“Downtown is hot,” says Daren Hornig, managing partner of Shea Commercial in New York and the developer behind The Prime. “Whether it’s the Meatpacking or the Financial District, downtown attracts the best restaurants, clubs and residences. It’s the city’s ‘it’ neighborhood—chic, fun and hip on all fronts.”
