27 Style Pieces Amazon Customers Love May 2025

Amazon has a list of products called "Movers and Shakers," which is pretty much just fancy talk for things that are currently ~trending~. Here are some of the most stylish and loved pieces of clothing and accessories on the list recently:
A pair of boho-style shorts since they're lighter and more breathable than jean shorts, which is gonna be soooo nice on super hot, humid, and downright sticky summer days.
Promising review: "LOOOOve these shorts. Only worn a few times, so hopefully they hold up to regular wear. They are really nice thickness (not denim thick but thicker than linen). They are pretty heavily dyed, so definitely wash separately. As others said, SIZE UP for a great fit. The drawstring is really nice. Deep front pockets! I'll definitely order more!" —benPrice: $24.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 44 colors)
A clear crossbody bag to bring to music festivals, concert venues, sports arenas, amusement parks, and any other events that require a bag check (or only allow see-through bags). With this on your shoulder, you can waltz right through the security checkpoint. Not to mention, you won't have to waste five minutes digging around for your ChapStick right before your favorite song.
Promising review: "This clear bag is just the perfect size to fit your basic essentials for a concert, ballgame, school, or other event. It has a large zippered compartment AND a small zippered compartment. It's well constructed and can be worn cross-body or over the shoulder. The strap is fully adjustable, wide for comfort, comes in a variety of colors, and can be removed if you want. And the price was just right!" —Jerry PizzaPrice: $13.99+ (available in three sizes and 25 colors)
A cap sleeve sweater-shirt since it's an obvious choice for kinda-chilly-kinda-warm spring days... but also won't disappoint come summer as you move between the frigid AC and toasty outdoors.
Promising reviews: "A must buy!! Seriously, it has become my favorite shirt! Fits true to size! A great basic top that is easy to dress up or make casual depending on what accessories you use." —BrittanyPrice: $8.97+ (available in sizes S–XL and 18 colors)
A simple tank dress for something cute, casual, and comfy. Reviewers love the somewhat loose and flowy fit (some even wear it as a beach cover-up), and all the beautiful prints it comes in!
Promising review: "Omg I'm in love. This dress fits to a T. And it's so cute. Can't wait to wear it, and it's so comfy. Ya'll knocked this one out of the ballpark. I will definitely buy more." —M&M s MomPrice: $22.09+ (available in sizes S–3X and 25 colors and prints)
A pleated tennis skirt, which is basically the flirtier, cuter cousin of bike shorts. Same comfort and practical functionality, only this style is way more adorable. 🥰
Promising review: "Super cute!! I received MANY compliments on it!! It was super cute and comfy. The shorts didn't ride up, which is a major plus. It accentuated my legs, which is a plus 💜💜!! I plan on purchasing in other colors!! So glad I purchased!!" —DionndraPrice: $14.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 22 colors)
A ribbed racerback tank because it's a stylish wardrobe staple that you'll wear a LOT in the coming months. It's a fabulous layering cami but also looks quite stunning all by itself, thanks to the plunging V-neck.
Promising reviews: "I got this in the mail today and promptly turned around and ordered two more. Wow! Cute style with the V-neck and T-back. It has a nice stretch that offers medium support. I'll be wearing these all next summer and for now under jackets and even to sleep in. Just buy it! Great quality for the price! True to size." —KAinLAPrice: $14.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 24 colors)
A wide-leg pant that's stretchy like yoga pants but drapes more like an elegant dress pant, all while being light and airy. Good thing it comes in a ton of fun colors and prints, because you're gonna want more than just one pair.
Promising reviews: "These pants don't disappoint! Others said to order a size down, but I went with the size chart, and they're perfect. Extremely comfortable. Ordered two pairs to start. Then went back and ordered three more! These were listed on Facebook as Cher's favorite. I can see why!" —Brenda"Love these! Material is really soft, and feels 'satiny.' Size runs true to my normal size. Length on these brushes the top of my foot, and they are PERFECT! These are very cute, and will be really cool for summer heat!" —WheelersPrice: $23.99 (available in sizes S–3X and lots of colors and prints)
A chic cocktail dress if you're in need of a reliable Little Black Dress...or Little Red Dress, Little Blue Dress, Little Green Dress...you get where I'm going with this. Point is, this lovely piece is a versatile staple in any color (and it comes in 12).
Promising review: "I really like this dress. The material is soft and stretchy, which results in a comfortable dress to wear. The back zipper gives it a more elegant look. The dress is versatile, as you can dress it up or down depending on the accessories you wear. I liked it so much that I also ordered a red one. The fit is true to size. I'm happy with my purchase." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $16.19+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 12 colors)
A pair of quick-dry hiking shorts featuring a trendy cargo-inspired style and roomy pockets to match! Whether you're out on the trails, gardening, or running errands, these have you covered for pretty much all your summer activities.
Promising review: "The material is light, smooth, and breathable, and they are true to size. The cargo pockets are very roomy — I could fit my 16-ounce plastic water bottle in them. Very comfy and stretch nicely. I love the sea green color I got! I bought these for the amusement park and they will work great!" —StephaniePrice: $22.90+ (available in sizes S–3X and 17 colors)
A spaghetti strap shorts romper so you can feel like you're lounging about in comfy pajamas all day long, even though you'll look very boho-cute.
Promising review: "I'm just going to say that I absolutely love these rompers! They are well-priced, well-made, and arrived quickly! The size I would say would be a true fit in terms of how you want to wear them. I personally like my rompers to be a little bit bigger, loose, and baggy, and the size I bought was perfect for that. Ended up loving them so much that I bought one more in each shade, leaving my closet with six of these rompers now. They're, in my opinion, just the coziest thing to wear during the spring and summer when the days are nice. Being out and about or just in the coziness of your own home, you don't have to worry about being uncomfortable or itchy in these. After my mom saw them, she decided to purchase some and has been loving them as well. Overall, if you are looking for a casual and cozy outfit, look no further because they will make you so happy annnnd they have pockets." —ShaunaPrice: $17.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 30 colors and styles)
A soft and satin-y workout tank to keep you cool and stylish as you crush your fitness goals. It's made from a lightweight, quick-dry fabric and hangs beautifully, thanks to the back crossover pleat design.
Promising review: "I love these. I've literally been wearing the one I have and washing it every week to wear to my physical therapy sessions because I just have to have that exact tank. They are very soft, retain their shape, and your bra doesn't show. Also, they hang well on your body. I would highly recommend for price point as well as quality." —Darin matthewsPrice: $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 23 colors)
A pair of chiffon sarong wraps that you can tie around your waist to ~zhuzh~ up your bikini *or* drape over your shoulders for some light sun protection.
Promising review: "These are super cute and the length is perfect, and you can make them longer or shorter without looking tacky. You can also use it to cover shoulders/arms from the sun as well." —KristinaPrice: $7.92 for a two-pack (available in one size fits most and 32 color sets)
A pair of loose 'n' flowy capris for when you don't want to wear shorts but also don't feel like committing to full-length pants for the entire day. These are the perfect compromise with an easy-breezy summer aesthetic to boot!
Promising review: "So comfortable and cute. Fabric is stretchy enough to be comfortable but not so much it clings like a T-shirt. Had great pockets and the elastic waistband is perfect. Fits true to size." —Mikel BuffaloePrice: $21.59+ (available in size M–4X and 33 colors and prints)
A vibrant printed maxi skirt if you want to make a bright and bold statement as you strut along the ocean boardwalk. Be prepared for staring and compliments.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this skirt! It looks like a designer brand skirt and is so affordable. It instantly dresses up any top, and I got tons of compliments on it. The pockets are a huge bonus!" —Katie TackettPrice: $22.48+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 32 colors and prints)
A square-neck cami so you can bring some Y2K energy to your spring and summer 'fits. Reviewers *love* the buttery soft, double-layered fabric, saying it feels like the high-end, expensive brands.
Promising review: "I don't usually leave reviews, but no joke, the best fitting and most comfortable tank top I've ever owned!! The material smooths and snatches you in so well, and as a girl who can never go braless, I was able to do that in this top. Literally just ordered it in three more colors." —jaden charneyPrice: $19.16+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and 27 colors)
A matching vest and shorts set for an effortless outfit that screams ~high fashion.~ I am simply obsessed (and yes, I added this to my cart before I even finished writing this sentence).
Promising review: "Very cute, easy breezy, lightweight, comfortable, stylish summer outfit. I was pleasantly surprised. I will buy several more in different colors. Not too tight, not too loose. Comfortable. The set is also lightly lined." —Ms. BrownPrice: $31.34+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 25 colors)
A pair of Levi's Original 501 shorts because they're an iconic warm weather staple for good reason: comfy, stylish, and endlessly versatile.
Promising review: "I recently picked up a pair of Levi's 501 shorts, and I couldn't be happier with them! These shorts offer the perfect combination of classic style and modern comfort. The fit is just right — loose enough to be comfortable. The denim is durable and feels high-quality, and I love the timeless 501 cut that works for a variety of occasions. The shorts are breathable and perfect for warmer weather, and I appreciate that they maintain their shape and color even after several washes. The only downside is that the fit may not work for everyone, as the waist can be a bit snug for those with wider hips, but overall, I'm really impressed with these shorts. They're versatile, stylish, and well-made — definitely a wardrobe staple! Highly recommend!" —Ellie StuartPrice: $19.97+ (available in sizes 16–39 and 40 washes)
A leather slide sandal that'll casually elevate your summer 'fits without sacrificing comfort. One reviewer said they held up for 10 days galavanting around Europe, performing as well as their "ugly but practical sneakers."
Promising review: "I have a problem finding shoes that are wide and comfortable. The reviews are true; they are comfortable. The strap is giving and not stiff. I am on my feet all day at work, and I need a comfortable sandal for the summer. The shoe is well-made. I bought four pairs. I am so glad I found these sandals. Buy it!" —Cheri EspinozaPrice: $26.99+ (available in sizes 5.5-11 and seven colors)
A pair of smocked wide-leg pants if you're going for a flowy, feel-like-pajamas-without-looking-like-pajamas bohemian vibe this summer.
Promising review: "The comfiest pants I own. Thin but soft and stretchy. Not see-through. Makes my butt look great. Perfect for the summer. Washed well and feels great." —Meghan CoughlinPrice: $24.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 15 colors)
A double-lined tube top since it's sleek, buttery-soft, and won't slip down. In fact, it might remind you of something very similar from Aritzia. 👀
Promising review: "Obsessed with this tube top! I'm a double D with a small waist, and it's so hard to find stuff that fits both my waist and my bust size, but this top fits perfectly! The material is so soft, and the inside has a little strip above the bust line, so it doesn't roll down or come down and sticks to your skin. It can be dressed up or dressed down. I'm ready to buy this in more colors!" —Mom to bbPrice: $23.95+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and 21 colors)
A darling smocked sundress you can wear with sneakers for a stroll through the farmers' market during the day, and then switch to fancy sandals for a cute lil' date night 'fit.
Promising review: "Nice dress to dress up or down! It is soft and long enough for me as a tall girl. It is a little stretchy, isn't see-through, and is a nice quality fabric. Thick enough to be good quality, but not too heavy for summer. It came with a few wrinkles, but they quickly steamed out. I'm considering getting a few in different colors, for the value." —C.J.Price: $37.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 24 colors)
A flowy high-neck tank to layer over leggings, skinny jeans, or shorts for an easy, but elevated, look.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE the fit and quality of this top, and the colors are so vibrant. It looks and feels like it cost a lot more than it did, and can easily transition between business and casual wear. I am now going to have to check out other colors offered." —SantanaPrice: $6.48 (available in sizes S–3X and 25 colors and prints)
A buttery-soft pair of high-waisted biker shorts because the weather's getting warmer, but your love for comfy athleisure isn't going anywhere. These are basically the summertime equivalent of your fave leggings — and for less than $10, why not grab a few pairs!
Promising reviews: "These shorts slap. They're the perfect length, texture, and fit. Consider sizing up if you'd like some extra length on the leg. 10/10." —Bippy"Buying clothes online is always a little scary for me, but I really needed shorts to wear to the gym, and these were a great price, so I decided to give them a chance. These are amazing! They are thin, soft, the perfect length, look great, and work perfectly during my workout! They do not move around or need adjusting at all. Love the colors. Highly recommend!" —Jeanna ReadPrice: $7.99+ (available in sizes S–3X, 26 colors, including ones with pockets, and in multipacks)
A spaghetti strap jumpsuit so you can rock the slouchy-chic look all summer long and perhaps pretend you're just a simple farmer who lives off the land.
Promising reviews: "The perfect jumpsuit. So soft and cozy. This is super lightweight and comfortable. The length is a bit on the short side for me, hitting above my ankle. Perfect to wear anytime of year. The color options are great, and the jumper washes well. I've spilled oil and have gotten stains on them multiple times, and they have cleaned up well and have stayed in pretty decent shape." —Robin Rohwedder"These overalls are 100% my favorite maternity clothing purchase! They're lightweight (but well-made), roomy, comfortable, and cute. I've been living in them during my third trimester and have ordered in three colors so far. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for comfy fits during pregnancy or postpartum!!" —Caroline FleckPrice: $24.64+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 21 colors)
A seamless underwire-free bra just in case you're looking for support and coverage *without* any poking, discomfort, or chafing...and honestly, aren't we all?
Promising review: "I recently tried this seamless bra, and it's hands-down one of the most comfortable pieces of lingerie I've ever worn. The fabric is incredibly soft and smooth, which makes it feel almost like a second skin. One of the standout features is how it doesn't leave any marks on my back — no annoying lines or bulges, just a sleek, seamless look. Despite being lightweight, it still provides amazing support and coverage, lifting in all the right places without being restrictive. It's perfect for everyday wear, whether I'm at work or running errands. If you're looking for a bra that combines comfort, support, and a smooth fit, this one is definitely worth a try! I already have two more. ;)" —Janisse RiveraPrice: $22.94+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 12 colors)
A pair of high-waisted athletic shorts that reviewers absolutely love for lounging, hiking, running, and everything in between. A lot of folks say they're just as good as Lululemon shorts, only wayyy cheaper.
Promising reviews: "These shorts completely exceeded my expectations! The color is vibrant and so pretty — exactly like the photos. The fit and feel are incredible; they seriously feel just like Lululemon shorts but for a fraction of the price. Super comfortable and perfect for workouts or lounging. I've already recommended them to a few friends and will definitely be buying more!" —KoolKats"These shorts are identical to Lululemon shorts at a much lower price. They fit true to size. They wick sweat. I wear them to work in the yard regularly and just around the house because they are so comfortable. The only difference between these and the Lulu shorts is the small logo on the back. I love them so much that I have them in at least four colors. My daughter is a Lulu snob and asked me, 'When did you get those Lulu shorts?' Will order again in other colors. They are not see-through, they are great for working out, and the zipper on the back is of great quality." —T.CarsonPrice: $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 26 colors)
A ruffly tiered mini skirt for when you're feeling flirtatious but also practical — because this has sneaky built-in shorts underneath so you can move about confidently and chafe-free.
Promising review: "Love this! True to size! So comfortable! Love the shorts underneath, perfect! Definitely wanting another one! Fabric is thick enough so that it's not see-through! Very cute!" —ChristinePrice: $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 18 colors)

Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray: A Deep Dive into the Home Release of Toho's Masterpiece

Introduction 'Godzilla Minus One,' Toho's 2023 cinematic masterpiece, has become a cornerstone in the kaiju genre and a global sensation. Directed by Takashi Yamazaki, this film not only revitalized the Godzilla franchise but also reintroduced the King of the Monsters in a darker, more emotionally resonant narrative. With the release of the Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray , fans now have the chance to experience this landmark film in stunning high definition from the comfort of their homes. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray release, exploring its features, historical context, technical details, collector's value, and why it's a must-have for kaiju enthusiasts and cinephiles alike. 1. Overview of 'Godzilla Minus One' 'Godzilla Minus One' is set in post-war Japan, taking place shortly after World War II. The country is devastated, both emotionally and economically, and then comes another catastrophe—Godzilla. Unlike the heroic or morally ambiguous portrayals in some modern iterations, this version of Godzilla is a terrifying force of nature, echoing the creature's original 1954 incarnation. The film's critical success stems from its humanistic storytelling, character development, political themes, and special effects. It blends emotional depth with sheer cinematic spectacle—qualities that translate remarkably well to the Blu-ray format. 2. Blu-ray Release Date and Availability The Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray was officially released in Japan on May 1, 2024, with English subtitles included, delighting international fans. In the U.S., the physical Blu-ray arrived in stores and online platforms like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart in early June 2024. Both standard and limited collector's editions are available, with some special retailer-exclusive bonuses. Editions Available: ● Standard Blu-ray: 1080p video with DTS-HD audio, Japanese and English subtitles. ● Collector's Edition: Includes 4K Ultra HD disc, bonus features disc, art cards, steelbook packaging. ● Digital Edition: Offered via platforms like Apple TV and Vudu. 3. Technical Specifications The technical quality of the Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray is nothing short of superb. The transfer captures every detail from the cinematic release, and in some cases, the home experience even enhances appreciation for the VFX and sound design. Video Quality: ● Resolution: 1920×1080 (Blu-ray), 3840×2160 (4K UHD) ● Aspect Ratio: 2.39:1 ● HDR10 and Dolby Vision support (4K UHD) Audio: ● Japanese: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 ● English: Dolby Digital 5.1 (subtitled) ● Immersive surround sound perfectly captures monster roars and destruction sequences The colors are crisp, contrast is excellent, and dark scenes are handled with finesse—a critical element for a film that often relies on shadows and atmosphere. 4. Bonus Features Breakdown One of the major draws of the Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray is the treasure trove of special features included, especially in the deluxe editions. These features offer insight into the making of the film and the vision behind the monster. Key Bonus Features: ● Director's Commentary: Takashi Yamazaki shares his thoughts on creative choices, VFX challenges, and thematic inspirations. ● Behind-the-Scenes Documentary: A 45-minute deep dive into the film's production, including special effects, miniatures, and on-set interviews. ● Monster Design Evolution: A segment exploring the evolution of Godzilla's design and how it pays tribute to the original 1954 creature. ● Deleted Scenes and Alternate Takes ● Storyboard Comparisons ● Cast Interviews Fans and aspiring filmmakers alike will find immense value in these extras. 5. Packaging and Physical Design Aesthetics matter to collectors, and Toho has gone all out with the Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray . The steelbook editions are embossed with Godzilla's monstrous silhouette, rendered in black-and-white to echo the original film's tone. Inside, fans will find: ● An exclusive fold-out poster ● Character cards featuring the main cast ● A booklet of behind-the-scenes concept art For kaiju collectors, this packaging makes the Blu-ray more than just a movie—it's a display-worthy centerpiece. 6. Why It Stands Out Among Godzilla Films The Godzilla franchise spans over 35 films, but Godzilla Minus One stands out due to its: ● Human-centric narrative: The film centers around Koichi Shikishima, a kamikaze pilot struggling with guilt, providing emotional weight rarely seen in monster movies. ● Realistic setting: Post-WWII Japan is shown with haunting authenticity. ● Return to horror roots: Godzilla is terrifying, ruthless, and symbolic. ● Modern yet practical VFX: A mix of CGI and practical effects creates visceral realism. All of this is perfectly preserved in the Blu-ray release, which has become a new benchmark for kaiju home video formats. 7. Critical Reception and Awards Upon its initial release, 'Godzilla Minus One' received widespread acclaim and was even nominated for—and won—an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. The Blu-ray release capitalizes on that acclaim by delivering a pristine home viewing experience. Rotten Tomatoes Score: 98% IMDB Rating: 8.5/10 Metacritic: 84/100 Reviewers universally praised the Blu-ray's audio-visual fidelity and its thoughtful bonus content. 8. Audience Reactions Fans have lauded the Blu-ray on forums and social media, especially for: ● Its emotional storytelling ● Authentic Japanese audio with clear English subtitles ● The incredible visual clarity of Godzilla's destruction scenes ● The deeply immersive surround sound experience Quoting a Reddit user from r/GODZILLA: 'The Blu-ray made me cry all over again. That hospital scene in HD? Devastating. I'm so glad I bought the steelbook.' 9. Comparison to Other Godzilla Blu-rays The Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray stands above other entries in the franchise's home releases. Compared to the 2016's 'Shin Godzilla' or the Legendary Pictures' MonsterVerse films like 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters,' this version offers: ● A more grounded, personal story ● Better preservation of Japanese cinematic aesthetics ● Less reliance on over-the-top CGI ● A more extensive collection of bonus content 10. A Must-Have for Collectors For collectors, the Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray is essential. Whether you're a casual fan, a die-hard kaiju aficionado, or a film historian, this release brings value: ● Display-worthy design ● Rare insights into Toho Studios' production ● Award-winning film preservation ● Limited edition variants that will likely increase in value Many fans are already seeing price hikes on secondary markets for exclusive editions, especially those bundled with theatrical merchandise. 11. Future of Godzilla on Blu-ray With the success of 'Godzilla Minus One,' fans can expect more premium home releases from Toho. There's already buzz around: ● A potential director's cut ● A Godzilla retrospective collection featuring all eras (Showa, Heisei, Millennium, Reiwa) ● Expanded Godzilla Minus One universe material like documentaries or spin-offs Streaming may dominate modern media consumption, but Blu-ray remains the gold standard for collectors and purists. Conclusion The Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray is more than just a home release—it's a cinematic event reborn in high definition. With its technical excellence, rich bonus content, and emotional storytelling, it captures everything that made the original theatrical release so memorable. For fans of monster movies, Japanese cinema, or just high-quality physical media, this Blu-ray is a must-own. Whether you're revisiting the destruction of Ginza or experiencing Koichi's journey for the first time, this release ensures that the legacy of 'Godzilla Minus One' will echo for generations.

Life Time athletic club opening at 452 Fifth Ave.

The owners of 425 Fifth Avenue, aka 10 Bryant Park between East 39th and 40th streets, landed another big catch at their tower where Amazon recently signed for 330,000 square feet — and it all started with a game of pickleball. In one of Manhattan's largest retail-space deals this year, burgeoning 'athletic urban country club' Life Time signed for 52,000 square feet on four levels, including in the soon to be vacated, 17,000 square-foot Staples store. It will open in early 2027 behind a prominent Fifth Avenue entrance. The Life Time deal all but completes the leasing picture at the 865,000 address, which consists of three formerly separate structures that include the 10-story Knox Building. Advertisement 4 425 Fifth Avenue, aka 10 Bryant Park between East 39th and 40th streets, center. Google Maps Life Time has 180 clubs in the US and Canada. Chief property development officer Parham Javaheri said 10 Bryant Park checked all the boxes for what he wanted in Midtown. 'We want to serve both our residential and commercial cores,' he said. 'Although the location is obviously more commercial, there's a lot of residential growth nearby as well.' Advertisement Life Time, founded by chairman and CEO Bahram Akradi, has seven other Manhattan locations, two in Brooklyn, and another coming at the supertall Brooklyn Tower condo project. Javaheri said, 'We want to grow methodically. Meaning, we want destinations that let us stay true to what Life Time is, and they require a lot of space.' In fact, several others in the city are even larger than at 10 Bryant Park with 80,000 square feet each. The 10 Bryant Park edition will boast a luxurious, co-ed 'wet' suite with steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs and cold plunges; a workout floor with best-in-class cardio and resistance-training equipment; a recovery space with massage chairs and body-compression technology; and a half-dozen boutique-style studios for group fitness formats. 4 A rendering of the Life Time athletic club location at 10 Bryant Park, which is expected to open in early 2027. LIFE TIME Advertisement Eli Elefant, CEO of 10 Bryant Park landlord Property & Building Corp., said, 'We had the privilege or repositioning the building in a post-Covid world. It gave us the ability to reimagine what a commercial building can look like in a challenging environment.' Elefant said, 'When we lost our big bank tenant, HSBC, we got all their antiquated space back. Our thought was to lean heavily into the tech sphere and market the former bank space to big users and we were ultimately successful.' With the Amazon deal, the 30-story tower's office floors are 100% leased. What he called a 'blank slate' after HSBC decided to move to The Spiral in Hudson Yards also suggested the need to deliver what Amazon and many other 21st Century tenants want: a spectacular 'wellness' amenity. 'We didn't just want to build a gym,' Elefant chuckled. 4 Eli Elefant, center, the CEO of 10 Bryant Park owner Property & Building Corp., and Life Time chief property development officer Parham Javaheri, right, bonded over their vision during a pickleball game. LIFE TIME Advertisement Introduced by brokers, he and Javaheri first met on Oct. 17, 2023. 'We talked about a lifestyle-physical concept,' Elefant said. 'I said, 'Why don't we meet for a workout?'' Javaheri recalled, 'We played pickleball at 1 Penn and at Sky on West 42nd Street. Eli told us what his vision was for a strong amenity. We formed a good friendship.' 4 A rendering of the interior of the announced Life Time athletic club at 10 Bryant Park. LIFE TIME The competition 'was a great way for him to humiliate me,' Elefant laughed. 'But I'm a firm believed in personal synergies' in a changed real estate market that needs to be 'less sharp-elbows than collaborative, although I'm not sure everyone got the message.' Atlantic Retail's Joe Mastromonaco represented Life Time and JLL's Patrick Smith acted for the ownership. Property & Building's parent company owns 14 million square feet of buildings in Israel, but 10 Bryant Park is the only one in New York it wholly owns although it has discreet investments at others.
