How Aby Rosen Lost the Chrysler Building
Briefly

Aby Rosen views the Chrysler Building as a 'Sleeping Beauty' needing revitalization. His vision aligns with transforming iconic spaces into vibrant destinations through art and culinary experiences.
Purchasing the Chrysler for $151 million seemed astounding, particularly given that a decade prior, an investment council had acquired a 90% stake for $800 million, highlighting Rosen's astute real estate pursuits.
Rosen's approach involves not just renovation but an infusion of culture, partnering with celebrity chefs and artists, which he sees as integral to breathing new life into historic properties.
The building's unique aesthetic, from its steel gargoyles to the Moroccan marble lobby, encapsulates a certain grandeur that matches Rosen's flamboyant style and ambition in real estate.
