Nussbaum's tale is a lens into the gray economy of the frum , where huge deals are often done on a handshake and under the aegis of a close-knit community. We also explore New York's new push for a pied-a-terre tax , which has serious momentum with Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul in lockstep. Finally, we look at how Dubai billionaire developer Hussain Sajwani's luxury condo at the site of the Surfside tragedy has yet to sell a single unit – a new development launch is like an IPO - you only get one shot at setting the narrative. Plus, our Punch List rundown of the newsiest industry happenings: SREIT's $1.7B refi, SL Green's Hyundai Tribeca rescue, more Stargate troubles and Ares' C-PACE bet.
