Postscript: My opposition was strong, as was the industry’s, and the Governor thankfully shelved the ill-conceived annual pied-a-terre levy, proposing instead a one-time transfer tax whose details have yet to be announced.
Coming Soon
We’re prepping now for an exceptional classic home. Originally seven rooms and now five, this very elegant, renovated two-bedroom residence features a semi-private elevator landing, double Living Room overlooking Park Avenue, corner MBR, eat-in-kitchen plus pantry, full laundry room, and two ensuite bathrooms plus powder room. Enviably situated on the Avenue’s sweet spot in the 70’s, this highly regarded white-glove prewar dates from 1912. Pets and pieds-a-terre are permitted. Get ready.

In Good Company
Meet Matthew Kraus, President of Skyline Windows, a company founded by his great grandfather Sam Kraus in 1921. Known then as S. Kraus Inc., the business was primarily involved in roofing and waterproofing. By the 1970’s the focus became window replacement. Today Skyline Windows is the go-to industry source for custom window installation and manufacturing. As leadership passes to the 4th generation, Matt is focusing on expanding outside of New York and innovating new product lines, always heeding his grandfather’s advice: “Good enough is not good enough; if you’re going to do something, make sure you excel.”
