In this holiday episode, Monica and Franklyn sit down for a wide-ranging conversation on real estate, architecture, travel, and the rhythms of New York City at year’s end.
They reflect on the recent passing of architectural icons Robert A.M. Stern and Frank Gehry, exploring how their work shaped the New York skyline and redefined luxury living. From timeless prewar-inspired towers to bold, expressive modern forms, the conversation looks at how design influences not just buildings—but cities, culture, and value.
The episode also touches on current market momentum in New York real estate, holiday travel traditions from St. Barts to Aspen, and why New York during the holidays remains unmatched, no matter how crowded it gets.
A thoughtful, lifestyle-driven close to the year—blending real estate insight with culture, memory, and perspective.
