From the elite sanctuaries of the 19th century to the modern exclusivity of Soho House, New York City’s social clubs have mirrored the city’s shifting power dynamics and cultural movements. While the traditional clubs endure, the city’s newer social spaces reflect a redefinition of what it means to “belong” in New York: values such as creativity, connectivity, and diversity. New York City Redefines Elite Social Networking Maybe New Yorkers are simply getting more creative, but the definition of what constitutes an elite social club is also branching out farther than ever from its aristocratic roots. Clubs synonymous with the spaces…

The Most Expensive ZIP Codes in Georgia In order to identify the most expensive ZIP codes in each state, this analysis relied on data from Zillow’s home value index,…
Montana has absolutely transformed over the last 50 years. Its population has increased by 64%, from 694,409 in 1970 to 1,137,233 in 2024. Its economy has dramatically changed and the level of wealth has surged. And a good amount of the growth in wealth occurred since the pandemic as high-income remote workers relocated to Big Sky Country. This study analyzed 497 cities — what the Census Bureau designates as “places” — in Montana that had complete data from the Census Bureau, in terms of their median household income, mean (average) household income, median home value, and median property taxes paid…
What are the best cities to live in the world? Every year, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) sets out to answer that question with its highly anticipated Global Liveability Index, which was just released. The 2025 edition evaluates 173 cities using 30 indicators across five broad categories: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Each city is then given a score out of 100 points, which assesses how comfortable it is to live there. The World’s Best City To Live For the first time since 2022—when I began covering the EIU’s Global Liveability report—Vienna has lost the top spot.…
The big blank space on the wall between my Tampa kitchen and family room practically begged for a piece of furniture – and I knew just what I wanted. I’d seen craftsman style cabinets in one of my favorite upscale furniture brand catalogs. Then I saw one that looked just like them for a fraction of the price from another source. The pictures and description were similar, so I placed an order for it. When the shipment arrived, I noticed that the hardware was poorly made, but got it assembled and set up in its new place of honor. I…
If we’re considering the big picture, what’s the most valuable lifestyle amenity a new residential development can offer? It may be the inclusion of public spaces usable not only by residents, but by members of surrounding communities as well. These spaces don’t just serve as intriguing design embellishments, but also as a means of forging deeper ties between the developments and their residents and the public at large. Some have remarked the trend signals developers’ increasing willingness to embrace a literally more “down-to-earth” philosophy, investing not just in rooftop fitness centers and pools, but in ground-level activations the public can…

In every deal, sellers optimize for two variables: price and time. In the real world, however, those variables are deeply entangled. Time on the market isn’t free. It imposes a discount. And, like in finance, where holding an asset too long incurs costs, holding a listing introduces risk. We quantified that risk by tracking how asking prices deteriorate as listings age. The result is a measure of what we call asking price decay. It’s a concept that mirrors the financial world, where traders account for “theta,” which is the loss of value in an option as time passes. In real…
IOI Properties—controlled by Malaysian billionaire brothers Lee Yeow Chor and Lee Yeow Seng—is weighing its options on how it could monetize its commercial real estate in Singapore and Malaysia, worth almost $9 billion based on analyst estimates. The Kuala Lumpur-listed company has been expanding its property footprint in Singapore where it recently agreed to take full ownership of South Beach—a mixed use property housing the JW Marriott Hotel and an office tower—in a deal valuing the complex at S$2.75 billion ($2.1 billion) by acquiring the 50.1% stake of City Developments, which is controlled by billionaire Kwek Leng Beng and his…
Where other states in the Midwest have struggled with population decline, Indiana has held strong. Back in 2000, the population of Indiana was a little over a million. By 2024, the population had grown by 14%, reaching 6.92 million. As part of an ongoing series of analyses, states have been examined using the latest Census Bureau data to determine which the richest cities in the state are. For this study, the focus is Indiana. This study analyzed 976 cities — what the Census Bureau designates as “places” — in Indiana that had complete data from the Census Bureau, in terms…
Every Angeleno makes the climb into the Hollywood Hills at least once. There’s a mood shift as you leave the sidewalk stars and tourist traps behind. You trade souvenir shops for sweeping views. Honking horns for hummingbirds. Is it chaos if two cars approach a narrow turn at once? Of course. But there’s something undeniably cinematic about the ascent—views flickering through the trees, historic homes perched like cameos and a hush that sets in just as your ears start to pop. Welcome to Outpost Estates, one of Los Angeles’ most moneyed neighborhoods. This hillside enclave has long drawn the famous,…
