Vintage Venue | NY | Turtle Bay | Beekman | Ophelia
Built in 1928, the iconic art deco tower on the East River was originally known as the Panhellenic Tower.  It originally served as a women-only club and hotel space for the national Greek-letter sororities. In 1934, it was rebranded the Beekman Tower and opened to all.

Ophelia sits atop this esteemed monument of classic New York architecture, designed by John Mead Howells and featuring sculptures by Rene Paul Chambellan and a muse for New Yorkers, including one-time regular Frank Sinatra.

Now a cocktail lounge with 360° greenhouse terrace, Manhattan views, custom design, a five-star menu with DJs performing live on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, Ophelia is the perfect destination to begin or end the evening.
Vintage Venue | DC | Georgetown | Fitzgerald's at 1789
1789
Named for the year Georgetown University was founded, 1789 Restaurant is the quintessential Washington, DC, dining experience. Its antique-filled dining rooms offer comfortable surroundings in a renovated Federal house. The contemporary seasonal menu blends the flavors of fresh regional ingredients into unique and delicious dishes. The restaurant was chosen as one of the 20 best restaurants in DC by Condé Nast Traveler.

Manhattan Residential Market Report Q2 2021
Manhattan apartment closings surged in the second quarter, with activity returning to—and in some cases surpassing—pre-COVID-19 levels. The 3,944 sales reported last quarter were more than double that of a year ago, and 38% higher than 2021’s first quarter. A record was set for the number of signed contracts in the second quarter of 2021, so expect closings to remain very strong in our 3Q21 report.

The jump in closings included all price categories, especially resale apartments priced over $5 million. Increasing discounts brought buyers back into this market, with closings more than doubling compared to a year ago—and up 85% from 2021’s first quarter. At 220 Central Park South alone, there were four resale closings, with an average price of $53.4 million.

The explosion of luxury closings brought the average resale price up 21% from just the prior quarter, to its second-highest level ever. Only the second quarter of 2019 posted a higher average resale price, which was driven by pending mansion and transfer tax increases.
Hamptons Residential Market Report Q2 2021
High demand and low inventory continued to define the Hamptons real estate market in the Second Quarter of 2021. The result was another quarter of year-over-year increases in the number of sales, average and median prices and total dollar volume.

Rising by 39.4%, sales of single-family homes in the Hamptons achieved a high of 708 in 2Q21. The Total Dollar Volume for 2Q21 soared 90.9% as compared to 2Q20, with a total of $2.127 Billion.
