New York City is an ever-evolving battlefield for some of the world's most ambitious people. In this video, I explore the key deals, acquisitions, and companies that have shaped-and continue to shape-the city's landscape. We dive into the high-stakes battles involving Tishman Speyer, Steve Ross, Donald Trump, Terra Holdings and how their iconic projects have transformed Manhattan into a global symbol of luxury and power.

- ABOUT PROBABLY SOMETHING -
Hey, I'm Kunal. I'm a Swedish founder in NYC and ex-investment banker. You can think of this as my personal business blog, but in video format.
I create videos about finance, business strategy, M&A and mental models to help me better understand our complex business world. Through my work, I've mostly covered holding companies, tech, media, healthcare and sports so those are naturally the topics I gravitate towards.
My goal is to constantly challenge myself to become a better business operator, investor and thinker by studying world class founders, financiers and capital allocators. I hope this channel will help you do the same.
Just sharing what I'm learning along the way and documenting my journey - nothing on here should be considered financial advice.

when I started to watch this video, I thought it was done by some "proffesional" yt channel since your video on that level. so keep working you are doing great

@Eugene_Liu304 Ай бұрын

One growth stategy is for you to talk about financial structure of celebrities: ex: kardashians, Kanye, One chinese channel called 巫师财经 was very successful with this strategy. Use as simple vocabolary as possible.. this brings in attention, and use your old nutritious content keeps those audiencesto stay long term. just my 2 cents.

@yashmaniar2942 Ай бұрын

@@probsomethingit’s probably a good idea for some growth, however, I really like and appreciate the higher end and quality content that you’re putting in which it seems no other content creator is doing. You dive into more niche subjects and use some technical language, and I think this is a great idea for building a more loyal fan base. Keep up the great work!

What the f? Why would you give tips to this guy to increase his channel’s success? He’s another copy paste channel who does nothing. This is so sad.

I went to college right across the street from the trump hotel in columbus circle (new york institute of technology), when i was a student there (about 3 years ago), the president of the school (Hank Foley) held a meeting in the auditorium (1871 Broadway). He talked about the future of the school and at the end mentioned that our MAIN campus (1855 Broadway) was in the process of being sold for I believe was over 80 million dollars.... he did not say who gave the offer.... I wonder if it was one of the men who were mentioned at the start of this video....

great production and story telling, correct me if I'm wrong but I think the informations about air rights is not accurate, I believe developers are required to purchase neighbouring air rights so they can "stack" them on their site to build higher.

basically nothing separates your content from the more successful video so you'll def become successful, also how long does it take you to make a video like this?

@probsomething Ай бұрын

Appreciate it! This one took around 2 months with research, writing, recording and editing. I don’t do this full-time though so others could probably do it faster

@RenGalafuze Ай бұрын

Hello. You keep pronouncing NYC mayor Ed Koch’s name incorrectly. The “ch” in Koch is pronounced as the “ch” in Charles. Or, the “ch” in chain. The “ko” has the sound as in the word “cot.” So, NOT coke.

@SpirithunterBOMB 2 күн бұрын

the proper way of pronouncing Koch rhymes with Loch. yiddish and german pronounciation is the most accurate one here

NYers love it here. Most of the complaining about it comes from people who expect the city to support suburban living - lots of driving, less people, noise, mess, homeless. But for its pros and cons those who are sticking around do so bc they love its vibe and what it represents
