1) Tribeca: An insider report from Bobby D's new Downtown Hotel. "The place is a throwback to Manhattan design of the past, right down to the vaulted ceilings and handmade bricks. The top floor will be 2 Penthouse Duplexes and the lobby will have the required superstar restaurant. It won't be open until 2007." No word on rooftop hot tubs though. [CurbedWire Inbox]

Knowing that more detail was required, the study reveals that "average attendance for studio and one bedroom units was 9.7 people, but average attendance for 2-3 bedrooms apartments was 3.3 people per open house." Thank you Barak Realty. [CurbedWire Inbox]
