The New York City investment sales market started the new year with the same muted market-wide performance that it ended with in 2020.

2020 Market Update & 2021 Predictions

2020 will be remembered as the year New York City commercial real estate weathered a storm like no other. Before COVID-19 impacted our daily lives, 2020 was expected to be a challenging year for commercial real estate due in part to rent regulation law changes in 2019, tax increases, and what promised to be a turbulent election cycle.

Block by Block: 1H20

After a challenging year in 2019, 2020 started off in positive fashion with the first quarter showing promising returns in both dollar volume and transactions. The market finally began to show signs of life following the rent regulation changes in June 2019 as dollar volume and transactions appeared to be trending back towards long-term averages.

2019 was a tumultuous year for the New York City investment sales market. There was Amazon’s derailed plan for its HQ2 in Long Island City, along with sweeping rent reform legislation from the state government.

Even with external factors potentially wreaking havoc, the investment sales market finished 2019 with a total dollar consideration of just under $34B — a decline of 7% from 2018 but a slight increase (+2%) from two years ago.
