The Citicorp Tower has been a Manhattan skyline icon for nearly a half-century with a glimmering silhouette and unique, prism-topped roof. The 54-story skyscraper was dedicated on Oct 12, 1977, by Gov. Hugh Carey and Mayor Abe Beame. Less than a year later, chief engineer William LeMessurier found it had a 1 in 16 chance of toppling over in hurricane winds.

Soho’s retail-leasing boom has spilled over to the investment-sale market.

Blackstone recently paid $197 million for the four locations totaled 131,000 square feet  – Manhattan’s largest retail play purchase since 2021.

It’s bad enough when government acquiesces in societal degradation by winking at “broken windows,” the “minor” crimes that precede murder, rape, assault and overall civic breakdown. But it’s immeasurably worse when elected officials and their functionaries themselves wield the bats and throw the stones. This is the lamentable state of things in New York City, a hapless creature of the state government in Albany that wields far too much sway over Big Apple affairs.

The loudest cheers on Wall Street aren’t for the New York Stock Exchange’s closing bell, but for the opening of the five most dynamic restaurants FiDi has ever seen under a single roof.

The neighborhood, once starved for quality cuisine, is now a lively residential district as well as a business hub.
