“Luxury is subjective, but there is a standard of luxury in the real estate rental world,” says JR Sena at Compass. “For this building, there was an intent to deliver something that somebody could walk into and appreciate the design but, in their own apartments, be able to introduce their own personal style.” Learn more about our Greenpoint residences at The Dupont, now leasing: https://thedupontbk.com/.

“Running in Dana Point?with views of the Pacific Ocean is definitely a tranquil experience,” says Ryan Perez. “As much as I am a proponent for development, there are certain areas that need to be maintained and protected.” Knowing the difference is a big part of his job as senior project manager. “We are currently looking into new product types in our region and I am excited for that challenge. I came up in the general contractor world –?and since I was a teen I have been very intrigued by job sites, with tower cranes, large equipment and watching a rendering come to life in person. I’m excited to draw on my experience and passion to be a part of Rockefeller Group’s continued growth in the West.” Follow Rockefeller Group to hear more from the people who make our properties extraordinary.

Flashback to 2015 — and the final season of Mad Men: Don Draper himself visits an art installation outside the fictional offices of Sterling Cooper, headquartered in the Time & Life Building.

Oceana: Where everybody knows your name — or would like to. “I try to be at the door as often as I possibly can,” says Paul McLaughlin, who acts as both managing partner and wine director for the Midtown mainstay. “I believe there’s nothing better than when you walk into a restaurant and someone calls your name.” Except, maybe, Paul’s recommendation on which wine to order with your lunch: “I look to have a little bit of everything on the list, from the value-oriented white wines from Italy to the more expensive Burgundies. But you can’t go wrong with bubbles: Champagne is one of the best food matches of all time!”

Not every architecture firm has an in-house model shop — or three full-time model designers — but Pickard Chilton does. “Physical models are a fundamental aspect of our work and practice,” says principal Jon Pickard. “A model easily communicates design intent to our clients while also providing our team with invaluable perspective for the discovery of new ideas and iterations.” See what we’re building together: https://600fifth.com/.

"This mural — one that anyone can admire from the street — underscores the impact public art can have," says Elisabeth Baker of her work for Patten Gray. "It might ignite a desire to explore one of the many museums nearby, or even encourage someone to pick up a paintbrush themselves.” Learn more about our Golden Triangle residences: https://pattengray.com/.
