In Manhattan Investment Sales, Money Is Moving Faster Than the Market (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are many ways to measure the health of the New York City commercial real estate investment sales market, but one of the most commonly cited statistics can also be misleading: dollar volume. When dollar volume rises, the natural conclusion is that the market is more active. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn’t. Our research at BKREA shows that Manhattan is experiencing an interesting version of the latter today. According to our BKREA Manhattan dollar volume history, Manhattan investment sal
What Will You Do With Your Turn? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At this time of year, as we remember Sept. 11, 2001, I inevitably find myself thinking about time. I think about the people who went to work that morning expecting it to be an ordinary Tuesday.

The premise was relatively simple. For most of my career, information was a great differentiator and had tremendous value because it was difficult to obtain. Knowing who owned a building, what it sold for, what the zoning allowed, what comparable properties trad
The Fever’s Down, But New York’s Rent-Stabilized Market Is Still Ill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New York City’s rent-stabilized housing stock has an increasingly serious economic problem. For years, the operating expenses of these buildings have been rising much faster than their revenues.

The Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 eliminated or restricted many of the
