The walk analysis excludes open space resources that are not always accessible to the general public, like community gardens, nature areas without trails or other access, concessions, cemeteries, and undeveloped property. NYC Parks properties also excluded: standalone buildings and institutions, triangles and plazas less than 0.20-acres, parkways without active-play resources, strips and malls.

  • 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.

  • Chapter 5: Economic Conditions A. INTRODUCTION and METHODOLOGY B. BACKGROUND HISTORY
    Chapter 5: Economic Conditions A. INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY The TSM Alternative and Build Alternatives 1 and 2 would result in a variety of transportation improvements that may affect economic activity in the primary study area. In addition, subway improvements proposed in Build Alternatives 1 and 2 may also affect the secondary area, West Midtown. This chapter examines economic conditions in the study areas, focusing on employ- ment and commercial development. An overview of employment trends in the city is provided as background to a detailed analysis of existing employment by type within zones and neighbor- hoods in the primary and secondary MESA study area (see page 3-1 and Figure 3-1 in Chapter 3, “Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy,” for the study area boundaries). In addition, major em- ployers or industries that dominate or characterize the neighborhoods are identified. Following that analysis of existing conditions, changes to employment predicted to occur as part of the future background conditions are analyzed. Finally, each of the four alternatives are analyzed for potential economic impacts, including impacts related to regional and/or local economic conditions, such as development, tax revenues and public expenditures, employment opportuni- ties, accessibility, retail sales, the economic vitality of existing businesses, and the effect of a proposed project on established business districts. This chapter assesses the potential impacts on economic conditions that may occur as a result of the operation of each project alternative. Impacts on economic conditions during constrution are documented in Chapter 15, “Construction and Construction Impacts.” Sources for this analysis include employment figures from the U.S.
