Shifting dynamics within the office and retail industries and the city’s new infatuation with supertall, ultra-luxe towers are leading to yet another transformation of New York City’s most prominent business and retail hub – Midtown Manhattan. With expanded air rights and the rezoning of Midtown East providing significantly more square footage, Midtown has been experiencing a 21st Century renaissance of ground-up developments. But what happens to these large scale developments and building renovations in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak? As Midtown enters its next real estate revolution, hear how owners are repositioning their assets, upholding the reputation of New York’s most coveted business corridor and responding to combat the unprecedented consequences of the COVID-19 crisis.
