The Battle For New York City

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.

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....
