For the past 10 days, I have used Thermador & The real deal I brought a 3 day promotion to New York City. We’ve brought together leading developers and design visionaries for thought-provoking discussions about the future of real estate, design and the trends ahead. From how stakeholders are preparing to ban natural gas, to the flow of technology amenities, to how New Yorkers are getting back to work after Covid, each talk touched on the industry’s most pressing concerns.
Vice President, National Builder Sales at BSH Home Appliances Corporation, JohnMcDonough, kicked off each night by setting the tone for panels – top discussions about overcoming challenges through advancements, implementing solutions that have become pivotal trends, and of course how innovative technology is playing a key role in some of these high profile projects. . “Thermador is constantly pushing the boundaries of research and development capabilities and engineering innovation to develop some of the most sustainable and energy-focused devices. McDonough points out that Thermadors’ mission is to develop and deliver devices that are not only beautiful and complement luxury living spaces, but also go beyond the needs of how each device functions in the space. With natural gas being banned in New York City, Thermador is ready to support that with its wide range of electrical products for any location.

second night
Nadia Miratella, Managing Director, Head of Design at Shvo, and Jeffrey Simpson, Managing Partner at Arch Companies spoke with Amir about their latest developments, buyer profiles they meet, and what tenants are really looking for. Miratla spoke about the latest developments from Shov, Mandarin Oriental Residence, on 5th Ave and the latest, lush amenities that truly make this development a desirable property for residents. Simpson also spoke about her portfolio of developments and shifts in investments across the country as some clients are moving out of their home state of New York to consider leveraging investments for greater return in states throughout the Southeast.
third night
To close the show, associate publisher Hiten Samtani moderated a discussion between Fisher Brothers MD Crystal Fisher and David Rockwell, founder and president of The Rockwell Group. Technology was the main focus of the evening, with both speakers touching on its ever-growing role as a convenience. Discussions about how project stakeholders viewed ways to simplify applications for their clients were an interesting talking point; The ability to move away from the six different apps to control every single task is now being worked on where a single platform can help simplify and automate everyday jobs or make it easier. Additionally, the use of technology for more sustainable applications continues to break the Rockwell envelope, as he talks about researching the best companies to support the visions of each of their projects.
