As autumn settles in, I’m delighted to share this October issue of Novo Magazine, where we spotlight the season’s energy across New York, the Hamptons, Miami, and beyond. Inside, you’ll discover striking new listings — from SoHo elegance at 565 Broome to the vibrant lifestyle of Williamsburg — as well as international developments shaping markets from Dublin to Vietnam. We’ve also curated highlights in food, arts, fashion, and entertainment, including the return of Tom Hanks to the New York stage and can’t-miss cultural events throughout the city. This issue reflects what we love most: the blend of real estate, lifestyle, and community that defines how we live today and dream about tomorrow.

MARKET UPDATE
Vietnam's Real Estate Market: Deal Activity
Keeps the Momentum Alive
Vietnam’s property market is moving with unmistakable confidence Deal activity remains steady across the spectrum from sleek new office towers and modern industrial hubs to retail concepts and high-end residences affirming the country’s place as one of Asia’s most compelling investment frontiers In a global climate of hesitation, Vietnam’s momentum feels both rare and remarkable Hanoi, in particular, is preparing for an infusion of nearly 80,000 square meters of new office space, a wave of supply that will reshape the city’s skyline and redefine its commercial core For discerning tenants, this signals opportunity state-of-the-art workspaces with room to negotiate For landlords and developers, it’s a moment that demands agility, with pricing and positioning becoming just as important as design and location.
Yet what sets Vietnam apart is not just volume, but vision Investors are looking past short-term challenges from construction costs to regulatory shifts and focusing instead on long-term growth In doing so, they are aligning with the country’s evolution: a real estate landscape that balances resilience with aspiration, and one that continues to attract those with an eye for enduring value
MANHATTAN MOMENTUM:
NEW YORK REAL ESTATE FINDS ITS NEXT CHAPTER
New York City has never been shy about reinvention, and the latest real estate numbers prove the city’s market is writing a fresh chapter. Median asking prices are holding at just over $1 1 million, while closed sales tick upward a reminder that prime addresses still command attention even in a high-rate environment On the rental side, average monthly rents near $4,000 show no signs of softening, underscoring the enduring allure of Manhattan and Brooklyn living.
Commercial real estate is equally dynamic Trophy offices the glassy, amenity-driven towers that define the skyline are enjoying renewed demand, while older buildings face the reality of adaptive reuse Office-toresidential conversions at landmarks like 5 Times Square and 25 Water Street signal a new era: the transformation of underutilized corporate space into thousands of apartments It’s a pivot that aligns with shifting work habits and the city’s unyielding appetite for residential supply.
Policy is also shaping the market’s trajectory The approval of the Midtown South rezoning unlocks nearly 9,500 new homes, while New York is on pace to deliver more than 50,000 units this year — the highest total since 1965. For buyers, renters, and investors alike, the message is clear: New York is doubling down on growth, rebalancing its mix of luxury, livability, and innovation The result is a city that continues to captivate not in spite of its challenges, but because of its ability to transform them into opportunity
