TRIBECA IS #3
Works fine for me because…Hudson Yards?? I never would have guessed that one. Who wants to live in a mall? Anyway, The Times has a story on the city’s most expensive neighborhoods, and we clock in at #3, behind HY and Soho. Our median sale price for this past quarter was $2.9 million. The city average was $785K in early 2024, according to this report from Comptroller Brad Lander.

THE MILLER FAMILY TRAGEDY
The Times has a most-read story in the tragedy behind Brandon Miller, who died by suicide on July 3, and his family’s debt and real estate frauds. “How an Instagram-Perfect Life in the Hamptons Ended in Tragedy” partly takes place in Tribeca, where Miller lived in the building he and his father built — 137 Franklin, the former empty wedge at the bottom of Varick. It’s a complicated, sad tale.

DISNEY WRAPPING UP IN HUDSON SQUARE
Yimby reports that construction is just about done at the new Disney HQ — a 22-story tower at 7 Hudson Square on Spring and Varick, where the original City Winery was. “Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and developed by Silverstein Properties, 338-foot-tall structure will yield 1.2 million square feet of offices, film and production studios, and ground-floor retail space.”

570 WASHINGTON ON THE WAY UP
Not in our backyard, but still of note due to its proximity to Pier 40: construction is well underway at 570 Washington, the block-square site just north of the new Google building. Designed by COOKFOX Architects and developed by Zeckendorf Development, Atlas Capital, and The Baupost Group, the site will eventually be a $1.25 billion complex with a 29- and 36-story tower rising 400 and 450 feet and will have 100 condos and 175 affordable senior living homes and commercial on the lower levels. The senior living will be in the tower called 570 Washington; the condos will be in 80 Clarkson. YIMBY has the full story here.
