My friends Jeff Rosenblum and Ashish Dua of Acumen Capital (formerly of Time Equities, Inc.) recently leased the roof of their building in Long Island City, Queens to a farm. There is a lot of talk about green and sustainability out there, but this is one of the most unique concepts I’ve seen in awhile.
Foreign missions and consulates continue to purchase office condominiums. Some have even strayed from the Midtown East submarket and away for the United Nations. In 2008 I sold the Mission to Trinidad and Tobago a 25,000 square foot floor at 125 Maiden Lane in Lower Manhattan. UN related entities continue to show interest in our office condominium portfolio.
