Brooklyn · Manhattan · Queens · The Bronx // Market data · editorial commentary · buildings, not just listings.
The new buildings on Lafayette are mostly absorbed. The brownstones held their footing. The cafes outlived their leases. Here’s what changed and what didn’t.
The pre-2019 conversions are coming back to market in clusters. We map who’s selling, who’s holding, and why the next twelve months look different from the last.
Six buildings. Three blocks. One unfinished waterfront parcel. The next twelve weeks will say more about the neighborhood than the last twelve months did.
Buildings, not listings. If you’re looking in these blocks — start here.
A 14-floor 1928 prewar. Strong board, low turnover, exceptional original detail. We track three lines here, regularly.
An 1885 Italianate brownstone block. Six houses, one architect. The detail that mattered then still matters.
A 2019 conversion of a 1908 industrial frame. 28 lofts, double-height ceilings, the building that started DUMBO’s second wave.
About one in three of our closings begins before the property ever hits a public board. If you’re looking in a block we cover — ask. We’ll tell you what we know and what we’re watching.
