Kirkland is also working on the $550 million renovation of David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center, where she is coordinating the installation of new theatrical infrastructure in the building’s attic space.

By David Winzelberg
EW Howell Construction Group completed an $18 million renovation project on the palm dome of the Enid A.

The project also provided an opportunity for NYBG horticulture curators to redesign and replant the collection to highlight the history of tropical plant research at NYBG and the ecological and economic importance of the palm family.

The sweet spot is hotels with at least 100 rooms priced between $30 million and $60 million — just high enough to be out of reach for most high-net-worth buyers and just below the threshold that would interest larger institutional players.
