The Partnership Releases The Flatiron & NoMad Real Estate Snapshot Newsletter, Q1 2021
Apr 27, 2021
Dear Flatiron & NoMad business and real estate professionals,
Since 2006, the Flatiron 23rd Street Partnership has worked to enhance the reputation of Flatiron and NoMad as two of New York’s most vital and exciting neighborhoods. We accomplish this by maintaining a clean and safe environment for the district’s businesses, visitors, and residents; by spearheading public realm improvements; and by marketing the diverse business and retail options in our vibrant and historic neighborhood.
The impact the pandemic has had on our greater district cannot be overstated, but we are encouraged by early signs of recovery in and around the neighborhood. Flatiron & NoMad’s enduring assets – its central location, world-class dining, retail and culture establishments, and iconic public spaces – position us well for a bounce back. That’s why we’re seeing a wide variety of businesses bet on Flatiron.
As part of our work, Partnership staff closely monitors and analyzes economic indicators, data, and trends for Flatiron/NoMad. Each quarter culminates with the publishing of our Quarterly Market Snapshot along with a foot traffic report that shares pedestrian volumes passing through the Flatiron Public Plazas. These resources are paired with a real-time interactive Retail Opportunities Map that lives on our website.
Going forward, our team, led by Nicole Mandel and Kurt Cavanaugh, will package and send quarterly reports in a brief newsletter titled the Flatiron & NoMad Real Estate Snapshot. This newsletter will summarize links to the full reports highlighting trends and major economic news from the previous three months. The first of these newsletters will hit your inbox tomorrow. The Flatiron & NoMad Real Estate Snapshot is designed for you and your colleagues, so we welcome any and all feedback along with collaborative ideas.
If you’re new to the neighborhood or the Partnership, welcome! Please check out our website and let us know how we can best serve as a resource for you and your business colleagues. Feel free to click here to sign up for this newsletter as well as our general community weekly newsletter.
Respectfully,
James Mettham
Executive Director
