What’s in a name? ● Tishman Speyer just unveiled its renaming 666 Third Avenue, 6 Grand Central. ● 452 Fifth Avenue is now 10 Bryant Park. ● Taconic Partners's new development, originally 2 Hudson Street, is now One Grand. ● 22 Vanderbilt, one of today's most sought after buildings in Manhattan, was 335 Madison for years. To me, a lot is in a name. There have been studies that show people named Jack are four times more likely than people named Phillip to live in Jacksonville, and that people named Georgia are twice as likely to move to Georgia compared to other names. In 1990, Dennis was the 40th most common male name in the U.S., yet if your name was Dennis, you were almost twice as likely to become a dentist. Studies also found that in randomized, controlled experiments, people help others with similar names, buy products that match their initials, and are attracted to dates who share their initials. I married someone that shares the same name as me!!! Because there is a push to be near Grand Central, having "Grand" in your building's name helps. Also, who wouldn't want to work near a park? There is now 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 Bryant Park, instead of all their Sixth Avenue addresses. X Bryant Park sure beats X Sixth Avenue. Naming (and renaming) buildings is a fun aspect of real estate. It's a lever owners and agents can pull to rebrand their building and change the identity of the asset. Given how strongly humans associate with names, I think it's significant. #commercialrealestate #realestate #development #officespace

This past weekend, open house attendance in New York City experienced a significant decline, dropping by 9.5% to an average of 3.03 parties per open house. This marks the fourth consecutive weekend of declining attendance, with figures decreasing from 3.85 on February 4th. In Brooklyn, the average attendance decreased by 21%, while Manhattan saw a 20% drop, recording its weakest attendance of the year at 2.08 parties per open house. However, despite the recent dip, this year's attendance is 5.2% better than the same weekend last year. 

The common theme continues across the river .... A recent NY Post article shares how trophy spaces in New York City are experiencing a shortage of available spaces. As businesses adapt to the changing landscape, securing top-tier office space is becoming increasingly competitive on BOTH sides of the Hudson.

WHAT MAKES ATLANTA SO DAMN ARTISTIC? As of 2021, 52% of Atlanta’s population is African American, and that identity crucially informs Atlantan art. Add to that a combination of rich cultural heritage, a vibrant arts scene with many nationally acclaimed art institutions. Then throw in a vast diversity of artistic expression across all forms of art and you get a true hotbed. There's a lot of creativity in Atlanta, and appropriately, the 2024 Creative Placemaking Communities summit was held there this week. Atlanta is a CREATIVE PLACEMAKING demonstration in itself. _________ Torque Real Estate Marketing TORQUE is a real estate marketing agency bringing insight and awareness to the emergence of human experience, properties and the community. #atantarealestate #office #commercialrealestate #architecture #realestate #realestateindustry #marketingagency #realestatemarketing #marketingagency 

🎭 This week brought about a night out with my near teenage son who is a budding architect and huge fan of Kevin Mcloud. We went to the iconic Liverpool Philharmonic Hall for a night with Kevin for his Home Truths tour. 💡 On the way home I asked my son did he have any take aways from the evening: 1️⃣ “I love that Kevin says most of his favourite builds were those which were built near a good pub. I think that would be you mum!” 🤣 2️⃣ “He said design opens up exploration of relationships, design is a process not a catalogue. I want to design original buildings for people who have a dream.” 3️⃣ “Branding obscures the authenticity of a design, the truth of that narrative. I love that you and dad search for something, don’t buy because it’s cheap, look for the back story and only buy once. I want to be like that when I earn money!” I love that despite feeling completely out of his depth being the youngest in the audience he found the evening both informative but also thought provoking, he also understood the values of the business I run. Anybody can design, build and produce, but without strong relationships, real authenticity and strong decisions being made in order to make impact, you’ll probably end up not really wanting the end product and ultimately buying again in the very near future. Happy Friday folks ✅ #clientcentered #authenticitymatters #designexcellence #brandidentity
