Gowanus Rezoning Proposal Study Area associated with development under the draft Zoning Proposal for Gowanus. DRA estimated historical and current property values for 798 parcels in the Study Area based on analysis of historical land sales by existing zoning category. DRA then used residual land value analysis applied to several residential prototypes representing proposed rezoning categories to estimate potential future land values if 387 sites in the Study Area are developed to their full potential under the Zoning Proposal. Finally, DRA used the results of the prototype analysis to estimate the potential total increase in Study Area property values if all of the properties in certain zoning designations are redeveloped under the new zoning. DRA estimated the total market value of the 387 properties in the three zoning designations considered most likely to experience redevelopment. These parcels’ estimated value developed under rezoning using a cap rate of 4.5%, considered the most representative of the current market, is $1.0B to $1.7B (35% to 75%) higher than estimated 2018 property values, and $1.7B to $2.3B (75% to 145%) higher than estimated 2013 property values. Using a higher cap rate of 5.0%, the change in property values from 2018 to the new zoning ranges from a reduction of $0.2B to an increase of $0.5B (a percentage change from -6% to 21%). Estimated property values under rezoning at the 5.0% cap rate are $0.5B to $1B (22% to 69%) higher than estimated 2013 property values. Factoring in estimated environmental remediation costs for the canal-front sites reduces the property value uplift by approximately $0.1B under each scenario. Background and Purpose of the Value Capture Study The New York City (NYC) Department of City Planning (DCP) released its draft Proposal for the rezoning of the Gowanus neighborhood in Brooklyn (“Study Area”) in June, 2018. The Proposal included DCP’s proposed rezoning boundaries, where industrial land will be converted to allow residential development, what densities DCP contemplates, and envisioned capital investments by the City. In January 2019, DCP released the draft Gowanus Zoning Proposal, part of a package of City initiatives to achieve multiple goals outlined in the Gowanus Proposal to support mixed-use growth Gowanus Rezoning Proposal October 30, 2019 Estimated Increase in Property Values Final Report 1 with affordable housing, maintain and grow Gowanus’ commercial and industrial businesses, and to activate ground floors and create new public spaces. Map 1 provides an overview of DCP’s land use framework released in June 2018.1 Map 2 shows DCPs rezoning proposal from the draft scope of work. As a member of a project team led by the Pratt Center for Community Development (Pratt Center) and that also includes Fifth Avenue Committee (FAC), David Paul Rosen & Associates (DRA) prepared a land value capture analysis of the draft Zoning Proposal. The purpose of the study is to quantify the economic value of the changes in land use and

  • Chapter 9: Neighborhood Character
    Chapter 9: Neighborhood Character A. INTRODUCTION As defined by the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, neighborhood character is considered to be a combination of the many elements that creates each neighborhood’s distinct personality. These elements include land use, urban design, visual resources, historic resources, socioeconomics, traffic, and noise, as well as the other physical or social characteristics that help to describe the community. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, an assessment of neighborhood character is generally needed when the action would exceed preliminary thresholds in any one of the following areas of technical analysis: land use, urban design and visual resources, historic resources, socioeconomic conditions, transportation, or noise. An assessment is also appropriate when the action would have moderate effects on several of the aforementioned areas. Potential effects on neighborhood character may include: • Land Use. Development resulting from a proposed action could alter neighborhood character if it introduced new land uses, conflicts with land use policy or other public plans for the area, changes land use character, or generates significant land use impacts. • Socioeconomic Conditions. Changes in socioeconomic conditions have the potential to affect neighborhood character when they result in substantial direct or indirect displacement or addition of population, employment, or businesses; or substantial differences in population or employment density. • Historic Resources. When an action would result in substantial direct changes to a historic resource or substantial changes to public views of a resource, or when a historic resource analysis identified a significant impact in this category, there is a potential to affect neighborhood character. • Urban Design and Visual Resources.

  • CITYREALTY NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT MANHATTAN NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT May 2015 Summary
    MAY 2015 MANHATTAN NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT CITYREALTY NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT MANHATTAN NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT May 2015 Summary Apartment prices in new development condominiums in Manhattan have increased at a fast clip, a trend boosted by the upper end of the market. Sales of new condominium units included in this report are expected to aggregate between $27.6 and $33.6 billion in sales through 2019. The average price of these new development units is expected to reach a record of $5.9 million per unit in 2015. At the same time, far fewer units are being built than during the last development boom, in the mid-2000s, therefore the number of closed sales is expected to increase more modestly than their prices. 2013 2014 2015-2019* TOTAL NEW DEVELOPMENT SALES $2.7B $4.1B $27.6B-$33.6B+ Pricing information for the 4,881 new development units covered in this report comes from active and in-contract listings, offering plans, and projections based on listing prices. For a complete list of buildings included in this report, see pages 5-6 (New Developments by Building Detail). Ultimately, sales of these apartments will total roughly $27.6 to $33.6 billion through 2019. Sales in new developments totaled $4.1 billion in 2014, up 50 percent from 2013. The 2013 total, $2.7 billion, also represented a significant increase from the $1.9 billion recorded in 2012. While total sales volume has increased in recent years, it is still substantially less than at the height of the market, in 2008, when new development sales totaled $10.4 billion.

  • The Cityrealty 100 Report 2020
    THE CITYREALTY 100 REPORT 2020 DECEMBER 2020 THE CityRealty is the website for NYC real estate, providing high-quality listings and tailored agent matching for pro- spective apartment buyers, as well as in-depth analysis of the New York real estate market. 1100 THE CITYREALTY 100 REPORT 2020 About The CityRealty 100 The CityRealty 100 is an index comprising the top 100 condominium buildings in Manhattan. Several factors—including a building’s sales history, prominence, and CityRealty’s rating for the property—are used to determine which buildings are included in the index. This report tracks the performance of those buildings for the one-year period ending September 30, 2020. CityRealty releases regular reports on the CityRealty 100 to track the change in prices of the top 100 Manhattan condo buildings. After falling in 2018 from all-time highs achieved in 2016 and 2017, the index’s average price / foot and total sales volumes were roughly flat in 2020 as compared to 2019, with the average price per square foot increasing 2% to $2,649. For the 12 months ending Sep 30, there were 846 sales which accounted for $4.94B in sales volume. Manhattan real estate, as viewed through the lens of this report, focuses on the city's top tier of buildings, which are seen as a relatively stable and good investment. The stagnation in prices and volume, especially in buildings not new to the market, reflects a market that has been saturated with high-end product, and prices in the 3rd quarter of 2020 reflect an overall downward trend.
