In 1994, Parkview's Reisner and Weiderpass opened the first Watch World retail store on Bleecker Street in Manhattan's West Village.  Within three years, operating solely from personal funds, they had opened an additional 8 stores in the New York City area.  For each location, they negotiated favorable lease terms and performed the design and buildout of the space.

After establishing a base of operations in New York City, Reisner and Weiderpass sourced additional funding from DLJ Travelers for a nationwide expansion that began in 1997.  In just three years, an additional 110 locations were opened around the country, showing Parkview's ability to negotiate and build over a wide geographic area.

In 2000, Reisner and Weiderpass sold Watch World to then-NASDAQ-listed Sunglass Hut for $20 million.  The Watch World cashout provided capital for Parkview's plans to build a new residential tower - Parkview Tower - overlooking Central Park on the site of the old Carnegie Hotel.  

In 2015, Parkview's Reisner noticed the space that formerly housed a Bally's Gym in Midtown Manhattan's Worldwide Plaza had been vacant for a few years.  At the same time, gym impresario David Barton was looking for a home for his next boutique fitness concept.  

Connecting the dots, Reisner put the parties together, negotiated a lease, and invested in the new business.  Parkview arranged a gut renovation of the dilapidated three-floor space in just six months, in time for a March 2016 grand opening. 

TMPL amenities include a 25-meter saltwater pool with dedicated aqua classes, 20 tons of free weights, digitally programmed equipment, virtual reality cycle studio with immersive 30-foot video wall, steam room and sauna. 

Reisner's foresight and ability to get things done paid off.  Just two years after launch, the TMPL concept was acquired by NASDAQ-listed Town Sports International, who plan to expand the concept nationwide.
