Show Notes
This week, it's Tupac vs Biggie, commercial real estate edition: We dive into a deal on each coast that brings together all the things that we think make CRE the greatest show on earth. Rapacious lenders, billion-dollar-dreams, broken capital stacks & creative financing. In New York, we look at the saga of 172 Madison Avenue, Yitzchak Tessler's moonshot condo project that ended in multiple bankruptcies. And in Beverly Hills, we look at the star-studded history of the One Beverly Hills site, and how a motley crew of billionaire Todd Boehly, "Russian James Bond" Vlad Doronin, and Beverly Hills wheeler-dealer Beny Alagem are putting together a $5B hospitality mecca.
