Curbedis an Americanreal estateandurban designwebsite published byNew Yorkmagazine. Founded as a blog byLockhart Steelein 2006 to cover New York City real estate,[1][2]it grew by 2010 to feature sub-pages dedicated to specific real estate markets and metropolitan areas across the United States. Steele once describedCurbed.comas an "Architectural Digestafter a three-martini lunch.” The site hosted an annual contest, the Curbed Cup, to pick the best neighborhood in each city.[3]
In November 2013,Vox Mediapurchased the Curbed Network, which, apart fromCurbed,also included dining websiteEaterand fashion websiteRacked.The New York Timesreported that the cash-and-stock deal was worth between $20 million and $30 million. In 2018, the Curbed criticAlexandra Langewon a New York Press Club award for her story “No Loitering, No Skateboarding, No Baggy Pants.”[4]
While Curbed had expanded to include area-specific editions forAtlanta,Austin,Boston,Chicago,Detroit,Los Angeles,New Orleans,New York City,Philadelphia,San Francisco,Seattle,andWashington, D.C,[5]in 2020, as a part of a downward trend of layoffs and restructuring of many venture capital-funded sites, and the effects of theCOVID-19 pandemic,many of Curbed's area-specific sites closed, leavingNew York Cityas the site’s sole remaining metropolitan focus.
In October 2020,Curbedwas integrated intoNew Yorkmagazine’s suite of digital publications,[6]where it was redesigned and focused more tightly on New York City’s built environment, design, architecture, real estate, and urbanism. Its prominent contributors includeNew York’sPulitzer Prize–winning architecture and music criticJustin Davidsonand the magazine’s acclaimed design writer Wendy Goodman.
