Manhattan New York Hotel
Hudson Yards - New York City Department of City Planning
This need in Midtown is unrelated to - and not competitive with - the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan. Rebuilding Lower Manhattan and the World Trade Center is the City’s first priority and great progress is being made. The Trade Center is the last location in Lower Manhattan that can accommodate commercial buildings. With the completion of the Trade Center, Lower Manhattan will have no more capacity for new office development. The Trade Center is expected to be redeveloped over the course of the next decade, providing nearly 10 million square feet of commercial space. As the Trade Center is nearing completion, only then will Hudson Yards have the necessary subway access and public amenities to attract new development. We must look ahead, and plan ahead, so that New York will continue to provide office employment opportunities for its citizens in the future. ... [Read More]

FRB: Beige Book--New York--June 15, 2005
Tourism remained exceptionally strong in April and May, especially in New York City. Manhattan's hotel occupancy rate was more than 2 percentage points higher in April than a year ago, and average room rates soared 17 percent. Indications are that a similar pattern continued into May. Broadway theaters report increasingly robust attendance and revenues since the last report; from mid-April through the end of May, attendance was up 10 percent from a year ago, while total revenues rose 15 percent--the strongest year-over-year gain since March 2004. Buffalo-area hotels also indicate that business was stronger in April than a year earlier, buoyed by strong convention business. ... [Read More]
Neighborhoods: Manhattan Beach -- Congressman Anthony D. Weiner, NewYork's 9th District
Neighborhood in southwestern Brooklyn, lying on a peninsula at the eastern end of Coney Island and bounded to the north by Sheepshead Bay, to the east and south by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the west by Corbin Place. It was developed in 1877 as a self-contained summer resort on five hundred acres (two hundred hectares) of slat marsh by Austin Corbin’s firm, the Manhattan Beach Improvement Company. During its heyday the Manhattan Beach Hotel and the Oriental Hotel offered entertainment by Patrick S. Gilmore and John Philip Sousa (who commemorated the resort in his Manhattan Beach March ). Several factors contributed to the decline of the resort during the early years of the twentieth century: amusement parks opened in West Brighton, many parts of Brooklyn became suburban, and the three racetracks on Coney Island closed in 1910. Residential development began after 1907, when Manhattan Beach Improvement divided its land north of the hotels into building lots. During the Second World War ... [Read More]
FRB: Beige Book - New York
Manhattan's hotel occupancy rate (seasonally-adjusted), held steady at 80 percent in July, but was down almost 10 points from a year earlier. This falling occupancy rate, in part, reflects a 7 percent increase in the number of hotel rooms since the beginning of the year; current construction will add another 5 percent to the existing stock. Reflecting the changing market conditions, the average room rate slipped to a three-year low and is down 7 percent over the past year. ... [Read More]

FRB: Beige Book - New York
Tourism to New York City appears to have rebounded since the last report. Manhattan hotels report that occupancy rates, which plunged below 50 percent in late September, rebounded to about 75 percent in October--only 12 points lower than a year earlier. Some firms displaced temporarily by the terrorist attack have been using Manhattan hotels as interim office space. Hotels have reportedly reduced their room rates by 25 percent, on average, since the attack, with some establishments in Lower Manhattan making reductions of up to 40 percent. Hotels in northern New Jersey report occupancy rates close to 70 percent in October--also down about 10 to 15 points from a year ago--and similar trends are reported in Long Island. ... [Read More]
FRB: Beige Book - New York
In New York city, tourism and business travel continue to boom, as hotels are operating at virtually full capacity. Manhattan hotel occupancy rates held steady at just under 90 percent in October and November, while room rates were running 12 percent higher than a year earlier. ... New York City's office market appears to have tightened further in the fourth quarter. Midtown Manhattan's office availability rate (space coming available within the next six months) declined from 10.3 percent to 9.8 percent at the end of November, while Downtown's rate edged down from 17.7 percent to 17.6 percent. Asking rents in the tight Midtown Manhattan market rose at a double-digit annual rate over the past three months and are up 7 percent from a year ago. Downtown rates posted a more modest 4 percent rise over the past year but have also accelerated in recent months. ... [Read More]
FRB: Beige Book - New York
Manhattan's hotel occupancy rate averaged 78 percent in both March and April -- 10 percentage points lower than a year earlier. Moreover, the average room rate slipped 2.5 percent below year-earlier levels in April -- the steepest 12-month decline since 1993. Moreover, higher-priced hotels generally registered steeper declines in both occupancy rates and room rates than lower-budget establishments. ... New York City's office market continued to slacken in April. Availability rates in all three of Manhattan's major markets rose another 0.5 percentage points from March. Rates rose to 5.5 percent in Midtown and to 5.6 percent in Downtown -- both one-year highs -- and to 7.8 percent in Midtown South (which includes much of "Silicon Alley"), its highest level since 1997. However, availability rates are still low by historical standards. Asking rents have recently declined in all three areas, though they are still up more than 20 percent from a year ago. Retail rents in Manhattan rose slightly between September 2000 and March 2001, while the amount of prime space available for rent declined, according to an industry survey. Separately, industrial vacancy rates in northern New Jersey have risen in recent months, while rents have leveled off; while demand and leasing activity are still described as relatively strong, supply has increased substantially, with approximately 2.5 million square ...
