationships among those objects. I always say, do not go to a store and buy a whole apartment full of furniture there and have it delivered to you. Start with one or two pieces and then let it grow. Feel the space. Think about what proportionately and also practically you need and want, and what will fit.

I believe that decorating our walls gives us another dimension to the living space but until the furniture is places, it is not a very good idea to do that because of the proportional relationships. That goes back to the fantastic partner we all have in Command, because it does give us that freedom of latitude and that agility and ability to make changes quickly and with no damage.

When it comes to art on the walls, what artists do you admire? Are there any contemporary ones you follow?

I studied art in the 1970s and art history. So, a lot of my personal taste is more into that. I would not say I am a huge fan of a lot of contemporary art that is happening right now, but Richard Diebenkorn, Josef Albers – they are so many artists of the 20th century whose work I truly love. In terms of my home, I am more of a classicist and most of what I have is more traditional. They are just images I like living with – a lot of portraits that are 18th- and 19th-century but very affordable. I care about things that have a history and a story.

What is your favorite piece of art?

My only trouble is that I have so many. If someone was to say, "Your apartment is on fire, you can only take one thing with you," I think I would rather stay and get burnt. I do not think I can run out with just one thing.

What trends in terms of decor and fashion you see converging and shaping up for the upcoming summer season?

We have four trends – and they are trends in fashion and trends in interiors as well. Stripes are big; glitter, glamour, shiny surfaces are very, very big. As are also surfaces that are textured. We are calling them trends, but they all have staying power. These are not things that are only relevant today. I am happy that they are prevalent but they will be with us forever. So, depending on your taste and point of view, there is something there for you.

Listed for approximately $11 million with The De Niro Team of Douglas Elliman, the abode is a self-contained sanctuary in the bustle of New York City. From the moment you step in the oversized elevator that fits an SUV, you enter a private world full of amenities. You can go directly to the third floor or to your personal parking space in the basement.

Despite its harsh industrial hulk, the home is filled with soft, steady diffused light that pours in from windows across the Southern and Northern walls and from the 15x15 foot skylight in the center of the loft. The clean design, augmented by 13-foot ceilings, creates a sense of airiness.

The space is currently laid out as a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with several sitting and living areas, but can be reimagined by adding several Western facing windows and utilizing the undeveloped roof and the approximately 7,500 square feet of buildable air rights.

The raw commercial unit on the ground floor is nearly 1,600 square feet and includes a curb cut. The combined total square footage for the full-floor loft, ground floor commercial space and basement storage is 6,143.

Haute Residence chatted with Mitchell Moinian, principal for The Moinian Group, about the company's achievements, insights and current projects.

What are some projects The Moinian Group is currently working on?

Expanding upon our portfolio, we are furthering our development along the west side of Manhattan, stretching from Hell’s Kitchen and Midtown West through West Chelsea, and down to the Financial District. These premier residential rentals will provide New Yorkers with amenities, including rooftop pools and common areas filled with world-renowned artwork. We are passionate about elevating every moment for our tenants, from the moment they walk through our doors and throughout the time they spend in their homes. We’ve also recently tapped into the Brooklyn residential market, with more details to come.

In what state would you consider the New York real estate market today?

Stronger than ever, the rental market in New York has reinforced our belief that people want their homes to be reflections of their personality and they’re willing to explore new areas for it. With our low vacancy rates, we’ve proven that the market demands uniquely crafted homes with world class amenities. Most importantly, we have found that New Yorkers are willing to explore burgeoning neighborhoods, like Hudson Yards and West Chelsea, to find such a product.

As one of the leading developers in NYC, what are some things in the market in your position at The Moinian Group that you’ve noticed, such as trends in architecture, and technology?

Recent action in New York has confirmed that New Yorkers are changing their behavior in how they live and work. People want a lifestyle that allows them to live how they work and vice versa. Creating diverse communities that encompass both residential and commercial developments, such as Hudson Yards and West Chelsea, is a prime example of this. Moinian has recently backed co-living startup, Ollie, a pioneer in this trend. Lastly, these areas and their developments are aspirations for how the future will want to live, which is why we’ve teamed up with exceptional design firms like Zaha Hadid and Rockwell Group to make each of our buildings standout.

The Moinian Group is a pioneer of Far West Side development. Why was this area appealing to the company?

We’ve always seen tremendous potential for this neighborhood as the future of Manhattan. It was one of the last untapped areas, waiting to become the new, New York. Development always follows transportation, and after the completion of the 7 train extension, access to the area is easier than ever. 3 Hudson Boulevard, our newest commercial project in development, sits directly on the Hudson Yards 7 train station, putting it at the center of Hudson Yards. Other than transportation, unobstructed views of the Hudson River and New York City skyline are unparalleled.

Sky, which became 100% leased this past summer, is the largest rental building in the country with 1,175 units. What factors do you contributed to its success?

The success of Sky is attributed to a culmination of factors, starting with a world class team that involved premier design firm Rockwell Group, architecture firm Hill West and our on-going team of experts that focus on creating new and exciting experiences for our residents. The Sky brand is now well-known throughout the city, anchored by the #LiveatSky campaign. #LiveatSky was so successful because we took an omni-channel approach to reaching the market. In addition to conventional marketing and advertising tactics both digital and print, we also worked closely with influencers of all types including NBA players, television stars and models to provide authentic content that inspired the community to desire Sky. The success has been so promising that the market might be seeing the second Sky building very soon.

The Moinian Group recently announced Oskar. How does this project differ from nearby Sky?

Different from Sky and other projects in area, we wanted to give our community an opportunity to live in a more intimate setting while still providing them with the same finishes and services of a building like Sky. Oskar has tremendous attention to the small details that optimize rental living, from windowed corridors filled with artwork by renowned Phillip Michaels to remote keyless entry into their homes, finished with condo-like fixtures that include Bosch and Grohe.

Are there any particular buildings or projects that inspired you early in your career?

Having been born and raised in NYC and with a passion for travel, I’ve always been immersed in the latest and greatest architecture with a deep passion for exploring it. Whether it’s a new building down the block or across the world, I am always aspiring to learn how I can make the next project better than the last.

A report about the future of the city recently was released with some lofty suggestions for what New York might look like 30 years from now. What do you think the city will look like at that time and how will The Moinian Group be adapting to that new city?

First, by looking back on the past 30 years, Moinian has had a lot to do with the rebirth of New York as a premier destination for both living and working. Looking to the future and to what I’ve said previously, we are constantly learning and adapting to the changing behaviors of how people interact with the built environment. We predict that future Generation Z will have a large influence on these behaviors with their preferences for more experiential atmospheres, smarter living and working, and desire to explore the unknown. These behavioral changes in society also mandate sustainable changes to the built environment. At Moinian, we’ve put a heavy focus on building more consciously to the environment while simultaneously increasing their efficiency. Our portfolio has laid the groundwork with several LEED and WiredScore certified buildings, and we plan only to expand those numbers as well as explore new methods for promoting wellness to our consumers.

What are some hardships or adversarial moments you’ve experienced in your position at The Moinian Group?

Similar to what I mentioned earlier, societal behaviors are in a big state of flux right now, with more of a demand and focus on blurring the divide between work and home. While we have tapped into this trend, we are constantly strategizing our developments and programming to a new way of life that the future generation is cultivating. We study to stay ahead of the curve and make decisions based on our informed assumptions for the future. The challenge here is that at the end of the day, the way people evolve is up to themselves. It’s widely accepted that social media is a leading channel for reaching the market, but we are constantly learning and exploring new ways to reach prospective customers in an authentic way that appeals to what people want to engage with. Technology particularly becomes a challenge in the planning and launch phases of a building. By the time we start leasing, we often need to adapt to current technology that has since evolved.

Whether for the newly reduced price to a mere 11 million from its original 15 million, or for the rock wall built inside the home, this mansion, at 1211 Park Avenue, is truly incredible.

Ranging over 5 stories to cover the homes 5,200 square feet, the home has tons of luxury amenities that come standard for most in the Upper East Side neighborhood, eat in kitchens, stainless steel appliances, a chic modern design for the interior. That’s all great.

Where this home sets itself apart though is with details seldom seem in the city. A wall of windows, four fireplaces, and ensuites for each of the six bedrooms. One of the children’s bedrooms even has a rock-climbing wall in it, other rooms feature libraries, wine cellars, and a full basement. If all of the excitement in this home grows to be too much though, simply step out onto the roof deck for some fresh air and astounding views.

The home is being listed by Leslie Garfield’s Thomas Wexler and Jed Garfield and is available here.

Nestled into the quiet neighborhood of Gramercy, this whimsical home is packed with surprises of color and light. Mere blocks from transit hubs, bars, restaurants, and some of the city’s best parks, this home is full of luxury features.

Other highlights of this extraordinary home include a full sized laundry room, mud room, central AC, and decorative fireplace.

The real star of the show though is the burst of color and patterns used in the walls of the home. While one room of this palate may come acorss as a strand gone awry in other homes, the unique blends implemented here bring the whole home to life, making it perfect for those looking for something outside the lines of the standard Manhattan luxury home.

This property is being listed by Brown Harris Stevens’ Rachel Glazer and Douglas Bellitto. It’s currently listed just under $5.5 Million and spreads 4100 square feet across 8 rooms. Check out more about the listing here.
