Sedesco is planning a 400,000 ft mixed use skyscraper for West 57th Street. This will be a beautiful addition to the Central Park South skyline that will provide the added benefit and needed enlargement of the F train station below. We at Marcus & Pollack LLP are thrilled to be working on the property tax aspects of this signature project. Demir Sabanci is a visionary developer who will give New York City it’s next beautiful edifice.

Happy to share my terrific tax assessment reduction trial result with you. Hotels are in need of very significant tax relief due to overvaluation methodologies used by the NYC Assessors for years, and now the devastating consequences of the Pandemic. Hotel owners, developers and operators take notice that you don’t have to take over taxation anymore – you have to be willing to fight back. The City Tax Assessor can be beaten.

Just when you thought it was safe to go out… Stop any thought of raising taxes. All segments of our City’s economy are suffering the effects of lockdowns, other pandemic calamity, and relentless unyielding burdens of taxation. Give us a break to stand on our feet again. Theatres, hotels, condos, rental apartments, retail and office are all in bad shape. Don’t expand government handouts and bureaucracy with money you don’t have.

Happy Birthday to our Beloved Brooklyn Bridge which celebrates its 138th birthday today. PT Barnum once marched 21 Elephants across to prove its strength. This Bridge was the largest suspension bridge in the world when completed. It brought Brooklyn and Manhattan together, eventually binding the five Boroughs in one great City. Poets, song writers and other artists were enchanted with its beauty and majesty. On September 11th it provided thousands with an escape route from the tragic World Trade Center Collapse. A triumph of design and engineering it is a marvel to behold even today.

Hooray!!! NYC is is beginning toward returning to normal. Restaurants are now open to full capacity bars open too. The temperature is going to reach the 80s, to my fellow former prisoners of the lockdown, if you were vaccinated, throw down that mask, grab a table or barstool at a rooftop or other hot spot and celebrate with me. FDR helped us emerge from the Great Depression by ending Prohibition. Throw off those lockdown shackles and be happy that we are allowed to be free, finally. Now return to work and be normal New Yorkers again.
