Site of Midtown Shooting Is Owned by Rudin Management and Houses N.F.L. and Blackstone

New York Times4 days ago
The Midtown Manhattan skyscraper where a gunman killed a police officer and shot additional people on Monday afternoon houses several financial firms and other offices, including those of the investment giant Blackstone and the National Football League.
A 44-story tower at 345 Park Avenue, the building is also home to the offices of the accounting and financial advisory firm KPMG, the German investment fund Deutsche Bank, the consulate general of Ireland and the Rudin Management real estate firm.
The building occupies an entire block bordered by 51st and 52nd Streets and Lexington Avenue and is one of the handful of buildings in Manhattan to have its own ZIP code.
It is owned by Rudin, one of the oldest real estate firms in New York. The firm owns office buildings and residential towers totaling about 15 million square feet of space in New York City.
The building is situated in the busy commercial district of Midtown, an area packed with office towers that house major corporations and financial institutions. To its immediate north is the Seagram Building, the 1958 bronze monolith by Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson; to the south is the Sotheby's Institute of Art.

IPO market heats up: These 4 names prepare to go public next

EquityZen head of market insight Brianne Lynch joins Market Domination with Josh Lipton to discuss the initial public offering (IPO) market in light of Figma's (FIG) recent public debut and whether companies need to have an artificial intelligence (AI) story to succeed. She also shares which private companies are likely to go public next. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination. Which are the possible candidates in your opinion, that would be on your radar, who might be willing to test the public markets this year? Sure. So, you know, several of the names on our IPO outlook for the year have already gone public. But there are a few that we're still waiting on. One of the big ones being Klarna. This is a company that was planning to go public in the spring, tabled those plans given the volatility in the market post deliberation day. Uh but they're reportedly now looking at a September IPO. So that'll be, um, the next of several Fintech IPOs we've seen. You had Circle, um, Chime, eToro. So certainly, uh, Fintech is an area where we're seeing more activity and given Klarna's brand recognition, um, and you know, value in the market, that's one we have our eyes on. Right now if you're going to go public, Brian, do you have to have an AI story? Do you have to be able to just sprinkle some of that AI magic on your S-1? Yeah. I would say at a minimum you have to try. And Figma, you know, that's something that played into their story as well. They had so many case studies of their large enterprise clients saving, you know, lots of time and money because of the AI tools that they've built into their products. So, I think that's a table stake for any company that is looking to go public. And that might be the best option for public market investors at the time because you have to remember a lot of these pure play AI companies are still very young in their life cycle. They're less likely to be going public in the next few years. So yes, that's bringing more investors into the private markets to invest. Uh but to kind of capitalize on that interest, public companies or contenders to go public will also need to have that as part of their story. Do you think there there are certain kinds of private companies, Brian, that would be more likely to receive a warm welcome to the public markets in in this environment against this backdrop? Sure. I mean, we've seen a few examples of what has worked. You know, I talked about a little bit about the need for growth, the need for profitability, but when we look at the companies that may be coming next or even the IPOs we've seen in the first half of the year, it hasn't been just one sector or one industry. You've seen Fintech, um, you've seen crypto, which is obviously growing a lot and given, you know, the regulatory tailwinds, uh, we expect that to continue to be a hot market. Um, but then, you know, Netskope, another name on our outlook, that's a cybersecurity company. Um, StubHub, another one. That's an e-commerce player. So, it's definitely not a, you know, one sector narrative that's driving the market. It's more are you growing? Are you profitable? Do you have the brand name? Um, and do you have a a story that's exciting to investors, uh, especially, uh, given the lack of public companies relative to private companies now.

Why Bloom Energy Plunged Today Before Recovering

Key Points Bloom's energy server technology is a great fit for AI data centers. Last night's earnings report was strong, with Bloom beating revenue expectations. However, the stock had already rallied on a big announcement with Oracle last week, leading to profit taking following earnings. 10 stocks we like better than Bloom Energy › Shares of on-premises electricity generator provider Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) plunged initially today, down 13% at one point, before recovering to a 1.4% decline as of 3:26 p.m. ET. Bloom reported second-quarter earnings last night, beating revenue estimates but missing the mark on the adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings-per-share (EPS) line. Of course, Bloom is a growth stock, so the top line matters more. However, since the stock had already had a massive run following recent deals with big data center and utility names, investors appeared to take profits on the less-than-absolutely perfect quarter. Management also merely "reaffirmed" 2025 guidance, without raising numbers. Bloom Energy is blooming at AI data centers In Q2, revenue climbed 19.5% to $401.2 million, beating expectations, while adjusted losses per share narrowed from $0.27 to $0.18, missing expectations of $0.08. Bloom management also said it was looking forward to doubling its production capacity, which will no doubt entail higher costs. But that capacity growth appears to be backed up by strong demand. Bloom's energy server product can produce electricity from either natural gas or hydrogen via a chemical process without combustion, thereby lowering emissions. The technology appears to be on the brink of much wider adoption, given the need for reliable, cleaner electricity at AI data centers. Last week, Bloom announced a direct partnership with Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) in which Bloom will supply on-site power to Oracle data centers within 90 days. The announcement sent the stock flying, and CEO KR Sridhar noted the partnership may pave the way for more direct deals with AI hyperscalers. On the conference call with analysts, Sridhar noted the Oracle deal is "the first time we as a company are directly interacting with the hyperscaler as our are the primary source, and it is load following. So it will prove that we can load follow at large scale." Earnings seem to be a "sell-the-news" event Bloom has exciting AI-fueled growth potential, but since the stock had already rocketed higher last week on the Oracle announcement, it appears investors were eager to take profits on the less-than-perfect quarter. However, the bounce back following today's initial plunge indicates there weren't really any red flags to speak of. Valuation would be the biggest risk here, as Bloom's stock is quite expensive. Shares trade for 5.5 times sales and 80 times this year's adjusted earnings estimates. Should you buy stock in Bloom Energy right now?

A Fed governor is resigning, opening a spot for a Trump appointee

A member of the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors announced Friday that she is resigning several months before the end of her term, handing President Donald Trump an early opportunity to fill a key vacancy. Fed Governor Adriana Kugler is stepping down from her role, effective August 8. She was appointed by former President Joe Biden in 2023 and her term was slated to end in January 2026. The Fed did not cite a reason for her departure. 'It has been an honor of a lifetime to serve on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,' Kugler said in a statement. 'I am especially honored to have served during a critical time in achieving our dual mandate of bringing down prices and keeping a strong and resilient labor market.' Trump claimed to reporters on Friday that Kugler was resigning because of the Fed's stance on interest rates. 'I understand it was over the fact that she disagreed with somebody from her party …she disagreed with 'Too Late' on the interest rate,' he said. Trump has taken to calling Fed Chair Jerome Powell 'Too Late' because the president wants Powell to cut interest rates. Fed officials have held interest rates steady so far this year. Trump did not offer any evidence to back his claim. But, he said, he was 'very happy' about having an open spot on the Fed Board. Kugler was absent from the Fed's latest meeting, in which officials voted to hold borrowing costs steady for the fifth consecutive time. Trump has bashed the Fed for months because the central bank hasn't lowered interest rates this year, and Kugler's resignation means he will soon be able to install a new voice at a time when policymakers are unusually divided. And whoever Trump picks will then be eligible to be the next Fed chair, if they're confirmed by the Senate to serve on the Fed's board. According to Fed rules, the chair can be chosen only among the current members of the Fed's board. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said the administration is already actively searching for Powell's successor. Contenders for the top job at the central bank include Bessent himself; Kevin Warsh, a former Fed governor; Christopher Waller, a current Fed governor; and Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House's National Economic Council. But even when Powell's term as chair ends next year, he could still stay on the board, meaning Trump's choices for Fed chair will be limited to the current members of the board. Fed chairs technically have three jobs: member of the Fed's Board, chair of the Board of Governors and chair of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The FOMC is the Fed group that sets interest rates, and the chair is voted into their position by committee members. It's legally unclear if Trump has the power to demote Powell and elevate another governor as chair. Powell's term as a Fed governor ends in 2028. In a news conference Wednesday after the Fed announced its latest decision, Powell refused to say if he intends to remain on the board after his term as chair ends.
