ROCK A LOBSTER Handmade in NYC by local designer Eugenia Kim, Gabriella is a wide-brim fedora made of toyo, a natural fiber that’s perfect for those sweltering summer days. But this straw topper isn’t just practical — there’s a healthy dose of whimsy, too, thanks to its unique embellishments: an embroidered, bejeweled lobster and a silver chain. $375; www.eugeniakim.com

CELESTIAL CHIC Part of ABC Carpet & Home’s exclusive Cosmos collection — a collaboration with Italian lighting design studio Catellani & Smith — the Moon Lamp is “inspired by the ethereal color spectrum of the cosmos.” The base is made of brass and the glimmery, unique glow is courtesy of iridescent glass discs and LED bulbs. The five arms are adjustable. $4,000; www.abchome.com

SUNSHINE STATE Bring the sun wherever you go this season with this adorable vinyl tote (with leather handles) from NYCbased designer Mara Hoffman. Up the cute factor even more with a coordinated swimsuit or dress. $168; www.marahoffman.com

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN Add a dash of retro fun to your kitchen with this 1950s-inspired stand mixer from Smeg. Made of die-cast aluminum, the 10-speed mixer comes with a 4.8-liter stainless-steel mixing bowl and five accessories, including a dough hook and a flat beater. Choose from five cheery colors: red, cream, silver, pastel blue and black. Available at West Elm. $449.95; www.smeg.com

BACK TO THE FUTURE Zippy, flashy and eco-friendly, BMW’s 2015 i8 is ideal for green-leaning urban drivers, and just may be the sexiest hybrid car on the market. Take note of its “classical sports car proportions,” impressive fuel economy and an interior design that’s “worthy of an Ian Schrager hotel,” according to Car and Driver. Perhaps the magazine sums up the i8’s multifaceted appeal best: “If Los Angeles were a car, it’d be this.” From $137,450; www.bmwnyc.com

Tony’s thing The amiable actor gives his take on stage, stardom and New York City, then and now

or some it’s the silhouette of the skyline against a sunset, for others it’s the feeling of being at the center of the universe. But for Tony Danza — star of stage, screen and the boxing ring — the thrill of living in New York City is all about “the brush.” “The ‘brush’ is when you brush against people in the street or on the subway,” Danza says in a recent interview. “You brush. You have to move your shoulders sometimes so it’s not a bump.” Nearly four decades ago, Danza, 63, left his native New York City for Los Angeles for his breakout role as Tony Banta on the TV show “Taxi.” He remained there for a subsequent eight-season role on “Who’s the Boss?” as housekeeper and single father Tony Micelli. “I have mixed emotions about LA,” he recalls. “When I went out there in 1977 it was paradise. I used to joke, ‘Brooklyn boy lands in Hollywood. It’s like nothing he’s ever seen: blue skies, palm trees, no potholes.’ It was pristine back then.” But Danza says that he never felt at home with the cars, the isolation and the LA attitude — missing “the brush” most of all. “You are with people,” he says of NYC’s fleeting person-to-person contact. “In LA you get in your car, you drive to work, then you get back into your car and drive home. One of the great luxuries of New York and in my life is not owning a car.” Danza once again became a NYC fixture in 2004, thanks to his two-season run as the host of the daytime talk show “The Tony Danza Show” and, most recently, earning

raves for his leading role in the Broadway musical “Honeymoon in Vegas.” He officially made Manhattan his permanent address in late 2010, and he’s not going anywhere, Danza told Luxury Listings NYC . Besides, “if you want to be on Broadway, you’ve got to be in New York. And I really wanted to be on Broadway,” he adds. Danza made his theatrical debut in the off-Broadway show “Wrong Turn at Lungfish,” where he earned an Outer Critic’s Circle Award nomination. He went on to perform opposite Kevin Spacey in “The Iceman Cometh,” in Arthur Miller’s Tony Award-winning play “A View From the Bridge” and in Mel Brooks’ hit musical “The Producers” playing Max Bialystock. In April, Danza wrapped up a nearly sixmonth run as Tommy Korman, a lovelorn, tap dancing, Sin City poker shark in the critically-acclaimed musical “Honeymoon in Vegas,” based on the 1992 film by the same name. “It’s very much like boxing. It’s a total tightrope walk,” Danza says of performing for a live audience. “What is really great about a big Broadway musical is that the ensemble becomes such a team. If you saw all the stuff that has to go right for the show to go right! I’m talking about backstage choreography. I’m talking about quick changes, crew guys moving props. And when you pull it off it is a really great feeling.” Danza explains that his affinity for the stage goes back to his childhood in East New York. “I got kinda hooked on Broadway as a kid,” he says. “‘West Side Story’ was the first show I ever saw. I loved that show. I didn’t know you could do that on stage. It never occurred to me that you could see people really living life on the stage. It’s wild when it happens, and it doesn’t happen all the time, believe me. But when it does it’s so exciting.” Still, Danza has spent most of his career on television. Asked if he prefers the stage to the studio, he says that he simply enjoys performing regardless of the medium. “I just like acting. I like being an actor,” he says. “But there is nothing in the world like being on stage on Broadway. No one is going to say, ‘Hold it! We don’t like that one. Let’s do it again.’” Offstage, Danza has used his success to support a number of charitable organizations, especially those that focus on youth outreach, an issue with which he has long been concerned. “It’s funny. I’ve always gotten along with kids. But now I want to give back. I wondered, ‘When did this happen to me? It must be of late,’” Danza says. “But then, somebody posted an interview I did with Huell Howser in 1981. I was talking about a movie I was in, when all of a sudden I get into this strange conversation about how I want to help kids. So I guess I’ve been thinking about this for a long time.” Specifically, Danza works with youth charities like the Police Athletic League and the All Stars Project, an after-school program that organizes auditions, talent shows and performance workshops for inner-city youth. “If you want results, it’s one of the greatest programs I’ve ever seen,” he says. He’s also become deeply concerned with reversing the erosive effects of gentrification

18̧̦/X[XU\ /LVWLQJV 1<&̧̦0D\ -XQH

on urban communities — particularly his own. “It’s so much harder to be a kid today than when I was a kid, and I was growing up in East New York in Brooklyn!” he says. Danza remembers the East New York of his childhood as an exciting, friendly, thriving neighborhood, saying that it had a profound and positive impact on his character. “Growing up in New York in the 1950s and 1960s was probably the greatest time and place to be a kid, ever,” Danza says. “It was a working-class community with a lot of kids on the block. All you did was play out in the street. You had relative safety, so you could leave in the morning

Outside the Nederlander.

and come back at dinner, and your parents wouldn’t worry.” The Danzas lived in a small two-story row house near the corner of Pitkin Avenue and Barbey Street, and then at 127 Euclid Avenue between Ridgewood Avenue and Etna Street. His father was a garbage man in the neighborhood, something that he says “was pivotal in my upbringing.” “Somebody would always tell him if I did anything wrong, so there was always that governor on my behavior,” he says. “It was a different world.” He recalls that, for decades, his initials could be found carved into the third

booth at Long’s Ice Cream Parlor on Fulton Street in Cypress Hills. (Today, it’s a “variety store.”) But for Danza, that long-lost graffiti represents more than his self-professed childhood hoodlumism. The physical inscription has acted as an abiding symbolic connection to his beloved Brooklyn community, which he still occasionally visits. “So many kids I work with come from East New York and it’s so tough; it’s poverty. You have to remember we were poor, but nobody was poverty stricken. Poverty is so different now. With poverty you used to get a community. Now you don’t even get that,” he says. “Kids nowadays are bombarded with images that we didn’t have to put up with,” he adds. “Whether it be violent video games or TV shows, the message isn’t to try to be good, to be part of society. Instead they tell you to be a radical individual.” In 2009, Danza decided to reach out to underprivileged urban youth more directly, teaching English at Northeast High School in Philadelphia. The experience resulted in his critically acclaimed book “I’d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had: My Year as a Rookie Teacher at Northeast High,” which spent five weeks on the New York Times Best-Seller List. “When I was teaching I would tell my kids that hard work and good behavior will pay off, but then they would go home and watch ‘Jersey Shore’ and come back and tell me, ‘No, there is another way!’” Danza says. “When you are young, hard work sounds hard, and the easy ways look a lot easier. I think I would have had a tough time growing up in East New York today.” Ironically, while East New York has struggled, Danza has witnessed the once

dangerous streets of Manhattan — he now lives in a premier building on the Upper West Side — wiped clean of not only their crime, but also their vibrancy. “What’s happened in Manhattan is really sad. And the Upper West Side has changed unbelievably. People used to say it was ‘MauMau land,’” he said, referring to the street gangs that once roamed the neighborhood. “It wasn’t upscale. It was kind of dangerous.” But, walk down Columbus Avenue today, he says, “and every single mom-and-pop store that had been there since the 1940s is gone. You have Kate Spade and Theory, but no one is ever in those shops. It’s frustrating. I think the last [mayoral] administration didn’t help.” Pausing to reflect, Danza adds: “It’s like the new slogan of the city is ‘I got mine,

how come you ain’t got yours?’ I’d hate to see New York become a gated community.” Danza doesn’t claim to have a solution, but he is optimistic. “I hope that we will find some kind of balance. It’s tough. If I can get thousands and thousands of dollars for a storefront, and you’ve been with me for 20 years paying much less than that, it’s hard not to take the money. It’s hard to counteract. But in general I think we have to be a more compassionate city.” Danza suggests, half-joking, that instead of an “I love New York” campaign, the city could use an “Our New York” campaign. “That speaks to the fact that we all live in the greatest city in the world, and that it’s up to us to take care of it and to take care of each other,” he says.

Congratulatory notes to Danza in his dressing room.

Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 10 most expensive hotels BY CHRISTOPHER CAMERON

ew York Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luxurious hotel suites command tens of thousands of dollars a night. But what about the entire range of rooms in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top hotels? Luxury Listings looked at the average published rate (APR) at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier hotels to rank Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priciest lodgings. The results may surprise you. The Peninsula New York â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a lavish turn-of-the-century institution on Fifth Avenue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; took the pinnacle position in the ranking, while iconic inns like the Waldorf Astoria didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the cut. Still, many of the likely suspects are here, like the Plaza, the Ritz-Carlton and the Pierre.

24Ě§ĚŚ/X[XU\ /LVWLQJV 1<&Ě§ĚŚ0D\ -XQH

Of course, all the hotels on the list offer the best of the best: immaculate rooms, top-notch service, magnificent amenities and prime locations. In fact, with so much in common, it can be difficult to differentiate one lavish belle epoch lobby from another. But, according to industry experts, what makes one hotel stand above another has often been decided years before a guest checks in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; meaning, at the top of the market, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about branding. The reason a guest might chose the St. Regis versus the Ritz-Carlton â&#x20AC;&#x153;has to do with the brand of the hotel,â&#x20AC;? said Margaret Bay, a Brown Harris Stevens broker, who markets high-end hotel suites, like the two $250,000-a-month penthouses at the New

York Palace hotel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The services at all these hotels are really great. The difference is brand allegiance. Some people only stay at the Four Seasons, others only stay at Starwood hotels.â&#x20AC;? But that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to say brand-savvy travelers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t price sensitive. According to Kitt Garrett, the founder of the bespoke travel agency Discover New York, even at the top of the market, life plays out on paper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone is trying to decide between a few luxury hotels in the same area with similar vibes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all going to come down to who has a better deal,â&#x20AC;? she said. With that in mind, here is a look at the rates, services and amenities at Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priciest hotels.

Great escapes A look at the priciest tri-state area hotels BY CHRISTOPHER CAMERON

lustered in the most exclusive enclaves of New York and Connecticut, these hotels give Manhattan a run for its money, both in terms of price and luxury. Guests often get far more for their dollar outside the city â&#x20AC;&#x201D; say, an entire cottage vs. a single room. So compared to most uptown hotels, these country getaways offer a lot of value for truly unique and high-end experiences.

Stewart Lane’s Tonys, lined up in a row.

CELEB CRIBS

A producer and a gentleman At home with Tony Award-winning Broadway veteran Stewart Lane BY CHRISTOPHER CAMEROŅ_̧PHOTOGRAPHED BY STUDIO SCRIVO

icking a hit show is a gut feeling,” says powerhouse Broadway producer Stewart Lane, standing by a window in his wood-paneled library in his Upper East Side penthouse. “I don’t try and second-guess critics or pander to the public. I just try and find the best way to tell a story.” Lane, an affable, name-dropping impresario, is an omnivorous collector of stories. His most recent hit, “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder,” which he produced with his wife Bonnie Comley, won a Tony for Best Musical last year. Lane is also an actor and a writer — his most recent book, “Black Broadway: African Americans on the Great White Way,” was released in February. Not surprisingly, Lane’s home, which overlooks the copper domes of the St. Jean Baptiste Church on Lexington Avenue and East 76th Street, is chockablock with objects of personal significance, chosen more for their stories than their aesthetics. There are framed signatures (from Irving Berlin, P.T. Barnum and Benjamin Franklin), fine artworks (by Robert Mapplethorpe, Salvador Dali and Victor Vasarely) and old New York memorabilia (like Tiffany-style ceiling fixtures and panels from the old Tavern on the Green). And then there are his Tonys. For our Luxury Listings NYC photo shoot, Lane gathers his six Tony Awards next to him in the library. (“La Cage aux Folles,” “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and “War Horse” are just a few of his other award-winning successes.) For good measure, Comley — a broadcast journalist turned Broadway producer — adds her three Tonys to the mix. Even for Lane, the sight of nine Tonys gathered together is exciting. He can’t help but smile posed next to them. But unlike many who have lived with decades of success, Lane isn’t inured to either his fortune or his collection of prestigious accolades. He loves playing the good-humored raconteur, lighting up when he talks about the Tonys. “Growing up in New York, my exposure to Broadway was the Sunday Arts and Leisure section of the New York Times,” Lane says, adding that his parents were of the generation who thought

“When I was 33 and won my first Tony, I screamed, ‘We did it!’” —Stewart Lane

it was a waste of money to take a child to a Broadway show. “Winning a Tony was a dream. So when I was 33 and won my first Tony, I screamed, ‘We did it!’” Lane’s enthusiasm and uncanny ability to remember — and give credit to — every writer, performer and stagehand he’s worked with over the years suggests that his passion for Broadway transcends pecuniary success. He gives the impression that had the theater not made him rich, he might have done it all anyway, money be damned. In fact, Lane says that from age 10, when he saw his first Broadway show, he knew “this was the life me.”

Growing up in Great Neck, Lane, 63, remembers watching the “Twilight Zone” at his friend Ricky’s house, and wondering why Ricky’s dad wasn’t at work. “One day I asked, ‘Ricky, doesn’t your father work?’ And Ricky said, ‘Yeah, my dad is an actor and he works at night.’ I thought, ‘Wow! What a great concept,’ but I never talked to his father, and I had never seen anything his father had done, so I didn’t think much about. That is until Ricky tells me that his father is in a Broadway show.” Lane had never been to a Broadway performance, and he jumped at Ricky’s invitation to see a musical. “We drove into the city

and went inside this beautiful theater — not one of those matchbox movies houses in the suburbs — to see Ricky’s father, Sid Caesar, in ‘Little Me.’” Of course, Caesar had already been a television star when the 1962 musical was written for him. Neil Simon’s script cast Caesar in multiple roles, including all of the heroine’s husbands and lovers. Lane was entranced. “We went backstage and I saw Sid holding court. It was all friendship and camaraderie. That was it; I was hooked on Broadway.” CONTINUED ON PG 32

That initial childhood thrill matured into an artistic passion. After graduating from Boston University, where he now sits on the boards of trustees and overseers, he hit the stage, earning his place in the actors union performing in a production of “Oklahoma!” at the Little Theater in Sullivan, Illinois. Since those early days, Lane has worked as an actor, stage manager, writer, director or producer, virtually without pause. And not all of his shows made a splash. In fact, one of his first shows was a monumental failure. “Early on, I produced ‘The Grand Tour’ with music by Jerry Herman and [the actor] Joel Grey. But the show was a flop. It ran three months and didn’t make any money,” Lane recalls. “I was thinking, ‘Oh God! I’ll never work in this town again!’ But I learned very quickly that there is always another show.” Lane adds that, in a way, that early defeat gave him the connections to produce his first big hit. “Because I worked with Jerry [Herman], I was able to get him back on ‘La Cage aux Folles,’ which turned out to be a big hit,” he says. “There are no failures, just learning experiences.” Today, those “experiences” have given Lane the comfort to pick and choose the shows he believes in; he is currently working

32̧̦/X[XU\ /LVWLQJV 1<&̧̦0D\ -XQH

on a new musical, “A Moment in Time,” with music by John Denver. His hits have garnered him the money to maintain his art collections, a stake in the Tribeca Grill with Robert De Niro as well as co-ownership of the sumptuous Palace Theatre on Broadway between 46th and 47th streets. Some 18 years ago, he was also able to buy his New York City dream home on East 76th Street, where he and Comley have lived ever since. “It’s the only duplex in the building. It has the only fireplace,” Lane says of his apartment, which also boasts a sweeping curved staircase at the entrance, five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and three terraces. Still, even after nearly two decades in his well-appointed home, a life of luxury feels like a relatively new and welcome development, Lane says, one that he could have managed without. “I’m a diehard New Yorker, so even in the 1970s, which was the grimiest, dirtiest, most graffiti-ridden time in the city, I loved it,” he exclaims. “Things were happening, it was exciting. The city is more boring now, but I’m older now, and a little more boring myself.” “Do I miss the drug dealers and the hookers? Do I miss the crime? Yeah, there is a certain nostalgia for the three-card Monte

hustlers, but not enough to say that I want them back, or that I miss them,” he adds. Nonetheless, Lane enjoys looking backward. Whether it’s collecting eclectic bits of history, or producing shows nostalgic for the je ne sais quoi of a bygone age (“A Gentleman’s Guide,” “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and “War Horse”), Lane has made history his ultimate labor of love. In 2011, Lane published “Jews on Broadway: An Historical Survey of Performers, Playwrights, Composers, Lyricists and Producers.” In it, Lane explores the creative impact of Jewish people on New York theater. And in his latest book, “Black Broadway,” he unburies forgotten black performers and highlights the contributions of legendary African-American stars like James Earl Jones and Josephine Baker. “It’s my hope that ‘Black Broadway’ serves as a guide to the many people who have blazed a trail to the Great White Way and made it more accessible to everyone — black and white — who seeks to entertain and enlighten us through the performing arts,” Lane writes in the introduction to the colorful and intensely researched book. As a storyteller and historian of show business, Lane understands better than most that Broadway reflects society, both the good and the bad. In his writing and his shows, he’s not interested in passing holier-thanthou judgments on past mistakes, but rather in telling the tall tales of characters who beat the odds. “Look at ‘La Cage aux Folles,’ Lane says. “Back in the early 1980s people said I was nuts for producing a gay musical. But just look at it! Yes, it is making a social statement, but it is about loyalty, friendship, love and connection. It’s also very funny and has a great score. That’s what theater is about: bringing people together.”̦

TECHNOLOGY

If you make sure you’re connected The wiring’s in the wall: Discreet, hi-tech “smart homes” are a Manhattan must-have BY JENNIFER WHITE KARP

or many New Yorkers today, it’s not enough for a home to have the right location, square footage, finishes and furnishings. A truly luxurious home also has to be “smart,” meaning the lighting, climate, security and entertainment systems can be operated by computer, phone (and eventually, even your watch). These systems, which emerged years ago in a limited fashion, have now been joined by a torrent of new products, enabled by a breakthrough in technology. That’s because, until recently, hooking up to the so-called “Internet of Things” was a tricky — and expensive — endeavor. In the past, smart appliances required the installation of specialized wireless hubs. But now cheaper, more efficient chips are available — these can connect almost any product to the Internet via Wi-Fi, or to a mobile phone through Bluetooth. “Buyers of luxury apartments now expect many of these technologies to be pre-installed by developers before they move in,” said Mark Hernandez, CEO of Cliqk, a New York-based installation company. “These luxury technology ‘musthave’ amenities include motorized shades, automated lighting, in-wall speaker systems and even heating and cooling control via smart thermostats like Nest. We are starting to see these appear as bullet points in broker sell sheets as well.” But that doesn’t mean buyers considering older homes will miss out on the trend. Installation companies said that with today’s more robust and reliable wireless technologies, smart solutions can be retrofitted in any home — even in the most staid of pre-war co-op buildings — without time-consuming wire installation. For example, a large apartment could be flooded with commercial-grade Wi-Fi to create strong coverage. Integrated entertainment systems are high on New Yorkers’ wish lists, according to area installation companies. They report that Sonos, a multi-room audio streaming system, and streaming video players like Roku and Apple TV are must-haves.

34̧̦/X[XU\ /LVWLQJV 1<&̧̦0D\ -XQH

Streaming is the key word. In the past, sending content to multiple television sets in a home required expensive and complex wiring. Now users enjoy fewer cable boxes and less locally stored media. Hernandez said his clients use Google’s Chromecast device at parties, which allows “everyone with an iPhone or Android phone to queue up music video playlists on YouTube or Vevo to relive your MTV glory days.”

RIGHT: An artist on the Upper West Side asked Cloud9 to automate lights, shades and put in wall speakers throughout the home. BELOW: A gut renovation on the Upper East Side by Cloud9 added automation throughout the home with all components tucked away in a closet.

Cliqk recently launched a new website where users can book smart home installation services online at fixed prices ranging from $399 to $3,499. “We also offer packages targeting specific audiences like a smart nursery, offering a baby monitor, white noise machine and automated lighting,” said Hernandez. “‘Genius Kosher’ is for our Jewish customers and offers automated lighting and shading

control that is pre-programmed to go on and off during the Sabbath.â&#x20AC;? Jordan Wills, director of marketing for Cloud9 Smarthome, a New York City-based home automation company, said its basic four-room audio solution costs around $5,000 and includes wireless speakers throughout the home. According to him, a typical two-bedroom home with audio, video, lighting and shades runs around $60,000 to $70,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our higher-end jobs can run up to $250,000, which include audiophile-level speakers, mechanized hiding of televisions, panelized lighting and motorized double shades throughout the home,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Space is an issue in Manhattan,â&#x20AC;? Wills said. The company works with developers, making apartments and hotel rooms smart during construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number-one priority with our clients seems to be hiding the technology. What they do see needs to have an aesthetic appeal thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in line with their vision, and that of the architect and designer.â&#x20AC;? The other crucial element is ease-of-use, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our customers require a system that their in-laws can use when in town.â&#x20AC;? The installation costs for a smart home may be relatively expensive, but there are incentives. For example, the makers of Nest thermostat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which programs itself and can be controlled from a phone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; say it can help homeowners save up to 20 percent on heating and cooling bills. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the peace-of-mind factor: Commercials for Time Warnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IntelligentHome, a home monitoring and security system, show vacationers keeping watch over their homes from exotic locations. But, as with all things tech, the strongest pull is the siren call of the cutting-edge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely becoming a status symbol to have some high-tech connectivity in your home,â&#x20AC;? said Cassie Slane, a technology expert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Consumers, especially those between the ages of 18 and 49, want homes that can be controlled with a smartphone or tablet and are more interested in buying homes that already have these features installed. When a homeowner whips out their smartphone and can control their homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lighting, HVAC and entertainment system, it is definitely impressive.â&#x20AC;? As Slane points out, smart-home technology is a luxury amenity offered by New York City rental buildings as well. A new service aimed at renters called IOTAS partners with real estate developers to

install smart appliance-ready outlets and sensors prior to move in, so â&#x20AC;&#x153;renters get access to smart technology without having to pay upfront costs,â&#x20AC;? she said. In the view of Jack Borenstein, president of New York City-based Ultimate Sound & Installations, New Yorkers embrace smart homes differently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Yorkers have a greater need for efficiency of time, space and convenience than perhaps any other city except Tokyo,â&#x20AC;? he said. Borensteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clients ask his company to integrate their entertainment systems, lighting, HVAC, security and motorized shades. In one of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more challenging jobs, a $400,000 project at a residence on Central Park West and 103rd Street, the homeowners wanted a Kaleidescape, a $4,000 cloud-based multiroom movie player, installed. In addition, they wanted to make the HVAC, security, lighting and audio and visual systems smart. The homeowners also wanted a motorized frame for the TV in the living room, a custom TV behind a mirror in the bathroom, a motorized TV mechanism that drops down from the ceiling in the kitchen and another motorized TV mechanism that retracts from the wall in the library. Thanks to the retractable components

MANHATTAN MARKET ROUNDUP

BAND OF BILLIONAIRES New York City led the price surge in the global luxury real estate market in 2014 BY TESS HOFMANN AND KONRAD PUTZIER

alues in New York Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luxury market have grown more in the past year than values in competing global markets, according to a recent wealth report from global property consultancy Knight Frank. The Prime International Residential Index, which measures the performance of prime real estate in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top luxury cities and second-home markets, shows that the prices of New York luxury homes increased by 18.8 percent during 2014, topping the list of locations. Of the 10 markets where luxury values appreciated the most, four are located in the U.S. Just after New York is Aspen, ranked second with 16 percent growth, San Francisco is sixth with 14.3 percent growth and Los Angeles is 10th with 13 percent growth. American cities rounding out the top 20 are Miami (#17 on the list, with 9.8 percent growth) and Washington, D.C. (#19, at 8.7 percent growth). The report notes that the threat of Mayor Bill de Blasioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pied-Ă -terre tax doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to have discouraged ultrahigh-net-worth individuals from buying second homes in New York. London, however, is a different story: The city has seen growth curtailed in prices of properties valued over ÂŁ2 million ($2.95 million) due to a new â&#x20AC;&#x153;stamp duty,â&#x20AC;? or purchase tax, limiting the value increase there to just 5.1 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which tied London with Bangkok and Madrid in 32nd place on Knight Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list. Overall, U.S. luxury real estate had a stellar year, increasing in value almost 13 percent nationwide, while worldwide values rose 2 percent and top European cities saw just 2.5 percent growth. Other top performers were Bali in Indonesia and Istanbul in Turkey. In both markets, luxury prices increased 15 percent.

Jakarta, last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-ranked city, slipped to 12th place this year with growth of 11.2 percent, which the report says is typical of the luxury market slowdown in many Asian cities last year. Dubai, which was once a frontrunner with 17 percent growth in 2013, slowed to 0.3 percent growth, partially due to the Central Bank of the United Arab Emiratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mortgage cap, while government policies in China that have been aimed at controlling values also slowed growth in the biggest luxury markets there, such as Shanghai (0 percent), Beijing (-0.5 percent) and Guangzhou (0.6 percent). Knight Frank also predicts that by 2025, New York City will be home to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest number of super-rich, surpassing London, the current leader. At a panel discussion on the 64th floor of One World Trade Center last month, Knight Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head of research, Liam Bailey, said a driver of this shift is the increased emigration of multimillionaires from certain countries such as Russia and China. A staggering 33 percent of Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultra wealthy, for example, are considering moving to another country, he said. At the event, leaders in the luxury business discussed some of the ramifications of this trend. While the influx of foreign wealth has been an obvious boon to New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real estate industry, it has also created difficulties, such as worries over a luxury condo bubble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One area of weakness are the $100 million penthouses,â&#x20AC;? said Howard Lorber, chair of Douglas Elliman, which formed a partnership with Knight Frank in October. Lorber argues that there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough demand for the number of units in this price class that have hit the market. He also cautions that some wealthy buyers may not have the patience to wait for a new skyscraperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most buyers want instant gratification, and the long lead time sort of hurts QHZ GHYHORSPHQW Ěš KH VDLG ĚŚ

Last year, actress DEMI MOORE began a â&#x20AC;&#x153;whisperâ&#x20AC;? listing campaign to sell her SAN REMO pad for $75 MILLION, according to the New York Times. But last month she officially listed the unit, PH26C. The triplex has roughly 7,000 square feet of interior living space and 1,500 square feet of wraparound terraces, with views of the park, river and city. If Moore receives her $75 million asking price, it would set a record for an Upper West Side co-op and more than double the in-house record of $26.4 million at the San Remo.

News Corp. and 21st Century Fox chairman RUPERT MURDOCH is asking a whopping $72 MILLION for his penthouse at ONE MADISON, just over a year after purchasing the unit and another one in the building for $57.3 million. Murdoch listed the triplex penthouse as raw space; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently under construction. Last year, he purchased it along with a three-bedroom, one-story apartment on the floor beneath. He will be keeping the smaller unit but will live in a Downtown townhouse, the Wall Street Journal reported.
