THE TRUMP EFFECT - So what will the Trump presidency do for Manhattan real estate? 

Let's not forget that at his core, President Elect Trump is a New York based real estate developer. So perhaps his ascension to the single most powerful job on the planet will be a check in the “pro” column when it comes to NYC Real Estate. Further, Mr. Trump has surrounded himself with other real estate tycoons ranging from Ross to Kushner, Lorber to Lefrak. Again, it is hard to believe that all these businessmen, whose livelihood is supported by the success of New York Real Estate, won’t  try to help the industry at large.

Will foreigners still feel comfortable moving assets into NYC RE as they have been for the past half-decade?  Will the certain rise in interest rates effect the post-Trump election stock market rise? What will happen to our economy in the coming months and years? No ones knows for sure, but our bet is that so long as the world and US Markets stay strong (no easy task), we believe a Trump presidency will most likely have a net positive effect on NYC Real Estate values. 

Below are links to a few articles that discus the Trump effect on NYC RE far more eloquently.

DUMBO Delivers
 
Charming cobblestone streets, artfully restored loft spaces, and a pristine waterfront are synonymous with DUMBO, Brooklyn's premier waterfront neighborhood. Standing for "Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass," the neighborhood offers amazing dining, culture and recreation - not to mention views of the Manhattan skyline from every angle.
 
The heart of DUMBO is Brooklyn Bridge Park, an 85-acre stretch along the East River. Thanks to the city's revitalization efforts, the Park has become the epicenter for the community, including film screenings, "Shakespeare at Sunset" theater performances, a pop-up swimming pool, and weekly outdoor food markets. But, perhaps the best thing to do there, though, is simply set up a picnic and enjoy the view. 
 
Another icon of DUMBO is Jane's Carousel. An antique brought from Ohio, the carousel arrived in DUMBO in the 1980s, renovated, and encased in a glass structure designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel. Now, for just $2.00, you can take a whirl on a wooden horse while looking out over the East River.
 
For a glimpse of old-school New York City, head to The River Cafe in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. The dishes (strip steak, poached lobster, foie gras) may be old-fashioned, but the views, especially at night, never go out of style. And newer destinations like Gran Electrica, Iris Café, and Atrium, all have kept DUMBO on the map for New York's most discerning foodies. 
 
If you've saved room for dessert, the Brooklyn Ice Cream Company is a local favorite and only footsteps away, serving eight simple flavors in an old landmarked fireboat house. After spending an day in DUMBO, we promise that the neighborhood's quintessential charm will have you reconsider relocating from across the bridge to under it.

The NYC Skyline, 2021

 

Since its beginnings, New York City has been reaching for the sky. For much of its early history, the tallest structures here were church steeples and City Hall, but by the turn of the 20th-century, the Flatiron Building and the Woolworth Building achieved new records for height until the Chrysler Building and Empire State Building set the gold standard. In the past several years, the trend has accelerated almost beyond imagination, with a pipeline full of super-tall towers which will drastically alter the skyline by 2021. Click below to read more about select building that will help redefine our skyline.
