At 450,000 square feet and 87 residential units, Tower 270 was one of the largest combined-use real estate renovation projects ever undertaken in Manhattan.

The RAL team established new and successful strategies to deal with all aspects of the project including revising the unit sales approach, refocusing hotel/resort management and operations on bottom line effects, implementing owner outreach programs and restructuring the condo-hotel’s rental program. The result was dramatically increased sales velocity and reduced vacancy rates for the rental program.
