How did the political landscape and broader economic conditions affect the real estate market during this period?

The Republican election victory seemed to calm financial markets, possibly due to expectations of reduced regulation and taxation for the wealthy. Condos' popularity is driven by modern amenities and readily available inventory across Manhattan and into Brooklyn, contrasting with the issues of renovation needed for many co-ops. The shift in preference away from traditional status addresses like Park and Fifth Avenues toward Tribeca reflects changing buyer demographics and preferences.

How has the legal dispute between UGT and Fetico affected the negotiation process, and what role have differing salary expectations played in the impasse?

A significant factor in the delay is a legal dispute between two unions, UGT and Fetico, regarding UGT's legitimacy in the negotiations. This dispute caused UGT to leave the negotiation table in January and only recently return, pending a Supreme Court ruling. The employers' initial salary proposal of €17,000 also falls short of the unions' demand of €20,000, further complicating matters.
