This unusual style of construction has been gaining popularity over the past few years. Still, despite its advantages, upfront costs and limited factory size could make more widespread adoption slow.

First the old TWA Terminal at JFK and now the Chrysler Building? Is it just us, or is everything being converted into a hotel these days? And is that necessarily a bad thing?

President Trump promised voters an overhaul of the country's infrastructure and so far he hasn't delivered. The northeast corridor rail tunnel is perhaps the greatest infrastructure test the president will have to put money where his mouth is.

The way in which this new law was written leaves little wiggle room for Airbnb to use the Communications Decency Act as a defense. This can go one of two ways: Airbnb and New York City duke it out in court or, eventually, Airbnb may have to set up a registration system for hosts as it has in San Francisco, New Orleans, and Chicago.

For those wondering what will likely happen in New York, we need only look at the examples of San Francisco, New Orleans, and Chicago.
