Really sad actually. Stayed there a couple times--definitely my favorite hotel in NYC. It was built in the titanic-era and still retained a lot of that classic luxury/charm. Manhattan will be losing something iconic :-/

I am curious as to how much these things will cost. Would love to move to NYC, but my budget for a small 1-bedroom would be ~$500k. I would be shocked to see any of these go for less than $1m.

I would be shocked to see any of these go for less than $1m. Reality is in between those two. The 1BR condos in that building will start around $2M. The upper floor penthouses will likely be in the $20+M range. --- - The Admiral ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sad day. This place was in one of my favorite movies...Coming to America.
I also stayed there with my girlfriend at the time for the purpose of hotel sex. Beautiful room. We ordered some hot chocolate cake and the server thought she was my wife. --- Sig under construction! ... Copied to Clipboard!

btw I don't know why people are surprised about China. Remember all that talk for years about how China was pumping out like 200,000 engineers and scientists a day? They weren't joking. China is an economic empire.
