But while the name is changing, the definition has not: It refers to the la...
As part of the wave of office-to-residential conversions sweeping over Manhattan, few buildings have been as primly positioned for for-sale residences as 67 Irving Place.

With its interlocking zigzag design, this classic flooring pattern dates back over 2,000 years to the Roman Empire,...
Office-to-residence conversions have become increasingly commonplace thanks to recently approved rezonings, but some conversions offer a more creative history than the typical banking or insurance tower. In the heart of Hell's Kitchen, a recording studio used by the likes of The Beatles, Bruce Sp...
The week ending January 31, 2026 marked a return to a full business week after the federal holiday the previous week.
