NEW YORK CITY — Nine West Holdings Inc., a New York-based women’s shoe and apparel wholesaler, has filed for bankruptcy after accumulating $1.6 billion in debt. As a result, the company plans to close all 70 of its brick-and-mortar retail stores. The company joins Toys ‘R’ Us, The Walking Company, Bon-Ton and Claire’s as prominent retailers to file for bankruptcy in the last year. An unidentified lender has provided $300 million in debtor-in-possession financing. The company also entered into a restructuring support agreement with the holders of 78 percent of its secured term debt and 89 percent of its unsecured term debt. The loan and agreement will allow the Nine West to remain an ongoing wholesale entity during bankruptcy proceedings.

Manhattan Multifamily Building Sales Slow in 2017 after 2016 Surge

by David Cohen April 11, 2018

In 2017, the multifamily investment sales market in New York City followed the trends seen within the broader market with sales volumes dropping while property values were mixed. The year ended on a high note with regard to contract execution activity, which bodes well for sales volume in 2018. This year, we expect volumes to rise while values bottom out and start to climb by the end of the year as positive movements in fundamentals start to exert upward pressure on property values. With regard to the number of properties sold, there were 1,215 apartment buildings sold last year, down 19 percent from the 1,507 that were sold in 2016. The elevator building sector, which we differentiate from walk-up buildings as a separate asset class, performed better with 235 sales, down 14 percent from the 273 elevator buildings that were sold in 2016. In the walk-up sector, there were 980 sales, down 21 percent from the 1,234 walk-up buildings that were sold in 2016. If we compare the Manhattan submarket to the outer boroughs, we see that activity in the outer boroughs held up much better than in Manhattan. In the outer boroughs, elevator building sales dropped by 13 percent …
