  • 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.

  • Development News Highlights MANHATTAN - MID 2ND QUARTER 2016 Looking Ahead
    Development News Highlights MANHATTAN - MID 2ND QUARTER 2016 Looking Ahead Midtown East Rezoning Proposal – Progress Update The massive up-zoning initiative initially proposed back in 2012 during the Bloomberg administration is slowly moving closer to being put into effect. Created in an effort to spark revitalization of the area anchored by Grand Central Terminal, as well as preserve historic landmarks, the proposal had been rejected by City Council members in November 2013; and ultimately withdrawn prior to former Mayor Bloomberg stepping down. Since the changeover of administrations, efforts were reinitiated by Mayor de Blasio. Recent news brought the welcomed announcement that the city administration is hoping to fi nalize their proposal and enter it into the Uniform Land Use Review Process (ULURP) before the end of the year. July 2014 a group called the East Midtown Steering Committee was created. Members of the group represented a wide range of interests including community members, elected offi cials, real estate executives and preservationists. The committee was assigned the task of spearheading the Greater Midtown East rezoning identifi ed as the 2nd Phase that will affect 73-blocks within the Midtown East neighborhood. By getting input upfront from the community and stakeholders prior to the ULURP public review process, it was hoped that the proposal would gain stronger support upon coming up for a vote. A detailed report presenting the committee’s draft plan with recommendations for the up-zoning initiative of the corridor roughly bound by East 57th- and East 39th Streets to the north and south, and 3rd- and 5th Avenues to the east and west was released in October 2015.

  • Luxuryletter February (1)
    a 72 Mercer St, PENTHOUSE W SOHO WWW.THELEONARDSTEINBERGTEAM.COM LUXURYLETTER FEBRUARY 2017 COMING SOON: TRIBECA PENTHOUSE MASTERPIECE Turbulent Times Lead To Solutions The start of 2017 has produced a flurry of activity of all kinds: the high end of the real estate markets in Manhattan and Brooklyn have certainly come back to life, although a little muted in areas compared to the post election bounce. Any administration transfer is a little messy, although this one has been characterized by intense division. Hopefully things settle into a more calm and collected mode so that the economy at large can keep doing its thing. Rational, practical policies serve everyone best. I am eternally confident and optimistic about our future and see a strong opposition as the sign of a healthy democracy. I sincerely hope all sides can find common ground, just the way buyers and sellers do each and every day of the year. Here are some observations: • While Mayor de Blassio rallies for a new (well-intentioned) MANSION TAX for properties $2m and above, London is experiencing its worst real estate market ever….because of similar new taxes. They don’t work. They may raise more revenue per transaction, but they don’t raise more revenues overall if transaction volume drops. And PLEASE, if anyone can find a MANSION in Manhattan or Brooklyn for $2m, PLEASE CALL ME! • The past few weeks/months have taught us how optics are everything: even the very best intentioned ideas poorly messaged and delivered are certain to fail miserably. • A huge challenge of the real estate industry will be finding the skilled labor not only to build housing, but also to build the massive infrastructure plans being discussed.
