The company has provided three quarters of the initial financing of "Carnegie 57" at 157 W. 57th St. Analysts say it is the first major property development to come after the global financial crisis put hundreds of projects in the Big Apple on hold.

In true Abu Dhabi fashion, the building is designed by a "starchitect" Christian de Portzamparc and will cater to the high end. See the story here.
