Best & Final: Gary Barnett’s Big Ol’… Buildings (November 18, 2025)
The November 18, 2025 episode of "Best & Final" opens with Extell’s latest power moves — a $36 million air-rights deal with Saint Thomas Church, a mezzanine-debt position that could hand them One Worldwide Plaza, and a new 25-story tower filing on West 66th Street — before moving into a full slate of market activity, including Mori Trust’s $541 million acquisition at Hudson Yards, new prewar-inspired luxury designs along Fifth Avenue, distress signals at the New York Times Building and NoMo SoHo, Brooklyn’s 1,000-unit surge in Greenpoint, an $85 million rental trade in DUMBO, and the city’s newly unveiled modernization plan for the Manhattan Cruise Terminal.
