The set of seven sky-high luxury apartment buildings to take root in midtown Manhattan over the next decade is sure to alter the cityscape. Known as Billionaire’s row, “it’s one thing to rend about $130 million apartments--it’s another thing to see just what an impact these obelisks will have on the Manhattan skyline.”

Rendering by SHoP Architects  On First Avenue between 35th and 36th Streets, sat 9.2 acres of undeveloped, muddy land for several years. The owner of the former ConEd site, developer Sheldon Solow, had planned on building two apartment towers. Last year, he sold the property for $172 million to JDS Development, who is following through with Solow’s plans. The Midtown East mud pit is in the process of transforming into two SHoP Architects-designed luxury rental towers, one at 40 stories and the other at 49 stories, housing a combined 800 luxury apartments for rent.

Donald Trump has reportedly chosen an heir to throne of his real estate empire. However, inheriting the Trump Organization will not be one of his children, but three of them. Trump told the Wall Street Journal that his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, along with daughter Ivanka, will all take over various aspects of the famous organization.

Murray Hill has long been the neighborhood of choice for renters wanting affordable, luxury living options in Manhattan, and the area will soon be having a new building to add to its repertoire: an 18-story mixed-use tower at 200 East 39th Street. The new building, which is a project by SK Development, CB Developers and Ironstate Development, will have 91 apartment units in studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom sizes, along with retail spaces on the lower floors.

Murray Hill’s unique location in Midtown Manhattan has made it one of the more desirable neighborhoods to live in New York City. After all, residents here are near the city’s famous hotspots, be it the bright frenzy of Times Square or the refined elegance of Gramercy Park. But Murray Hill itself has its own particular charm, made apparent with the variety of retail and dining options available in the area. As a result, the neighborhood has been attracting Manhattan home hunters by the dozen, a fact that has not been missed by New York’s real estate developers. This could therefore be one of the reasons why Manhattan-based real estate investment firm Atlas Capital Group has bought the Eastgate Tower Hotel at 224 East 39th Street, with the intention of converting the 147,000-square-foot property into a 190-unit luxury rental building.
