So, what’s new in Brooklyn Office Market? Let’s take a look at the numbers… Although more new construction inventory appears to be hitting the market, creating more available office space, asking rents just keep going up. Big players like Microsoft and JP Morgan Chase continue to be bullish on NYC real estate and office space in the Big Apple. We’ve even seen major retailers stage a comeback. That includes Nordstrom, Apple, and even a PayPal store. Still, as Brooklyn office rents begin to compete with Manhattan’s, we’ve seen more major companies move and expand to Brooklyn. Even some from Fifth Avenue and Broadway. Technology companies appear to still be the hottest and fastest-growing tenants. A group that can benefit landlords of small creative office lofts and new office buildings Around 10% of all inventory is new or is still under construction and coming to the market from now through 2024.   In Brooklyn Total inventory rose to 36.4M square feet Percentage available for lease decreased to 15.8% Absorption rate negative by 297,585 square feet Asking rents are up to $40.45 per square foot on average Asking rents in prime buildings in Bushwick and Williamsburg can be as high as $70 per square foot At least 2.9M square feet of office space is under construction   Notable construction and renovation projects include: Four new major large-scale developments hit the market in Q3 2019:  Panorama - 733k square feet Dock 72 - 220k square feet 25 Kent Avenue - 508k square feet 341 39th Street, Sunset Park - 214k square feet    Notable upcoming projects include:  The Wheeler in Downtown Brooklyn The Hall at Brooklyn Navy Yard  399 Sands Street  101 Fleet Place  12 Franklin Street  80 Flatbush  570 Fulton Street  625 Fulton Street Domino Sugar Factory aka Ten Grand  One Willoughby Square  30-56 Gem Street 189 Pennsylvania Avenue  Notable relocations and expansions from Manhattan to Brooklyn include:  Rent the Runway 2U Amazon Time Inc American Transit Insurance Bauble Bar Koppers Specialty Chocolate Laundry Service Bjarke Engels Group  Although delivery of new construction is expected to decline until 2022, that is forecast to be the year we’ll see the delivery of more new office space hitting the market and taking off again through 2024.   Market Factors & Economic Indicators Unemployment stood at 3.7% as of October 2019 according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. This could be negatively impacted over the next year or two due to new rent control laws and sweeping new labor laws eliminating the freelance workforce. An estimated 60% of Brooklyn workers worked remotely in 2019. New taxes could also be a factor. In addition to SALT deduction caps and new transfer, mansion tax, and higher property taxes, as well as online sales tax, some presidential candidates are threatening an array of new real estate-related taxes and higher income taxes. All of which could negatively impact employment. While the general economy appears to be holding strong for now, the 2020 presidential election and surrounding media mayhem and fake news is likely to lure many into waiting until after the vote to make their moves. Though following the herd in this way is sure to mean many missing out on the best leasing and acquisition opportunities.   In summary… New York City office markets are perhaps in far better shape than retail. Notable global corporations continue to prize prime property here. Many are expanding their footprints, with more expanding into or relocating Brooklyn. This, in turn, is forcing up local rents. While a surge in new deliveries of newly built and redeveloped properties may show up as historically high vacancy rates in the data, a tapering off of this activity through 2022 should bring balance again. New buildings continue to support higher asking rents per square footage. A trend likely to be further fueled as less square footage comes online.

You’re listening to New York’s Real Estate Market Update from the Ratner Team. In this Brooklyn report, we cover the average residential sales in this sprawling borough of historic brownstones, rowhouses, and exciting new developments.

Median sale prices fell to $790,000 with a 2.2% drop. And this quarter, we saw a decrease of 10.4% percent in the number of transactions. Totaling 2,596 in Q3, 2019 compared to 2,898 in Q3, 2018. Properties stayed 81 days on the market in Q3 2019 vs 80 days in Q3 2018.   New Development Condo sales in this 3rd quarter sold for an average of $1,076,090 at an average of $1,047 dollars per foot. That’s in contrast to $1,240 per square foot last year. This was a 15.6% percent decrease in price per foot from the same quarter last year when the average sale price was $1,210,357. The average sales price of new condos saw a decline of 11.1%. According to this quarter’s data, these properties are spending significantly less time on the market: this year. It took an average of 114 days to sell a new development property, versus 210 days in Q3, 2019.   Existing condo sales prices are on a slight decline as well.

Selling time has also increased: co-ops sat on the market for 65 days in quarter 3, as opposed to 59 days in the same quarter last year.   1-3 unit family homes performed not as good as the co-ops and saw a decrease in and an increase in marketing time. This quarter, the average 1-3 family home sale price was $1,080,728 down 8.9% percent from $1,186,423 last year. Properties, on average, were on the market for 88 days, versus 83 days last year. The number of sales decreased as well to 1,246 vs 1,513 in Q3, 2018. The data shows that 1-3 family homes under $1,500,000 are still in high demand!   In the Luxury Market this quarter, the average luxury property sales price was $2,669,402 That’s a pretty big decrease. Down 8.8% percent from last year. These properties also took longer to sell, being on the market for an average of 125 days, versus 109 days last year.   Across the board, the average recorded price discount was 0.3% percent.

You’re listening to New York’s Real Estate Market Update from The Ratner Team. Manhattan’s grandiose allure of culture, history, and business continues to hold an enviable position in the real estate world for buyers, owners and investors alike. Here’s the data. Just make sure you keep listening for this quarter’s record-high sales.   With an average selling price of $1,656,395, Manhattan’s Residential prices are continuing to drop over last year’s third quarter with an average price of $1,928,049. The average price-per-square-foot fell again this time by 5.3%. It’s now down to $1,524 from $1,610 a foot in Q3 2018. This may always be one of the strongest global property markets, but today’s purchasers are getting more and more floor space for their buck.   Total transactions tallied in at 2,562 this quarter, down 14.2% from a total of 2,987 sales in Q3 2018. We expect Manhattan to maintain this downtrend at least until the end of the year. This dip is happening due to a combination of oversupply of new condos in some areas, increasing interest rates and new regulations for foreign buyers, along with consumer uncertainty as to where the market is heading.   The New Development market is experiencing a correction in prices as well, the average selling price of new development condos fell 12.4% percent in this third quarter to $3,796,985. That’s versus $4,332,408 in Quarter 3 last year. Prices in this market are still falling, and the time it takes to sell is decreasing, too. The average time a new development condo spends on the market is down to around 133 days, compared to last year’s 194 days.   The data for Manhattan’s existing condominium sales is not as bad as new developments but It is also experiencing a price correction. Average sale price for condo sales ran around $2,366,833 in Q3 2019, compared to $2,661,716 dollars in 2018. However, the market time for existing condos has decreased dramatically, now averaging 95 days vs 109 days in Q3 2018. It took 14 days longer to sell a condo vs last year!   Co-op sales fell 15.30% this quarter, recording an average sales price of $1,141,148. Market time increased fractionally as well, coming in at 88 days from 79 days this time last year. If you’re seeking a more stable market, co-ops continue to be worth a look.   Of course, even with an 18.9% decrease, luxury property sales bring the most lucrative numbers this quarter. The average selling price of a luxury Manhattan property was $6,350,361, a huge difference from last year’s average of $7,831,042. Luxury properties have actually been moving almost the same as last year, staying on the market only 127 days this quarter, compared to125 days in Q3 2018. This is 1.6% lower than last year.   Across the board, the average recorded price discount was 0.1% percent.   Now for the top sales numbers for September 2019:   The well-known neighborhood of Lenox Hill topped November’s single-family residential sales. The townhouse at 18 East 73rd Street sold for $27,000,000. Manhattan’s top sale was claimed by this Lenox Hill townhouse. The expansive 10,080 square foot property offers 6 bedrooms and bathrooms. Sitting between Madison and Fifth Ave, and newly renovated in 2017. A great combination of historic architecture and clean modern finishes.   In Central Park South, the record condo sale for September 2019 goes to 220 Central Park South #56A that finalized for an incredible $41,748,250.    220 Central Park South is another signature project from master architect Robert A.M. Stern, developed by Vornado Realty Trust. The luxury residential condominium development includes an 18-story building called “the Villa” that will front Central Park alongside other comparably sized buildings. Behind the Villa is the 950-foot Tower, which will bring a total of 118 units to the high-end market. The Villa and the Tower will be connected via an arcade that includes a motor court on 58th St. The exterior features Stern’s favorite Alabama limestone punctuated with Juliet balconies, set-back terraces, and ornamental metalwork to give the new building a classic, old New York stature. The building, at 66 stories, offers grand views of Central Park.   This September’s top co-op sold in Carnegie Hill for an impressive $11,500,000 at 1175 Park Ave #9A.  Carnegie Hill took the top spot for NYC co-op sales with this 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath haven on Park Avenue. Sold at $2,704 per square foot, after being on the market for less than 60 days. Although still very dated, the unit enjoys a very modern kitchen   For bargain-seekers who still want Manhattan real estate, Washington Heights and Harlem are currently the least expensive residential areas on the island—average condos in these neighborhoods sold for $615,000 dollars in Harlem & $505,000 in Washington Heights, with average co-op sales of $375,000 in Harlem & $446,900 in Washington Heights.   You can visit our website, <a href="http://www.NewYorkMarketReports.com" rel="noopener">www.NewYorkMarketReports.com</a>, to download the full version of this report, as well as take a closer look at the individual neighborhood reports.   Be sure to check out the new report on  Manhattan’s piers - where to go, and how they are adding value to NYC’s communities.   If you like this information, the best way you can support us is with a 5-star rating.

This year we’ve seen more big real estate moves in play, and see developers marching on with new projects that will continue to change the skyline and living trends over the next few years. The data continues to show the market is changing. Though there are a variety of factors that could tip the market, either way, this year. In this special episode, we’ll dig into the latest data and the most notable trends of the year. What’s happened in 2019, what to look forward to in 2020. Plus, the most impactful factors to watch over the next 12 months. Make sure to check out our special report on the next 100 years for Brooklyn and what planning and developments are going into place to shape it and sustain its place on the map and a more prosperous community for all those that call this borough home.   The Real Estate Market in 2019 Looking back at our annual report this time last year it appears we called the market pretty well. The main theme 13 months ago was the peaking of the market. While new records were still being set, there were signs of some correcting. We’ve seen a lot of the same trends flowing through 2019. There have definitely been undeniable cracks deepening in some segments of the market. Yet, we’ve also seen some parts of the market outperform expectations, stay stronger than expected and even rebound. A dive into Brooklyn rental market statistics shows that overall the market is holding quite well, and prices are still high. Even though some gains maybe only being maintained by an equal amount of discounts, and landlord concessions. Though this gap may finally be closing. Still, it is impossible to deny that the data also shows that home sales are dropping off, more price cuts are happening, and both residential and commercial buyers and renters are gaining more negotiating power out there. Yet, on the commercial property front, America’s largest corporations show no sign of lack of appetite for new offices. In fact, some continue to set records with big, bold deals in prime locations. Factors that have been affecting the market and influencing these trends include:  New construction levels Rumors of a pending recession New innovations and technology New tax laws A highly litigious business environment Returns on investment property  One of the things everyone seemed to get wrong about 2019 was rising interest rates. In fact, global interest rates appear to have reversed course. Internationally negative interest rates have become more common. There has been more talk of pushing US rates to zero or below. While some mortgage rate offers are approaching the 5% range as predicted, Bankrate also reports many lenders are still offering long term fixed-rate mortgage deals at under 4% as of January 2020. Access to mortgage credit now appears to be more of a concern for 2020 than interest rates will be until at least mid-2021. 2019 brought some incredible new master-planned projects to the market in New York. They’ve added a lot of additional commercial and residential inventory to the marketplace. At least one developer has been sitting on 1,000 plus unsold luxury condos. Many have gone unsold for years. However, the amount of inventory hitting the market is expected to drop significantly this year, providing better balance in the market. Then it will grow slowly with new deliveries hitting the market more modestly though 2022. One of the most surprising and unexpected turn arounds of 2020 is retail. It’s no secret that Manhattan and even Fifth Avenue have been some of the most affected by the big shifts in retail over the past couple of years. Now, in the past few months we’ve seen a few major retailers attempting to stage a come back with brick and mortar, and even some very notable online and tech businesses setting up real shops on prime shopping strips. One of the biggest fails of the year, and perhaps the decade has been the demise of WeWork. The office giant who tied up an enormous amount of prime office space, and then lost investors tens of billions of dollars in value. We likely haven’t felt the full impact of this yet. Perhaps most impactful of all in 2019 was the institution of new rent controls and regulations favoring tenants over landlords. This definitely has caused concerns for real estate professionals, lenders and investors in both California and New York. These types of rules haven’t detracted from the demand for prime properties in these areas in the past. Though they certainly don’t ever seem to work to really help renters or the market either. The one bigger threat to the markets and national economy in 2020, is an expansion of California’s recent regulations ending freelance and remote work. With some 12 million freelancers on a single platform as of 2019 and as many as 60% of Brooklyn workers now working remotely, the impact of rules like these spreading to New York could create unemployment at the highest levels ever seen in America. It could be triple the rates seen in the Great Depression in the 1930s.   The National Property Market While all real estate is local and every market is very different, one of the most significant metrics over the past year has been house prices. According to Realtor.com, the average asking price for a home peaked in May 2019 at $315,000. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis even puts the average price of sold properties in Q3 2019 at over $380,000. Yet, as of January 2020, Zillow reported the median sales price of a home in America at just $236,900. Multifamily and other types of real estate have stayed in demand as domestic and international investors maintain their appetite for US property and search for yields and a safe way to diversify from the inflated stock market.   Most Notable Property Deals in 2019 2019 kicked off incredibly strong with the record setting penthouse purchase by Kenneth Griffin for $238M. The biggest success of 2019 may have been the grand opening of the $25B Hudson Yards project. The most newsworthy was the deal that didn’t happen. The Amazon HQ2 debacle. The $2.5B deal in Queens that was ripped up due to the extreme incentives and breaks being used to secure the deal. Amazon has since announced it is leasing over 300k square feet of additional space in Manhattan.   New Rules & Taxes It’s been a great and terrible year for taxes for New York real estate owners.  Many are still coming to grips with the SALT tax deduction limits imposed starting in 2018. New ‘mansion’ taxes and real estate transfer taxes have added a heavy burden to sellers. Nassau County on Long Island has been especially hard hit. The county recently reassessed every property at peak values, resulting in many owners seeing annual property tax bills soar by as much as 50%. There is also talk of ending property tax relief checks which could further hurt lower end property owners. At the same time, local governments are still buying and holding property, which is taking revenue from tax rolls and increasing the burden on taxpayers. This year’s presidential election is also likely to significantly hinge on taxes. Some candidates have been very vocal about their goals to dramatically increase income taxes and implement a whole barrage of new real estate-related taxes, including a 25% flipping tax on investors. At the same time, NYC real estate investors have also enjoyed another year with many great tax benefit opportunities. They have included investing in real estate tax-free with self-directed Roth IRAs, Opportunity Zones, and 1031 exchanges. We never know how long these breaks will last, but they should remain available through 2020. As April’s tax deadlines approach investors should be seizing on the opportunity to restructure portfolios, maximizes write-offs, and max out contributions to self-directed 401ks and IRAs.   Biggest Factors Impacting The Market In 2020 What’s in store for 2020? These factors will be major influencers in what we are reporting in a year from now. An anticipated surge in commercial mortgage lending could help support the market through 2020. Leading this charge is life insurance companies who have said they plan to invest another $150B in these investments. The one thing that could derail these plans to plow billions more into the US commercial market is mortgage defaults. At least one of NYC’s most notable investors has already been losing properties due to defaulting on loans. That together with any deep correction could put the freeze on new financings. Declining residential property prices will be a significant factor too. Defaults on loans could lead to more discounts on the new Manhattan luxury condo inventory. Much of which has been sitting on the market for years. When home and condo owners start seeing hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity disappear and high rates of property owners in negative equity situations rise, fear can set in. All eyes are also on Manhattan retail. It is can really make a come back it will give markets a lot of fresh confidence. If they don’t pull off this new return to brick and mortar, then Brooklyn could be a major beneficiary as more retailers move to this borough. Tech will be a big driver too. Not only because the largest tech companies have been buying expensive chunks of NYC real estate. The efficiency new technology offers real estate investors and property managers will make all the difference over the next 12 and 24 months too. New tech tools mean being able to invest more accurately, and operate leaner and more profitably, even if rents are going up and asset prices remain high. Thanks to California’s crippling new laws, including the CCPA and freelancer law that went into effect on January 1st, 2020, more and more tech companies and startups are likely to choose NYC as their preferred headquarters. We’ve already been experiencing great traction in the creative loft and small office space market.

This year we’ve seen more big real estate moves in play, and see developers marching on with new projects that will continue to change the skyline and living trends over the next few years. The data continues to show the market is changing. Though there are a variety of factors that could tip the market, either way, this year. In this special episode, we’ll dig into the latest data and the most notable trends of the year. What’s happened in 2019, what to look forward to in 2020. Plus, the most impactful factors to watch over the next 12 months. Make sure to check out our special report on the next 100 years for Brooklyn and what planning and developments are going into place to shape it and sustain its place on the map and a more prosperous community for all those that call this borough home.   The Real Estate Market in 2019 Looking back at our annual report this time last year it appears we called the market pretty well. The main theme 13 months ago was the peaking of the market. While new records were still being set, there were signs of some correcting. We’ve seen a lot of the same trends flowing through 2019. There have definitely been undeniable cracks deepening in some segments of the market. Yet, we’ve also seen some parts of the market outperform expectations, stay stronger than expected and even rebound. A dive into Brooklyn rental market statistics shows that overall the market is holding quite well, and prices are still high. Even though some gains maybe only being maintained by an equal amount of discounts, and landlord concessions. Though this gap may finally be closing. Still, it is impossible to deny that the data also shows that home sales are dropping off, more price cuts are happening, and both residential and commercial buyers and renters are gaining more negotiating power out there. Yet, on the commercial property front, America’s largest corporations show no sign of lack of appetite for new offices. In fact, some continue to set records with big, bold deals in prime locations. Factors that have been affecting the market and influencing these trends include:  New construction levels Rumors of a pending recession New innovations and technology New tax laws A highly litigious business environment Returns on investment property  One of the things everyone seemed to get wrong about 2019 was rising interest rates. In fact, global interest rates appear to have reversed course. Internationally negative interest rates have become more common. There has been more talk of pushing US rates to zero or below. While some mortgage rate offers are approaching the 5% range as predicted, Bankrate also reports many lenders are still offering long term fixed-rate mortgage deals at under 4% as of January 2020. Access to mortgage credit now appears to be more of a concern for 2020 than interest rates will be until at least mid-2021. 2019 brought some incredible new master-planned projects to the market in New York. They’ve added a lot of additional commercial and residential inventory to the marketplace. At least one developer has been sitting on 1,000 plus unsold luxury condos. Many have gone unsold for years. However, the amount of inventory hitting the market is expected to drop significantly this year, providing better balance in the market. Then it will grow slowly with new deliveries hitting the market more modestly though 2022. One of the most surprising and unexpected turn arounds of 2020 is retail. It’s no secret that Manhattan and even Fifth Avenue have been some of the most affected by the big shifts in retail over the past couple of years. Now, in the past few months we’ve seen a few major retailers attempting to stage a come back with brick and mortar, and even some very notable online and tech businesses setting up real shops on prime shopping strips.

This month’s roundup shows a New York City real estate market that just keeps marching on. It’s redeveloping and upgrading every day. New projects keep coming online. Despite recent softness in the data, there are many encouraging signs that the worst could already be behind us. Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable news this month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines… The darkest days of NYC retail could be behind us. At least some major companies seem to be making a comeback. In addition to new Apple and Nordstrom stores,  PayPal has decided to open a physical store this year. The digital payment company’s new location puts it right on prime 5th Avenue real estate.   The Lower East Side’s Essex Crossing Development reports it is doing well too. All but two spaces have been leased. A new food hall just opened at the development, the 150,000 square food  Market Line.   Also, look out for an array of  holiday markets and seasonal pop-up shops across New York City.   These include:  Union Square Park Bank of America’s Winter Village at Bryant Park Grand Holiday Bazaar on the UWS Grand Central Terminal The Turnstyle Underground Market Columbus Circle Brooklyn Flea & Smorgasburg Winter Market The Handmade Cavalcade in Brooklyn Heights Brooklyn Navy-Yard Brooklyn Holiday Bazaar in Gowanus Renegade Craft Fair at Brooklyn Expo Center Greenpointers Holiday Market    Even though national retailers seemed extra desperate this year, with Black Friday sales beginning back in October, over $700B is expected to have been splurged on this key day in the run-up to holiday shopping.   For investors, the one nagging fear is new  commercial rent control laws. Recent residential rent controls are already expected to have cost the city $20M in lost revenues. New commercial rent controls would cap rent increases for office and retail tenants leasing 10,000 square feet or less. As well as manufacturing tenants leasing up to 25,000 square feet.   New changes went into effect for the  EB 5 visa program in November. Most notably, there is a huge jump in the minimum investment amounts foreign nationals must bring to qualify for visas. The standard minimum investment is now $1.8M. It can be as low as $900k for those in low employment areas.   A new survey from  Apartment List reports that many millennials have given up on the idea of ever buying a home. They plan to become and stay renters for life. Even among those who would like to buy a home, half have zero money saved for a down payment. Just 10% have $10,000 saved.   In addition to all of the existing online review websites, New York City landlords need to be on top of new ratings coming online. This includes a new blacklist of New York City’s  landlords with the worst reputation for evictions. As well as the new 2020  letter grading system which rates buildings by energy efficiency. Landlords will be required to submit their data or face fines.   For Brooklyn Real Estate News Last month we covered the new Brooklyn welcome sign in Columbia Heights, and developments at Dock 72 at the Brooklyn Navy Yards, and Fort Greene’s BAM Historic District.   The month the big news is the groundbreaking of the new Tetris looking towers at  Greenpoint Landing. The mega project spans 22 acres on the water and includes a 2.5-acre waterfront park. The two towers will bring almost 750 new apartments along with almost 9,000 square feet of retail space. When completed the project will encompass 11 towers with 5,500 residential units.   In other boroughs New renderings reveal the design for the  Bankside megaproject in the South Bronx. The industrial-looking glass towers cover 4.3 acres, with over 1,300 new apartments.    In Queens, an old hospital is been transformed into a new mixed-use development. However, the  Far Rockaway project could take 15 years to be completed.   In Manhattan, the Lower East Side could be rebuilt at 10 feet higher as a  flood protection measure. Local objectors plan to sue the city for approving the plan.   The old Printing District of  Hudson Square has become a major new tech hub with tenants like Google, Disney, and Nuveen.   Residential rents remain strong.  October data shows slight increases in rents over last year, even though around 40% of all new leases include some type of deals and concessions.   Manhattan commercial rents may take a while to bounce back. They are down by 6% to 18%.  Saks Fifth Avenue’s flagship store recent took a value write-down of close to $2B, or 60% from five years ago.    Tribeca also seems to have lost a lot of ground. Prices there have dropped 30% to 45% year over year.   On the bright side, this correction may also bring a lot of buyers and tenants back as they see more value. This includes many online retailers and tech workers who are putting their money back into physical assets. Such as one Instagram influencer who with just 100k followers was able to buy a $22.5M Park Avenue property with sweeping views. The expansive pad was listed for nearly $27M.   Wood is back in. Wondering what to build or decorate with next? Timber is now being recognized as the safer, greener and more sustainable  building material. It may even be cheaper and stronger than steel.   In conclusion... While there continues to be some concern over the amount of unsold condo inventory, developers keep coming up with new deals. Residential rents seem strong.   There are concerns and frustration over new commercial and residential rent regulations and even more over increasing taxes which seem to be having a negative impact.   Still,  the view from the top still looks great, and major retailers could be poised to turn things around. New rules are also putting pressure on investors to focus on even bigger deals.   Get out there and make some plays while the prices are good. Though don’t neglect to take some time to explore NYC’s holiday markets and enjoy the season.   Make sure you’ve checked out our new special episode on Brooklyn Startups too.   Well, that’s it for this month’s round-up.

This month’s roundup shows a New York City real estate market that just keeps marching on. It’s redeveloping and upgrading every day. New condo prices, the completion of new projects in Brooklyn all seem to be great highlights. Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable news this month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines… WeWork’s failure has already cost investors billions of dollars.  Softbank alone has had to write off $5B already, and even deeper cuts are likely to come as it unravels. Unfortunately, the company with great aspirations just got too big too fast and maybe a victim of its own success and lack of a sustainable business model. This sadly doesn’t bode well for others in this space like Airbnb. Of course, its CEO  Adam Neuman is still making out quite well from the deal. His termination package includes getting paid $1.7B to walk away, in addition to the $700M in stock he recently cashes out. Real estate tech still continues to attract substantial investments.  Appraisal startup Bowery Valuation just pulled in $8M in funding from Lightstone. Billionaire real estate investor  Sam Zell who recently predicted WeWork’s collapse now says new rent control laws are having a chilling effect on property development.  Blackstone just turned a $7B profit on the portfolio of office properties they bought from Sam Zell for $39B back in 2007. An amazing feat considering the intense crash that followed their historic record-setting purchase. Still, the  Real Deal reports that construction spending is expected to hit $190B within the next 24 months. However, even with continued growth, construction job growth is expected to peak within the next year, especially with new technologies that are replacing workers.  BisNow says that the game has officially changed for NYC landlords. Instead of it all being about location, location, location, success is now all about the product, product, product. It’s all about making the upgrades to compete with new construction. If you aren’t bringing your properties up to date leasing will be slow and rents will be low. One of the hottest emerging spaces in commercial real estate leasing today is for film studios. At least for now, all the major media companies are vying for space to produce their own streaming content. We’ve seen Robert De Niro fund new studio spaces and Netflix on a land grab. Apple TV reportedly has $6B to fund original content production. Eventually, we will probably see a major roll up and consolidation in this space as viewers get tired of paying for multiple  streaming services. For now, landlords see these long leases from national credit tenants as a great thing. In other news, NY has lost its lawsuit to repeal new SALT tax deduction caps. Along with NJ, MD and CT, NY saw its lawsuit shot down by a NY federal judge at the end of September. The new rules cut the average taxpayers' SALT deductions by more than half each year, to just $10,000. All while taxes, and especially property taxes keep going up. This has forced many business owners and wealthy individuals out. All contributing to a 45% jump in  empty storefronts over the past decade. There are many options NY could use to reduce the tax burden and increase retention and appeal to new investors and businesses. Adding more taxes to turn off online retailers and businesses is probably one of the worst and most counterproductive. NYC home sales have stalled out, but this is only fueling more competition for rentals. Street Easy reports this has created the fastest pace of rent growth since 2016. NW Brooklyn rents are up another 3.5% to $3,115 on average. Even submarkets are seeing rents up to $100 a year over year. It’s a trend likely to continue as buyers hold off to see where the bottom of the market will land. 2  Hudson Yards penthouses have just listed for $59M, making them the most expensive sold below 42nd, if they achieve their asking prices. The supertall building designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill will also have an Equinox hotel and office space.     For Brooklyn Real Estate News Brooklyn is getting a giant  new welcome sign. Replacing the old watchtower sign at 30 Columbia Heights, the new welcome sign has finally received permit approval and aims to attract visitors and new businesses. As a part of the $2.5B master-planned development at the Brooklyn Navy Yard,  Dock 72 is debuting its 16 story office building. It will include film studio space and other tenants. What will happen to the space dedicated to the now failed WeWork in the building is unclear.  Fort Greene could be getting a new 24 story apartment tower and music school. The Gotham Organization has announced plans for this proposed new development in the BAM historic district, not far from the borough’s new tallest tower.   In other boroughs Queen’s  Skyline Tower has set the borough’s record for the most in anticipated gross sales, at over $1B. The tower topped out at 778 feet and is home to 802 residential units. Floundering developer  Extell has come up with a new idea to move the 80% of its units that have gone unsold. One Manhattan Square on the LES has announced a rent to buy the program, which lets prospects test drive units for a full year. 400 bus stops in the Bronx are being axed as a new redesign plan goes into play. Investors may find this a mix of pain and new opportunities. You can now buy tickets to the Hudson Yards 1,100 foot  high observation deck to check out the views. It’s no secret that  Manhattan retail rents have been falling for the last couple of years, and many retailers have been resizing. However, no retailers are bucking the trend. Apple is reopening its flagship store.  Nordstrom is opening a massive store in Midtown   In conclusion... While there continues to be some concern over the amount of unsold condo inventory, developers keep coming up with new deals. Residential rents seem strong. There is concern and frustration over new rent regulations and even more over increasing taxes which seem to be having a negative impact. Though the view from the top still looks great, and major retailers could be poised to turn things around.

This month’s roundup shows a New York City real estate market that just keeps marching on. It’s redeveloping and upgrading every day. New condo prices, the completion of new projects in Brooklyn all seem to be great highlights. Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable news this month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines… WeWork’s failure has already cost investors billions of dollars.  Softbank alone has had to write off $5B already, and even deeper cuts are likely to come as it unravels. Unfortunately, the company with great aspirations just got too big too fast and maybe a victim of its own success and lack of a sustainable business model. This sadly doesn’t bode well for others in this space like Airbnb. Of course, its CEO  Adam Neuman is still making out quite well from the deal. His termination package includes getting paid $1.7B to walk away, in addition to the $700M in stock he recently cashes out. Real estate tech still continues to attract substantial investments.  Appraisal startup Bowery Valuation just pulled in $8M in funding from Lightstone. Billionaire real estate investor  Sam Zell who recently predicted WeWork’s collapse now says new rent control laws are having a chilling effect on property development.  Blackstone just turned a $7B profit on the portfolio of office properties they bought from Sam Zell for $39B back in 2007. An amazing feat considering the intense crash that followed their historic record-setting purchase. Still, the  Real Deal reports that construction spending is expected to hit $190B within the next 24 months. However, even with continued growth, construction job growth is expected to peak within the next year, especially with new technologies that are replacing workers.  BisNow says that the game has officially changed for NYC landlords. Instead of it all being about location, location, location, success is now all about the product, product, product. It’s all about making the upgrades to compete with new construction. If you aren’t bringing your properties up to date leasing will be slow and rents will be low. One of the hottest emerging spaces in commercial real estate leasing today is for film studios. At least for now, all the major media companies are vying for space to produce their own streaming content. We’ve seen Robert De Niro fund new studio spaces and Netflix on a land grab. Apple TV reportedly has $6B to fund original content production. Eventually, we will probably see a major roll up and consolidation in this space as viewers get tired of paying for multiple  streaming services. For now, landlords see these long leases from national credit tenants as a great thing. In other news, NY has lost its lawsuit to repeal new SALT tax deduction caps. Along with NJ, MD and CT, NY saw its lawsuit shot down by a NY federal judge at the end of September. The new rules cut the average taxpayers' SALT deductions by more than half each year, to just $10,000. All while taxes, and especially property taxes keep going up. This has forced many business owners and wealthy individuals out. All contributing to a 45% jump in  empty storefronts over the past decade. There are many options NY could use to reduce the tax burden and increase retention and appeal to new investors and businesses. Adding more taxes to turn off online retailers and businesses is probably one of the worst and most counterproductive. NYC home sales have stalled out, but this is only fueling more competition for rentals. Street Easy reports this has created the fastest pace of rent growth since 2016.

This month’s roundup shows a New York City real estate market that just keeps marching on. It’s redeveloping and upgrading every day. New condo prices, the completion of new megaprojects in Brooklyn and office leasing all seem to be great highlights. While there are still many units that will need to be absorbed into the market, transactions seem to show continued confidence in this strong market as the status quo for the foreseeable future. Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable news this month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines…    WeWork’s IPO is probably the biggest news this month. The office giant has pushed ahead with getting listed on the NASDAQ despite quite vocal detractors, including millionaire commercial real estate investor  Sam Zell and WeWork’s own lead investor Softbank. WeWork’s valuation has plummeted by more than 50%, from $47B to around $20B. The company is reportedly zoned in ongoing public to raise another $10B. While many are concerned that not only is the company on shaky ground, but presents a major threat to office markets in NYC and London.  It is one of the largest office landlords in the world. Yet, has a dangerous business model, which left it losing almost $1B in the first half of 2019, on $1.5B in revenues. Many worry that it is unsustainable and could drag down both the real estate market and the stock market with it. Billionaire investor and deal maker  Carl Ichan is the latest notable New Yorker to make the move to South Florida, along with his company. Part of a much larger migration of businesses and wealthy individuals who have been fleeing NY’s extreme taxes, including property taxes. Ichan has offered his employees $50,000 each to help with their move, if they set up residency in Florida as well.  The industry thought it dodge the  pied-a-terre tax with the last budget. With the effects of new rent controls still stinging, a renewed effort to tax real estate in NY even further is lemon juice on fresh wounds. Many are not happy about it. Many are frustrated that lawmakers just don’t see how damaging taxation and rent controls already are. We’ll have to see how this battle plays out. Despite being another big IPO that has been losing a lot of money, Uber has continued to spend big on New York real estate. Following its lease at Hudson Yards in the first quarter, the ride sharing company reportedly just signed a much larger lease at 3 World Trade. The latest figures show New York companies are spending over $1B a year on  office space. A figure expected to rise by another $100M a year by 2020. Rents are up 40% since 2014, and demand may continue to keep them strong. While we recently covered the fact that a slow down in building permits and deliveries should bring balance to the market in the next few years, data suggests 25% of condo units recently coming to market remain unsold. 40% of units on Billionaire’s Row are unsold. While developers are unlikely to drop prices much, there could be plenty of incentives coming for buyers and renters.   For Brooklyn Real Estate News Another rental tower has begun leasing at  The Domino Sugar Factory megaproject. The 45 story building at One South First. With current promotional deals, studio leasing prices start at around $3,500 per month.  Over at the  River Park development in Cobble Hill, sales have just launched as well. There are just 48 apartments in this 20 story building. Although there are plenty of amenities to rave about, prices aren’t cheap. A 530 square foot studio starts at $1M. One of DUMBO’s last  condo to loft conversions just hit the market too. One bedrooms at 168 Plymouth start at $1.4M.  Williamsburg’s Moore’s Street Market is getting a nice makeover with $2.7M in donations to upgrade the indoor space that has been operating since 1941. Be sure to check out our special report on successful Brooklyn Startups and all they are achieving.     In other boroughs  One  Manhattan landlord was just busted for turning 2 condos into 18 micro apartments. Each as small as 70 square feet and with ceiling heights as low as 4 and a half feet high. The owner faces close to $150,000 in fines, plus $1,000 a day until the units are restored.   Life is hard for many living in NYC. Conditions aren’t always good. One condo buyer recently felt so hard done by they filed a  class action lawsuit. All because the $3.6M condo didn’t have a $2,200 wine cooler.   Finally, a little more sanity is coming to New York’s affordable housing. NYC’s affordable housing lottery is finally doing away with credit checks in order to participate. However, applicants will still have to provide proof of positive rental history.   New York City landlords may soon have to register their first and second floor storefronts. The move is aimed at tracking vacant units, and then coming up with a solution to get them filled.   The Union Square Tech Training Center recently celebrated breaking ground and is expected to open in 2020, and to create over 1,000 short term and permanent jobs.   In conclusion... While there continues to be some concern over the amount of unsold condo inventory, prices still seem strong. Residential rents and commercial leasing seems strong. Big tech companies keep inking large leases. How this plays out over the next few years may largely depend on the success of WeWork and its post-IPO performance.  There is concern and frustration over new rent regulations, and even more over increasing taxes which seem to be having a negative impact. Yet, luxury units are still commanding high rents, even when calculating promotional deals.  Make sure you’ve checked out our new special episode on Brooklyn Startups too.

This month’s roundup shows a New York City real estate market that just keeps marching on. It’s redeveloping and upgrading every day. New condo prices, the completion of new megaprojects in Brooklyn and office leasing all seem to be great highlights. While there are still many units that will need to be absorbed into the market, transactions seem to show continued confidence in this strong market as the status quo for the foreseeable future. Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable news this month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines…    WeWork’s IPO is probably the biggest news this month. The office giant has pushed ahead with getting listed on the NASDAQ despite quite vocal detractors, including millionaire commercial real estate investor  Sam Zell and WeWork’s own lead investor Softbank. WeWork’s valuation has plummeted by more than 50%, from $47B to around $20B. The company is reportedly zoned in ongoing public to raise another $10B. While many are concerned that not only is the company on shaky ground, but presents a major threat to office markets in NYC and London.  It is one of the largest office landlords in the world. Yet, has a dangerous business model, which left it losing almost $1B in the first half of 2019, on $1.5B in revenues. Many worry that it is unsustainable and could drag down both the real estate market and the stock market with it. Billionaire investor and deal maker  Carl Ichan is the latest notable New Yorker to make the move to South Florida, along with his company. Part of a much larger migration of businesses and wealthy individuals who have been fleeing NY’s extreme taxes, including property taxes. Ichan has offered his employees $50,000 each to help with their move, if they set up residency in Florida as well.  The industry thought it dodge the  pied-a-terre tax with the last budget. With the effects of new rent controls still stinging, a renewed effort to tax real estate in NY even further is lemon juice on fresh wounds. Many are not happy about it. Many are frustrated that lawmakers just don’t see how damaging taxation and rent controls already are. We’ll have to see how this battle plays out. Despite being another big IPO that has been losing a lot of money, Uber has continued to spend big on New York real estate. Following its lease at Hudson Yards in the first quarter, the ride sharing company reportedly just signed a much larger lease at 3 World Trade. The latest figures show New York companies are spending over $1B a year on  office space. A figure expected to rise by another $100M a year by 2020. Rents are up 40% since 2014, and demand may continue to keep them strong. While we recently covered the fact that a slow down in building permits and deliveries should bring balance to the market in the next few years, data suggests 25% of condo units recently coming to market remain unsold. 40% of units on Billionaire’s Row are unsold. While developers are unlikely to drop prices much, there could be plenty of incentives coming for buyers and renters.   For Brooklyn Real Estate News Another rental tower has begun leasing at  The Domino Sugar Factory megaproject. The 45 story building at One South First. With current promotional deals, studio leasing prices start at around $3,500 per month.  Over at the  River Park development in Cobble Hill, sales have just launched as well. There are just 48 apartments in this 20 story building. Although there are plenty of amenities to rave about, prices aren’t cheap. A 530 square foot studio starts at $1M. One of DUMBO’s last  condo to loft conversions just hit the market too. One bedrooms at 168 Plymouth start at $1.4M.  Williamsburg’s Moore’s Street Market is getting a nice makeover with $2.7M in donations to upgrade the indoor space that has been operating since 1941.

Let’s take a look at the numbers… Although more new construction inventory appears to be hitting the market, creating more available office space, asking rents just keep going up. Big players like Microsoft, JP Morgan Chase and WeWork continue to be bullish on NYC real estate and office space in the Big Apple. Among the most notable stats, this quarter is a 45% jump in new leasing in Midtown South, while Downtown Manhattan leasing fell 29% from Q1 2019. Financial West’s vacancy rates have swollen to over 22%, while Class B rents have risen to a new all-time high of $57.40 per square foot.   In Manhattan  Total inventory rose to 453M square feet Percentage available for lease is up to 9.7% Absorption was negative by over 1.6 million square feet Asking rents are up to $76.57 per foot Over 16.9M square feet of office space is under construction The highest asking rents were found in the Far West Side at $118.73 per square foot. The lowest asking rents were just $52.67 in the East Village Notable leasing activity included: Over 320,000 feet taken by AIG at the Rockefeller Center Almost 213,000 square feet taken by WeWork in Chelsea And Time Warner’s sale and leaseback of 1.5M square feet at 30 Hudson Yards     In Brooklyn Total inventory rose to 35.4M square feet Percentage available for lease rose to 17.4% The absorption rate is up Asking rents are up to $40.45 per square foot on average Office space under construction rose to 4.6M square feet   Notable leasing activity included Rent The Runway’s move from Manhattan to 10 Jay Street in Brooklyn, with 83,000 square feet of space leased.   Notable construction and renovation projects include:  540 Fulton Street Domino Sugar Factory One Willoughby Square    Deliver of new construction is expected to decline through 2022, providing more balance to the market, and potentially more fuel to raise asking rents.   In Terms of Market Factors & Economic Indicators  NYC employment stood steady at 4.6M in Q2 2019 Unemployment rose slightly to 4.3%, above the national average Vacancy rates rose to 10.5% Over 9M square feet of new office space is coming online this year. 84% of it is already reportedly pre-leased. With construction delivery expected to taper off over the next two years, landlords could find more support for even higher rents and availability tapers off.   In summary… Overall this quarter’s data show a strong first half of the year for New York City office markets. It’s perhaps in far better shape than retail. Notable global corporations continue to prize prime property here. Many are expanding their footprints, with more expanding into or relocating Brooklyn, where rents are cheaper, and more space is available. While we should keep an eye on subleasing data, the strength of renewals, new and pre-leases suggest good balance in the market, and not much to fear from new developments coming to market. There appears to be no lack of appetite for great properties in new locations. While a surge in new deliveries of newly built and redeveloped properties may show up as historically high vacancy rates in the data, a tapering off of this activity through 2022 should bring balance again. New buildings continue to support higher asking rents per square footage. A trend likely to be further fueled as less square footage comes online. With unemployment so low, upcoming job numbers may seem lean, though there isn’t much more of the population to employ. How much more office space we will need and be able to absorb may depend on recruiting more residents to the state and continuing to make sure housing is affordable.

Walk in the streets of Brooklyn or any urban area you know you have to really be a detective. It's not just looking ahead and watching out for dogs, you gotta watch the sidewalks, the glass. Storefronts have good hearts and they leave out waterfalls in the summer. I will not let any of my dogs drink out of that. [01:00] Suzanne: Welcome to the Brooklyn made show I am Suzanne Lin. Today we're gonna be talking to a guy that well he just kind of rocks. His name is rock, Rocky Conway and he is a dog walker. [02:02] He's the owner for New York Dogs Rock in the Dumbo area. If you think it's just about walking dogs and it's an easy task and there's not a lot of skill to it, you are gonna want to stick around. Because Rocky has got a fascinating story about how he got into it. You're gonna hear his heart and his love of dogs, so let's just jump right into the show. Rock let's start off by talking about your love and passion for what you do and and how you got started? Rock: Absolutely, it started really with my mom getting me to be not so frightened around our superintendent's dog. His name was Russ, he was a cutie. So, she had me threatening to go over and had him and whatnot. But I basically would hide behind her. Suzanne: Yeah. Rock: Oddly enough a few years later, I ended up becoming his dog walker though there's no such thing as a dog walker in those days you know. [03:00] For 25 cents a trip which was a lot of money in 1966. From there, I know what I don't think I would have really remembered the story so clearly if I had not become the dog walker you know so many years later. Suzanne:Was your mom, she wanted to make sure you weren't afraid and she also had a love for animals clearly? Rock: She had a love for animals. Yes, we had a lot of alley cats in those days and because there was Mrs. Conway, but chucking the cooked food to the kitties. You know the trick and hearts and stuff like that. It all comes to the window and just understanding the rapport between people and animals. She was a very strong person but more so she, in this case, she was being supported with me as a child, which she did to my three older siblings. She was fantastic in that way. Suzanne: What a great inspiration, I mean we're recording this right the day before Mother's Day. You're kind of making me tear up, thinking about the love you have for your mom and what a huge influence here you know decades later. [04:00] Tell me about your business? Rock: The business is, it's a modest-sized dog-walking company and we're out sounding all corporate America. I am trying to expand so this way ironically I'll have more free time and I'll be able to run it better you know. As I say run it better it's being run to the max and my clients who actually are customers, they're not better words are so formal. I just won't be so consumed because what goes into it is promotions as well as the physical and psychological manifestation. They're taking care of the dogs you know they're like pills and I look at them for my being a 6-month-old baby to maybe a 10-year-old. You know you have to understand a lot of nurture and goes into this. Without sounding when I say psychology that it comes out of a textbook. I mean really understanding and that comes through love and being sincere. They all have their own personalities. Suzanne: Wow, I love the fact that you understand each dog is so different. [05:01] I mean you have a special relationship with each one. Rock: Yes, but as we know again it is a business that if you lose sight of that you'll find yourself out of business. This is why I buy offer packages; you know introductory, reduced fees for like when they first start walking with us for two to four weeks. If they use, they need multiple walks a day then they get at least a 5 percent discount, which just means that 20th walk is free. Suzanne: Okay. Rock: Everyone likes a bargain and my client make a lot of money. But you give something back and it's not just a sales pitch, be sincere what are people looking for you know and what they eating. We all have to pay our bills and I don't walk into their very lavish apartments and homes and think; well these people can afford anything. Everyone gets charged the same price for whatever they need. See some dogs need extra care so you have to boost up the price. We still understand. [06:02] Suzanne: Now you were talking about like some packages and discounts and stuff. Tell me what else, since we're talking about your business, what other services do you offer? Rock: I also do dog boarding and for those who don't know what that is understandably so. That means I have them stay at my home, if I do dog sitting then I stay with them. Sometimes you strike more for that because you are though kind of I don't want to use the word inconvenienced. But you're displaced you know and you have to, I mean I've stayed at someone's house well for two weeks. So, it's not just -. Suzanne: Oh wow. Rock: So, I got to live forever in middle-class. Suzanne: It's not always real convenient though. I mean so you are charging a premium for that. Rock: I do if you do use me on a regular basis. Which is usually Monday through Friday standard is like a half-hour walk, five days a week. If you're using me but almost every week how can I not give you a discount for dog boarding and dog sitting. [07:04] So, that's the kind of not just to get them to use my full-time, if they don't need it they don't need it. But again, it's always about giving something back. You know what I mean it's that conversation like we're having now. So, you hire me I appreciate it well sometimes I can't always take on a client that we can discuss later. But then what am I going to give in return aside from the love for your dog and the caring. Walk in the streets of Brooklyn or any urban area you know you have to really be a detective. It's not just looking at watching out for dogs, so watch the sidewalks the glass. This storefront has good hearts and they leave out dog water bowls in the summer. I don't mean to paint New York as a bad town but I will not let any of my dogs string out of that. Because who knows, evil person, evil country, might drop something in the water. Suzanne: Wow, I never thought about that. Rock: Well, I grew up born and bred I'm a Brooklyn, I don't know how heavy my accent sounds but it's. [08:05] Suzanne: So, I mean just some of the things you're talking about showing me that you have a very unique business model. What are some other things that maybe you haven't touched on that makes you sound unique? Rock: I would say, well, first of all, I don't even like using the word client even though technically they are. They are customers and what they do is that buying time for me you know. The time that they need for their dog, walks can be 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes an hour. They can be a group walk or can be a solo walk. If it's a solo walk that means the dog is either very timid or just very aggressive. You said why would you walk with are aggressive? Well, they have a right to enjoy life too. Suzanne: Sure. How do you get business, I mean are you relying on social media or how does this work as word-of-mouth, what you do? Rock: Yeah, that's a good question. Dog walking as a whole, when it was at its early stages social media didn't exist with this. [09:03] It maybe existed for other businesses but this wasn't a big corporate business at that point saying. So, what we do is just flyers, word-of-mouth mostly. Which ironically even though I am really delving into social media recently. All my work in the past couple of years has come from what about. Restaurant owners, clients recommending me people that what it depends on what area you work in. So, tumble now is very much like Manhattan in New York City. So, they're mostly skyscraper big buildings with a concierge, I meet different people look at the front desk. So, they've often got me work and not for free if you know what I mean. You network with all the dog walkers, so maybe you'll trade-offs. He or she will say, I can't walk that dog can you walk it. I'll either give them cash upfront or I'll maybe see it, I have a dog in my area that, I want to walk the dog but I'm just too busy at that time. [10:04] There’re many variables yet have to keep yourself open. But the social media is a blessing to be honest because then you can sit at your phone or laptop and get the word out there. But now we're getting back to corporate America. Because it depends how big your budget is you know. Like when social media again when that was in its early stages, “oh look he's got an Instagram, she has a Facebook account, oh this company is on Twitter”. Now everybody is, even your carpenter any independent contractors you know. If the more you spend the more recognition you get. I have to be realistic because I'm a small company what my budget is. I put a very little down for Instagram and I got many more hits. If those hits turn into money so, therefore, I have more money to put into advertising. Suzanne: Sure. [11:00] Rock: Exactly, sauce the pillow up it's just to go in a positive direction you know. Suzanne: Rock, how did you get into dog walking? Rock: A mutual friend introduced me to a man by the name of Scott, who is a really good jazz musician. I'm a rock musician which the woman didn't know. But that's fine she meant well sweetheart of a woman. We did talk and it so happened that he was a dog walker and was going on vacation. I filled in for him and I briefly worked for the woman, he worked for then I thought I can do this for myself, I'm a Conway. I don't mean that arrogance it's going back to my mom giving us that strength that, you believe in yourself it will happen you know. I went and it's actually too long of a story, but I met a woman who hired the woman I was working for to walk her dogs. Her name was Nicole.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">06abe482142f4173991c8b826383cc96</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 Aug 2019 15:05:11 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/18836013/podcastrockbms.mp3" length="74822009" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Brooklyn Made Real Estate Show</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What am I going to give in return, aside from the love for your dog and the caring.

Walk in the streets of Brooklyn or any urban area you know you have to really be a detective. It's not just looking ahead and watching out for dogs, you gotta watch the sidewalks, the glass. Storefronts have good hearts and they leave out waterfalls in the summer. I will not let any of my dogs drink out of that. [01:00] Suzanne: Welcome to the Brooklyn made show I am Suzanne Lin. Today we're gonna be talking to a guy that well he just kind of rocks. His name is rock, Rocky Conway and he is a dog walker. [02:02] He's the owner for New York Dogs Rock in the Dumbo area. If you think it's just about walking dogs and it's an easy task and there's not a lot of skill to it, you are gonna want to stick around. Because Rocky has got a fascinating story about how he got into it. You're gonna hear his heart and his love of dogs, so let's just jump right into the show. Rock let's start off by talking about your love and passion for what you do and and how you got started? Rock: Absolutely, it started really with my mom getting me to be not so frightened around our superintendent's dog. His name was Russ, he was a cutie. So, she had me threatening to go over and had him and whatnot. But I basically would hide behind her. Suzanne: Yeah. Rock: Oddly enough a few years later, I ended up becoming his dog walker though there's no such thing as a dog walker in those days you know. [03:00] For 25 cents a trip which was a lot of money in 1966. From there, I know what I don't think I would have really remembered the story so clearly if I had not become the dog walker you know so many years later. Suzanne:Was your mom, she wanted to make sure you weren't afraid and she also had a love for animals clearly? Rock: She had a love for animals. Yes, we had a lot of alley cats in those days and because there was Mrs. Conway, but chucking the cooked food to the kitties. You know the trick and hearts and stuff like that. It all comes to the window and just understanding the rapport between people and animals. She was a very strong person but more so she, in this case, she was being supported with me as a child, which she did to my three older siblings. She was fantastic in that way. Suzanne: What a great inspiration, I mean we're recording this right the day before Mother's Day. You're kind of making me tear up, thinking about the love you have for your mom and what a huge influence here you know decades later. [04:00] Tell me about your business? Rock: The business is, it's a modest-sized dog-walking company and we're out sounding all corporate America. I am trying to expand so this way ironically I'll have more free time and I'll be able to run it better you know. As I say run it better it's being run to the max and my clients who actually are customers, they're not better words are so formal. I just won't be so consumed because what goes into it is promotions as well as the physical and psychological manifestation. They're taking care of the dogs you know they're like pills and I look at them for my being a 6-month-old baby to maybe a 10-year-old. You know you have to understand a lot of nurture and goes into this. Without sounding when I say psychology that it comes out of a textbook. I mean really understanding and that comes through love and being sincere. They all have their own personalities. Suzanne: Wow, I love the fact that you understand each dog is so different. [05:01] I mean you have a special relationship with each one. Rock: Yes, but as we know again it is a business that if you lose sight of that you'll find yourself out of business. This is why I buy offer packages; you know introductory, reduced fees for like when they first start walking with us for two to four weeks. If they use, they need multiple walks a day then they get at least a 5 percent discount, which just means that 20th walk is free. Suzanne: Okay.

This month’s roundup shows a New York City real estate market that just keeps marching on. It’s rebuilding and reinventing itself every day. Rent regulations are shaking things up, but perhaps not in an ideal way for those who were hoping for rents to go down or stay low. Retail is changing, but new industries and models are popping up and rents remain high. Billions of dollars are still being plowed into the local market and investment properties. While there are still potential corrections and adjustments to be made in the property market, most of the talk of a downturn appears to have subsided. Transactions seeming to show new confidence in this strong market as the status quo for the foreseeable future. Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable news this month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines… Landlords are scrambling to deal with and get ahead of rent control regulations. Many see little common sense in the way regulations are going, and that may not change. Some are trying to sue against new regulations. Others are getting more creative. In response to the new rules Blackstone has stunningly pulled back from plans to continue to renovate the 100 building, 11,000 rental unit complex it bought on the  Lower East Side for $5.3B. The giant firm is reportedly looking at other options for the properties in its portfolio, such as converting to condos instead of maintaining rentals. Other landlords are re-evaluating their options due to rules which prevent taking more than one month of  security deposit. Such as stopping renting to international students. Others are looking at insurance products to cover the gaps in risk. Then you have new models which are moving to charge for a ‘membership’ to live in shared homes instead of traditional leasing. Models like  Haven will cram 20 people into a house, four to a room and charge around $1,000 a month. Others offer pod share arrangements. After several years of incredible growth, other companies who have been modernizing the industry are choosing to cash out. Airbnb is looking for an IPO exit.  WeWork is planning a $3.5B IPO in September 2019. A very, very modest sum given recent efforts to secure a $6B line of credit, and previous valuation of $47B.  On the bright side,  Amazon is very much interested in taking over the real estate industry. It’s a new partnership with  Realogy and its subsidiary companies like Sotheby’s creates a new giant on the landscape, and plenty of perks for those using the site. While the market seemed to be struggling to find its footing for a moment, and there is still some adjusting needed to modernize and adapt for today’s consumers we appear to be in a new norm with low interest rates and very high interest in investing in real estate. Success seems to be all about marketing and pricing it right, and tailoring with the right end consumer in mind. This is evidenced by new sales records being set.  Content marketing is a big part of this, with on landlord crediting a single blog post for quardupaling its leased space on Park Avenue. Meanwhile, in other big news, the  largest demolition in New York City history is about to get underway on Park Avenue in Midtown East.   For Brooklyn Real Estate News As tax authorities continue to raise taxes, deplete breaks and elevate assessments, some are finding relief in flexing their right to appeal. The latest data shows Brooklynites saved $57M in annual property taxes in 2017 by challenging their assessments. This is something everyone can do, and often helps create a lot of extra value and cash flow. Developers are also continuing to gain millions in tax breaks to renovate and construct. Especially when their projects create new housing or save jobs.  After pulling out of Queens, Amazon seems to have its sights on now coming to Brooklyn. Jeff Bezos is reportedly still evaluating several sites for a new 1 million square foot lease to house a new logistics facility in the borough. While some old school retailers are battling with resizing and relocating, the booming weed business seems to be snapping up some of the voids. Williamsburg is to be the latest beneficiary of a new  marijuana dispensary in a space asking for $200 a square foot in rents. It is the 4 NY location for Remedy.  Hot London based  co-living company The Collective is also expanding in NYC with a new hotel and apartment building in WIlliamsburg. ODA has been announced as the architect. THe Collective is also currently working on a project in Bed Stuy.   In other boroughs A group of residents in one  Chelsea condominium building have become proactive about protecting their views of the Empire State Building by purchasing $11M in air rights. It will be interesting to see how this trend plays out.  Famous actor  Robert De Niro is planning to build his own 600,000 square foot production studio in Astoria at a cost of around $425M. The new studio will sit on a Steinway piano manufacturing site that is being purchased for $73M. In the first half of 2019, just over $14B of Manhattan investment properties traded hands. Adding to the sales in the second half of the year is an almost $200M lower  Manhattan office building sale, by the Rudin family who need to cover estate taxes owed. A powerful reminder to get a strong head start on estate planning.   In other notable sales, Maya Angelou’s former  Harlem brownstone has finally sold after a year and a half for $2.3M. She purchased the investment property in 2001 for just $275,000. Her own home also recently sold for $4M.   In conclusion... This month’s New York real estate news roundup is overall very positive again. There appears to be no shortage of capital or demand for well priced and well marketed properties. Developers are still vying for titles to building the best and tallest buildings. Records are still being set. There is bound to be some substantial turmoil over new rent regulations. Those voting for them may ultimately unfortunately  find the rulings extremely counter productive. Smart owners and landlords are rushing to find ways to adapt and take leasing into the future with new models. Well, that’s it for this month’s roundup.

It was truly hubris and naiveté that got this place going because anybody who knew what they were doing would not have. [00:01:45] Hi, I am Suzanne Lynn and this is the Brooklyn made show, and today we are going to talk with Ashley Albert of Royal Palms shuffleboard. It started out in Brooklyn and it's expanded into Chicago, but if you think the game of shuffleboard is only for old people, well hold tight because Ashley is going to make you think again. Royal Palms it's a cool combination of gaming and a bar and a hangout, it's all fun all wrapped up together. Ashley and her partner are trailblazers, and I cannot wait to jump in and get chatting with her. So grab your virtual shuffleboard stick because Ashley is on deck, tell us about yourself. [00:02:26] Yes, so I am the co-owner of the Royal Palms shuffleboard club, and that is a giant vintage Florida's gamed shuffleboard bar. I have one in New York and I have one in Chicago, and I'm working on building a couple more. And it is like the very first nightclub shuffleboard bar, so it sort of looks like a bowling alley but it's vintage deck shuffleboard, like cruise ship style shuffleboard. [00:02:57] That is fascinating, that's cool. How did you come up with this idea? [00:03:01] So my business partner, he's one of my best friends and my holiday gift to him in 2011 was to become certified barbecue judges. So I flew us down to Florida to get our meet certification, it happens all over the world but it just so happened that the one that we picked was in Florida and I'm from Miami, I grew up there. So we went to the middle of nowhere Central Florida, and while we were there he said I won Florida we've got to play shuffleboard, he remembered playing with his grandparents at century village in Palm Beach when he was a kid. And so we did some research and we found the world's largest shuffleboard club in St. Petersburg Florida, and on a lark, we rented a convertible and we drove the three hours to go to St. Petersburg and play this a city-owned Municipal Park. And it turned out that once a month, like a handful of St. Petersburg hipsters would get together and play on these yawns courts, and they happen to be there the day that we were there. And they shared their beer with us, and they taught us how to play, and they were playing music and we were like this is the coolest thing ever and this was still in Brooklyn. But we both had great jobs, we weren't looking for a new job I was doing voiceover living my life of leisure, and we came back up to New York just for fun, mostly pretending because we didn't think we were going to find a space big enough and affordable enough and then a good enough location in New York to do this. We were just on the weekend go look at real estate, you know just pretending that we were interested in opening a shuffleboard Club and we walked into our space and I turned to Jonathan my business partner and I said okay, if we're serious about this we have to take this space, that if we don't take this space then we know we're not serious about this. Like this is how we know whether we're kidding or not, because this space at this price in this location is just not going to be here if in three months. And we go you know what maybe we should open a shuffleboard Club, and we didn't have a business plan or any money raised or anything, and we just plunked our life savings down on the deposit for the lease, and then we scrambled about raising many millions of dollars, it's a 20,000 square foot space. So we only said that if we understood how much risk we were taking when we started, we probably never would have done. It was truly hubris and naiveté that got this place going because anybody who knew what they were doing would not have done it this way. [00:05:37] What a story, I mean you make people dream like this can happen. [00:05:42] Yes. [00:05:43] I mean shuffleboard in New York, so how popular is it? [00:05:46] It's wildly popular, it's crazy you know I think we know it was a good idea, you know I get invited on the panels and stuff to talk about risk and I think I am good at taking risks, but I'm also super cautious. I think I'm only taking risks that in my mind are not risky, and so I think we thought it was a good idea, and we people would like it, but I don't think we would never be in the hospitality before, I don't think we realized how hard of an industry it was and how lucky. And we do understand how lucky we've got, it's a different club on different nights so on Monday and Tuesday's we have leagues, and we have a hundred and twenty teams in our league in both cities, so about a thousand people playing between Monday and Tuesday night in each place. And then Wednesdays and Thursdays we do a lot of corporate events things like that, and then Fridays and Saturdays it is a big bump and night club, it's like five hour way to entertain and there I never I bat fully out of the building too old and not cool enough to be at my club on the weekend. And then Sunday's all of our league members get to play for free all week, and they know better than to come on the weekends. So usually on Sundays a lot of regulars who are there practicing and a lot of locals you know drinking Bloody Mary’s and listening to reggae, and that's probably I love going to leak nights and Sunday nights are also pretty fantastic. [00:07:17] So you've intrigued me, I want to know more about Friday and Saturday nights, I mean this is a bar where you can play shuffleboard. Actually, it's a good question, is it a bar where you can play shuffleboard or is it shuffleboard where you can get a drink? [00:07:29] That's funny, so that's why we needed such a big building because we were like we don't want to be a bar that has shuffleboard, we want to be a shuffleboard club that has a bar and shuffleboard courts are six feet by 60 feet, it is a ludicrous waste of real estate. So we have ten regulation-sized courts in New York and Chicago, and Chicago I also have one on the roof and you know what's great about it is it's this giant space, and someone told me once well you built a bar for introverts. I'm not much of a drinker and I never got to hang up going to bar, so it's ridiculous that I own this giant you know crowded nightclub. But because there's all this space in the middle of it that's not used, it never feels crazy packed and uncomfortable in there. And because it's so big there's like little things to do in every area, you know we have board games and there could be someone in the corner playing Settlers of Cathan for three hours, while somebody's on the other side dancing to the DJ, well somebody's getting food from the food truck like you can kind of choose your own adventure there which I think is really cool. [00:08:46] How do you get a business plan from going from Florida to this humongous conglomerate that you've got running now, I mean you must have an amazing team. [00:08:56] So the business plan itself it's a funny thing because obviously we didn't know anything about any of this and it was like okay well we have to raise money, we don't know how much money to raise, you know really we were smart enough at that point to ask anyone who would make eye contact with us to go to coffee, and we would just sit down with anybody from you know a restaurant owner to the person who was a napkin distributor, to someone who made whiskey to anybody who would talk to us we would talk to them. And so we really kind of collated a bunch of information that way, and then we borrowed someone else's business plan from a totally different industry, I don't even remember whose it was. But we just took what the subjects were, like what goes into a business I'm like okay so in one section we need to talk about the neighborhood, and then in one section we need to talk about our competition, and in once section we needed to talk about the problem we're solving and so we just figured out what went into a business plan and then we wrote it. But we wrote it very flowery and transported and we had colored pictures and images and funny things, and you know it wasn't this staid, professional business plan but as a result it really imparted and evoke the sort of transported feeling we were trying to explain about what we were hoping to do with the club. And the mayor's office in New York City told me that it was the second-best business plan they had ever read, and I was like huh really wat was the first business plan? [00:10:37] We talked about where you are on personality, I'm pretty sure you're an achiever just by that statement, I'm going to go with achiever, yes. [00:10:46] I think that yes you're probably right, I think I mentioned that I have under lead singer this children stand and we met with great success but it was never quite enough. Someone said to me what why is it that unless you become the Beatles you will not experience this as being successful, and people ask me all the time you know with the club like oh my gosh are you just so happy, I mean it's just crazy and I'm like no I'm not happy, I'm Jewish. Like are you kidding, I'm waiting for it to be over I will be happy when we turn the keys back in and we walk away and nobody died, and we lived through it and it didn't run down, and we didn't get sued, once it's over I can go huh that went okay. [00:11:36] But you were planning to expand, because you're fearless, so whatever you say I believe it's going to be done plus. [00:11:44] Yes, you know I'm single, I'm in my forties, I spend all my money on my dog and he's got everything he needs, the kids got everything they need, they do not need any more toys or food or anything. So at some point you're like what is it that's moving me to do this]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">e0b2c10bd47d406997f98e278403b99c</guid><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jul 2019 12:06:06 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/18684172/interview_with_ashley_albert_from_royal_palms_shuffle.mp3" length="72906580" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Brooklyn Made Real Estate Show</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>The Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club.        Your home for biscuits, tangs and all-around fun with your troop.       [00:00:00] We always say that if we understood how much risk we were taking when we started, probably never would have done it.

It was truly hubris and naiveté that got this place going because anybody who knew what they were doing would not have. [00:01:45] Hi, I am Suzanne Lynn and this is the Brooklyn made show, and today we are going to talk with Ashley Albert of Royal Palms shuffleboard. It started out in Brooklyn and it's expanded into Chicago, but if you think the game of shuffleboard is only for old people, well hold tight because Ashley is going to make you think again. Royal Palms it's a cool combination of gaming and a bar and a hangout, it's all fun all wrapped up together. Ashley and her partner are trailblazers, and I cannot wait to jump in and get chatting with her. So grab your virtual shuffleboard stick because Ashley is on deck, tell us about yourself. [00:02:26] Yes, so I am the co-owner of the Royal Palms shuffleboard club, and that is a giant vintage Florida's gamed shuffleboard bar. I have one in New York and I have one in Chicago, and I'm working on building a couple more. And it is like the very first nightclub shuffleboard bar, so it sort of looks like a bowling alley but it's vintage deck shuffleboard, like cruise ship style shuffleboard. [00:02:57] That is fascinating, that's cool. How did you come up with this idea? [00:03:01] So my business partner, he's one of my best friends and my holiday gift to him in 2011 was to become certified barbecue judges. So I flew us down to Florida to get our meet certification, it happens all over the world but it just so happened that the one that we picked was in Florida and I'm from Miami, I grew up there. So we went to the middle of nowhere Central Florida, and while we were there he said I won Florida we've got to play shuffleboard, he remembered playing with his grandparents at century village in Palm Beach when he was a kid. And so we did some research and we found the world's largest shuffleboard club in St. Petersburg Florida, and on a lark, we rented a convertible and we drove the three hours to go to St. Petersburg and play this a city-owned Municipal Park. And it turned out that once a month, like a handful of St. Petersburg hipsters would get together and play on these yawns courts, and they happen to be there the day that we were there. And they shared their beer with us, and they taught us how to play, and they were playing music and we were like this is the coolest thing ever and this was still in Brooklyn. But we both had great jobs, we weren't looking for a new job I was doing voiceover living my life of leisure, and we came back up to New York just for fun, mostly pretending because we didn't think we were going to find a space big enough and affordable enough and then a good enough location in New York to do this. We were just on the weekend go look at real estate, you know just pretending that we were interested in opening a shuffleboard Club and we walked into our space and I turned to Jonathan my business partner and I said okay, if we're serious about this we have to take this space, that if we don't take this space then we know we're not serious about this. Like this is how we know whether we're kidding or not, because this space at this price in this location is just not going to be here if in three months. And we go you know what maybe we should open a shuffleboard Club, and we didn't have a business plan or any money raised or anything, and we just plunked our life savings down on the deposit for the lease, and then we scrambled about raising many millions of dollars, it's a 20,000 square foot space. So we only said that if we understood how much risk we were taking when we started, we probably never would have done. It was truly hubris and naiveté that got this place going because anybody who knew what they were doing...]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1823</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>league,club,royal,brooklyn,hipsters,project,jewish,ashley,palms,skills,european,athletic,albert,passover,members,shuffleboard,matzah,matzo</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/fc95bb591c28dab37631596b0c14b189.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><googleplay:author>Brooklyn Made Real Estate Show</googleplay:author><googleplay:description>The Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club.        Your home for biscuits, tangs and all-around fun with your troop.       [00:00:00] We always say that if we understood how much risk we were taking when we started, probably never would have done it.

This month’s roundup shows an ongoing NYC building boom, with skyscrapers reaching even higher. In the background, the rent control regulation debate is still sizzling hot and could have a sizable impact on the future of commercial real estate throughout New York’s boroughs. Yet, billions are still being plowed into the real estate investment market, and a nonstop chain of towers are still filing for permits, breaking ground and opening up sales. While there are still potential cracks and flaws in the property market, which could be opened by new regulations, most of the talk of a downturn appears to have subsided, with public opinion and transactions seeming to show new confidence in this strong market as the status quo for the foreseeable future. Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable news this month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines…  NYC land prices continue to rise. While condo sales, retail, and Manhattan, in particular, continue to find their footing, land in Brooklyn has been trading at 6.5% more than in 2018, at $278 per buildable square foot. Laguardia airport’s  new concourse is set to open this fall. Delta has already invested $4B in the project. 7 of the new gates will open later this year, with a total of 37 planned.  Last month we reported on Google’s continued high level investment in NYC. This month is it  Facebook making moves. The social networking giant who is working on its own digital currency is reportedly looking to ink a new lease a Hudson Yards. Once closed Amazon may be the only tech giant now really missing out on the new surge in expanding here. The billionaires at One57 are getting some new neighbors, and not everyone is happy about it. A  new homeless shelter right behind the famous building which has been setting sales records and sits on Billionaire’s Row. The shelter is to be located in the old Park Savoy hotel, and is expected to house at least 140 people. The old Hells Angels clubhouse in the  East Village is getting new residents too. A new $10M flip is preparing a conversion into condos which will rent from $3,500 a month. Of course, the big news of the month is the new The Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019. These new harsh and sweeping  rent controls threaten to severely hamper landlords’ ability to raise rents. Even when units become vacant or are given substantial makeovers. Obviously, landlords groups are fighting to sue back. If they are unsuccessful, some worry the new rules will turn off lenders and financial conduits who won’t want to take the collateral. This year also marks the first ever Central Park  squirrel census, which counted over 3,000 of these furry friends living in the heart of NYC. If you’re still commuting and doing business in the city  Google Maps’ latest updates hopes to help you predict just how crowded your bus or subway ride will be.    Fannie Mae says there is still no lack of demand for housing in the US, and that a tightening of lending is designed to help reduce that demand in order to better match the tight supply of available housing to buy. This appears to especially be a challenge for first time home buyer.   New data forecasts a continued short fall of almost half a million new homes to keep up with demand each year. Especially for lower end priced units.  Zillow’s director of economic research says that we’ll have to get used to paying out an even greater share of our income for housing.   Even inf the industrial sector, there appears to be no lack of demand. According to JLL research “Global industrial close-ended fundraising has tallied a five year average of $94.4B, nearly double the 2004-2013 average of $49.7B. Global annualized average oversubscription for industrial-focused close-ended funds was $16.3B 2013-2018, with U.S.-based industrial funds tallying a annualized average of $10.2B oversubscription in the same period.”   For Brooklyn Real Estate News In an effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 20%,  Park Slope is planning 6 new curbside electric vehicle charging stations. Each will be able to charge two vehicles at a time. An initiative that will perhaps finally help more locals find it viable to switch to cleaner rides. Sadly, Brooklyn borough’s president has warned of ongoing title  deed schemes and fraud that have been plaguing the area and forcing long term owners from their homes. A great reminder to get title insurance and always retain a reputable real estate attorney. Governor Cuomo just attended the groundbreaking of a new apartment complex in downtown Brooklyn. The 129  Nevins Street Apartments are a $72M redevelopment and new 10 story tower aimed at housing low income residents, the formerly homeless, and those with mental health and substance abuse challenges. Before the summer is over, make sure you grab a blanket and head out to one of Brooklyn’s  outdoor movie venues. Films will be playing at Prospect Park, Fort Greene, Narrows Botanical Gardens, Brooklyn Bridge Park and McCarren Park.   In other boroughs  In Manhattan, two  432 Park Avenue condos just sold for $61M. Though it’s worth noting that penthouse #94 sold for almost a $10M discount from the listing price, or 25% under what was being asked. Two developers turned their eyes to  the Bronx last month, partnering up on a $76M deal to convert 400 units back to affordable housing.  JP Morgan has officially pulled permits for its new building. Though has dramatically downside the final height to just 1,322 feet, taking it out of the running for the tallest building in the city by roof height. All while  350 Park Avenuebuilding plans have been unveiled for a new 1,500 foot supertall.   In conclusion... This month’s New York real estate news roundup is positive overall. There appears no shortage of capital or demand for well priced properties. Developers are still vying for titles to building the best and tallest buildings. Though there does seem to be more focus on the low income and affordable housing end of the market, and taking better care of all New Yorkers.   Well, that’s it for this month’s roundup.

Whether you already own or you’re looking to buy into the City’s most fashionable market, we’ll keep you up to date, so you can make the smartest moves.  You’re listening to New York’s Real Estate Market Update from the Ratner Team. Home of the Nets and 2.6 million other New Yorkers, Brooklyn’s multifamily market has been on the rise since the second quarter last year. Brooklyn’s Multifamily market declined a big 34% percent from 2017’s first quarter. With sales volume this quarter coming out a bit low at $885M. Yet, there is a great value to be found, with square-footage prices decreasing by 1% percent from last year’s quarter. Now standing at $401 dollars on average. Average selling prices went down to just$370,000 per unit –a difference of 1% percent from this time last year. Total transactions slowed down by 13% percent to 390 in 2019’s 1stquarter.   The Multifamily market is trending progressively higher during this time of year for the past several years. Brooklyn’s top sales are still numbers to marvel at. The top sale recorded in the first quarter of 2019 can be found in Williamsburg: 395 Leonard Street sold for $130,442,381 in February. At a $698 a foot.  Even at that high price, however, it doesn’t garner many square feet in the most opulent neighborhood of Brooklyn. The top ten most expensive neighborhoods this quarter were as follows: Park Slope, with its townhouses, brownstones & beautiful parks, tops the list at an average of $853 per square foot. Fort Greene comes in second at $820. With Clinton Hill coming in third at $665. Carroll Gardens comes next at $646 per square foot. Followed by Williamsburg at $626, Gowanus at $564, Greenpoint at $538, Kensington at $495, Dyker Heights at $495 and, tenth but certainly not least, the Prospect Heights area averaged in at $490 per square foot. Bed-Stuy was the winner for the highest volume of Multifamily sales this quarter again at 45 total sales. East New York was the same at 45 sales. Bargain hunters check out Brownsville attractive average price per square foot, at just $218.

He believes that by helping them to make an effort to inform, educate, equip, engage, and inspire their customers they’d create a community of customers or clientele. I further explain the peeks of content marketing and how it involves providing anything that is just basically written, like articles, email, newsletters, social media posts, case studies, e-books, videos, brochures or things of that nature. He basically explains that business that engages in content marketing boils down to them thinking like a marketer, in terms of just going after it, care about the experience you're creating, build relationships, treat people well, connect people and thus not just thinking like a brand but becoming. Because by using the resources you're given and the success you’ve earned to keep feeding the machine and separating yourself from the pack]   [00:01:49] Hi, I'm Suzanne Lynn and welcome to the Brooklyn made show. Now you may have heard the term content marketing being thrown around and you kind of wonder what it is, maybe you summarize. that it could mean sharing information about your business or organization you would mostly be right, but it's actually about so much more than that, it's really a way to have a voice and a conversation with people around the world digitally but there's no point in me going on about it because we've got a real expert, His name is Daniel Gordon and he's doing some tremendous things for his clients in the content marketing arena. So let's dive right in. All right, well Daniel I'm going to start out with what exactly content marketing is? I mean when I think about content marketing is like this gigantic universe of information and I don't exactly know what your world, you're part of that is.  [00:02:43] Yeah, yeah it's truly vast and nebulous, so content marketing boils down to truly caring about your audience and building a relationship with them. So it's making the same effort to inform, educate equip, engage, and inspire that you do to sell. So the way you do that tactically is by creating online content around your products and services. So I think articles, email, newsletters, social media posts, case studies, e-books, videos, brochures, things of that nature. You'll find varying definitions of what's considered content marketing and overlapping terms like Inbound Marketing, digital marketing, that's content used for online marketing, you can go ahead and call it Content Marketing, don't worry about it. Even your traditional marketing collateral like sell sheets and flyers can be repackaged or repurpose for content marketing. [00:03:42] Because it's got the information but it's the way you're presenting it to people that it's content marketing? [00:03:47] Exactly. [00:03:38] I got it, I got it. So what is the foundation of your business? Is it based on heavy blogs or web design, as a client what would I be coming to you for? [00:04:05] Basically anything written, so again all those things I mentioned, they all have one thing in common which is written content. So if it's… I'd naturally get a lot of business for Blogs because that's really the foundation of it all and the web site concept and e-mail blasts and we'll probably get into how these things intertwine and bounce off of other as we go through the conversations.  [00:04:34] I would love that because I really want to understand more but I've got a good idea of what it is that you're doing. I want to how did you get into this and how are you able to turn probably something as a good writer that you enjoy doing into a business. [00:04:47] Yeah-yeah I had to sell out a little. [00:04:50]This is juicy stuff, turn the radio up, that's right. [00:04:58] Yeah-yeah, so my background is in journalism and I always grew up writing when I was little all I cared about was writing and basketball. It’s all I wanted to do, I actually started… like around high school I started writing songs, which led me to a brief stint in the music industry, I was managing producers and songwriters, trying to get my own stuff noticed of course but that never quite hit as a career, definitely wasn't going to be prosperous. So I got a job in marketing as a copywriter, from there I took right to it ended up moving onto a marketing agency and I couldn't get enough of it, so I started taking freelance work on the side.  My 1st marketing job was actually still a client to this day about 6 years later. Yeah-yeah, it is hopefully a testament to how I do things and I at least believe that. So eventually I had enough freelance work to think I might be able to approach my salary that I had at the marketing agency which wasn't very high, so I took the leap it was very calculated, methodical, strategic, I talked to my family, talked to mentors they all supported him believed, so I knew the demand for writing was really high too, thanks to content marketing and the timing was right, so I was ready to go all in. [00:06:25] Were you scared? [00:06:28] Not necessarily scared, I think it's a huge risk right here, putting your life on the line in a sense again I thought I had everything in place and all you can really do is try to put yourself in a position to succeed and put something valuable out into the world and I thought I had that and that was really all there was to it. [00:06:55] So basically you just tried to mitigate you know how bad worst case scenario can be but you know what I love about this and I'm getting so excited is hearing you bet on yourself, you didn't stay in a job that you felt like well I'm always going to need the security of a paycheck and you know I just bloom as much as I can under someone else, you went for it. [00:07:19] That makes me so happy that you said that phrase because I tell people all the time you know really what a lot of these decisions come down to for life in business is betting on yourself and the way I put it is if I’m going to bet on myself every day, so what am I even doing? so not necessarily a coincidence that you phrase it that way, love it. [00:07:42] I just love, that’s amazing. Ok so I want to talk more about the positive things but is there anything that you struggle with as a freelancer? Is there any advice you've got OK we know to mitigate worst case scenario prepare yourself and I love the fact that you say you had mentors, you didn't just try to do this on your own you were very strategic and tactical. What is one piece of advice that you would give people that maybe you didn't see coming? [00:08:13] I think all the things that you're going to expect to be challenges, all the things that you read on you know article and managing your time and getting clients and running the books and all that those aren't going to be the things that become challenges. It really boils down to just running like a business and for me honestly, I've been fortunate, the biggest challenge has been managing growth and making sure I'm getting new clients and you know taking care of people who I have while I'm at it. I'll tell you a little story that kind of puts this in perspective in terms of just like go, keep going and don't worry about all the things that you think are going to be challenged. So when I said leaving my job was calculated, part of that was I had been generating freelance leads for weeks and months prior, so my 1st day as a freelancer, I woke up I started checking my email in bed as we all do nowadays, first thing when we open our eyes.  I was laying there and the 1st thing I see now is my 1st-day freelancing, so the sun comes up is an email saying thank you for your interest in such and such we regret to inform you that you don't get this gig, it was a huge company. And a gig that I was thinking I was going to get and be like wow, I’m really hitting the ground running here, I didn't and luckily that wasn't the trend and one of the few times that's happened but the reason I tell that story is to put it in perspective like just you can't let anyone single thing build and turn into a big thing, you just have to have that mentality where you keep going and nothing's going to stop you.  [00:10:11] You know the day is going to end and there's going to be a new day a new opportunity. [00:10:18] Yeah, I love telling that story. [00:10:20] So I want to know how can a smaller mid-sized business build a content strategy you know said to come to us like Daniel, we have a lot of information, we just don't know how to get it out there, how can we partner? [00:10:36] Yes, that’s a good question. So 1st you need to have a brand strategy. So you need to know who you are, who you're not, who are your audiences, who they're, not what your tone of voice is, what it's not and all of that. So a little bit of soul searching and the reason is that your brand identity helps you understand what type of content you want to create. So if my audience is very professional and my voice is sincere, I'm not going to be on Facebook posting my morning latte art or whatever coffee I've got, I'm probably going to be on LinkedIn posting my morning motivation and some snippet of business advice. [00:11:18] So you have to be consistent with who you are?  [00:11:22] Yeah-yeah, otherwise you're just going to go with whatever the buzz is or whatever someone is in your ear about. So you really start with that, like I said soul searching. Once you have that budget obviously becomes a factor right, so the good news is you don't have to spend stupid money and you definitely don't need to spend it on software or tools, this is a concept marketing is a human thing, humans talking to humans. So where a lot of people go wrong with budgeting is like I kind of mentioned spending it all in one area from a business owner and I see Instagram has all the buzz, it's all I see or hear an]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">e011831bc8244c13a8bf793601ddf427</guid><pubDate>Thu, 27 Jun 2019 01:17:43 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/18392809/podcastdanielgordon.mp3" length="71147862" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Brooklyn Made Real Estate Show</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Podcast Daniel Gordon   Daniel Gordon is the founder of a content marketing organization that helps brands that truly cares about their audience in building a relationship with their customer.

I further explain the peeks of content marketing and how it involves providing anything that is just basically written, like articles, email, newsletters, social media posts, case studies, e-books, videos, brochures or things of that nature.

Now you may have heard the term content marketing being thrown around and you kind of wonder what it is, maybe you summarize. that it could mean sharing information about your business or organization you would mostly be right, but it's actually about so much more than that, it's really a way to have a voice and a conversation with people around the world digitally but there's no point in me going on about it because we've got a real expert, His name is Daniel Gordon and he's doing some tremendous things for his clients in the content marketing arena. So let's dive right in. All right, well Daniel I'm going to start out with what exactly content marketing is? I mean when I think about content marketing is like this gigantic universe of information and I don't exactly know what your world, you're part of that is.  [00:02:43] Yeah, yeah it's truly vast and nebulous, so content marketing boils down to truly caring about your audience and building a relationship with them. So it's making the same effort to inform, educate equip, engage, and inspire that you do to sell. So the way you do that tactically is by creating online content around your products and services. So I think articles, email, newsletters, social media posts, case studies, e-books, videos, brochures, things of that nature. You'll find varying definitions of what's considered content marketing and overlapping terms like Inbound Marketing, digital marketing, that's content used for online marketing, you can go ahead and call it Content Marketing, don't worry about it. Even your traditional marketing collateral like sell sheets and flyers can be repackaged or repurpose for content marketing. [00:03:42] Because it's got the information but it's the way you're presenting it to people that it's content marketing? [00:03:47] Exactly. [00:03:38] I got it, I got it. So what is the foundation of your business? Is it based on heavy blogs or web design, as a client what would I be coming to you for? [00:04:05] Basically anything written, so again all those things I mentioned, they all have one thing in common which is written content. So if it's… I'd naturally get a lot of business for Blogs because that's really the foundation of it all and the web site concept and e-mail blasts and we'll probably get into how these things intertwine and bounce off of other as we go through the conversations.  [00:04:34] I would love that because I really want to understand more but I've got a good idea of what it is that you're doing. I want to how did you get into this and how are you able to turn probably something as a good writer that you enjoy doing into a business. [00:04:47] Yeah-yeah I had to sell out a little.

You’re listening to New York’s Real Estate Market Update from the Ratner Team. In this Brooklyn report, we cover the average residential sales in this sprawling borough of historic brownstones, row houses, and exciting new developments. Keep listening for the record-high sales of this quarter. Residential average sales prices for Q1 2019 in Brooklyn are bit lower compared to last year’s report, with a 1.8% percent decrease over 2018. Median sale prices fell to $964,324,000. And this quarter, we saw a decrease of 8.1% percent in the number of transactions. Totaling 2,216 in Q1, 2019 compared to 2,474 in Q1, 2018. New Development Condo sales in this 1st quarter sold for an average of $1,058,287 at an average of $984 dollars per foot. That’s in contrast to $1,173 per square foot last year. This was a 16.1% percent decrease in price per foot from the same quarter last year when the average sale price was $1,324,707. The average sales price of new condos saw a decline of 20.1%. According to this quarter’s data, these properties are spending a bit more time on the market: this year. It took an average of 107 days to sell a new development property, versus 104 days in Q1, 2018. Existing condo sales prices are on a slight decline as well. The average condo sales price in the first quarter of 2019 was $1,000,769. A dip from $1,045,015 last year. And a 4.2% percent decline from the first quarter last year. The average marketing time for these properties increased: 102 days on market this year, versus 90 days in Q1, 2018. Co-op sales prices increased this quarter. Selling at an average price of $595,819 dollars—an increase of 3.5% percent from last year’s $575,917 dollars. Selling time has also increased: co-ops sat on the market for 81 days in quarter 1, as opposed to 79 days in the same quarter last year.  1-3 unit family homes performed about the same, with a very small increase in price and an increase in marketing time. This quarter, the average 1-3 family home sale price was $1,107,993, up 0.1% percent from $1,106,656 last year. Houses also sold in 20 more days. Properties, on average, were on the market for 100 days, versus 80 days last year. The data shows that 1-3 family homes under $1,500,000 are still in high demand! In the Luxury Market this quarter, the average luxury property sales price was $2,724,093 That’s a slight decrease. Down 2.3% percent from last year. These properties also took longer to sell, being on the market for an average of 105 days, versus 103 last year. Across the board, the average recorded price discount was 0.6% percent. Yet, it is important to note that at least homes are still rising in demand and value.   Now, to Brooklyn’s top residential sales in Q1 2019: The top single-family sale in Brooklyn in Q1 2019 can be found in Williamsburg. The selling price of 138 North First was an incredible $5,250,000 – about $1,400 dollars per square foot. This rare 25-foot wide, brand new constructed townhouse in the heart of Williamsburg is unlike any other. Designed for comfort, but aesthetically impressive with state-of-the-art technological adaptations and grand spaces. This magnificent 4,700-square foot, super-quiet home features herringbone-patterned pine floors throughout, hand-hewn structural beams from the iconic Domino Sugar Factory, with wood that can’t be found anywhere else in the world except the Whitney Museum of Art. Dumbo took the top condo sale of the quarter. 51 Jay St Penthouse A sold for $4,709,915. This duplex penthouse commands stunning views across DUMBO with north, south, east and west exposures. The three separate multi-level terraces provide a total of 1,388 square of private outdoor space. The herringbone-patterned floors are smoked, wire brushed oak. The kitchen's custom wood cabinetry by Aster Cucine features antiqued details and stainless steel hardware. La Rochelle Gris marble slab countertops and basalt porcelain tile beautifully finish the space. The Gaggenau appliance package includes electric convection oven and gas cooktop with 6 burners, refrigerator/freezer, wine cooler, dishwasher, and microwave built-in drawer.   Park Slope took first place this quarter for co-op sales. Winning a record sale for the top co-op at $2,950,000. Located at 35 Prospect Park W #7C, in a full-service building, this classic six-bed home has a generous layout over 2,200 SF, original parquet floors and moldings, and other elegant original interior details intact. This apartment exudes warmth and sophistication and exemplifies the thoughtful combination of new with old. Enter into a gracious 23-foot long foyer leading to the south-facing 25-foot formal living room with sweeping views of Brooklyn, complete with a wood-burning fireplace encased by custom built-in shelving. The 21-foot formal dining room, accessible from the foyer through a set of glass doors or the kitchen, can easily accommodate entertaining on a grand scale and is cleverly configured with a second living area. The kitchen is fully complemented by a windowed breakfast area, Sub-Zero refrigerator, 48-inch Wolf range with warming oven and pot filler, full height Thermador wine fridge, Miele dishwasher, Italian cabinetry by Ceasar, Kallista nickel fixtures and original wall tile. For bargain territory, head to Canarsie & East New York. These least-expensive residential areas in Brooklyn had a median sale price of $527,500 for a single family home this quarter. As far as Brooklyn is concerned, that’s a steal. So, there are still deals out there. Some properties are still in high demand and rising. Others may be settling and could signal a good time to restructure portfolios.

You’re listening to New York’s Real Estate Market Update from the Ratner Team. Manhattan’s grandiose allure of culture, history, and business continues to hold an enviable position in the real estate world for buyers, owners and investors alike. Here’s the data. Just make sure you keep listening for this quarter’s record high sales. With an average selling price of $2,118,780, Manhattan’s Residential prices are continuing to increase over last year’s 1st quarter. Average price-per-square-foot rose again. This time by 4.2%,to $1,769 dollars, from $1,697 a foot in Q1 2018. This may always be one of the strongest global property markets, but today’s purchasers are getting less and less floor space for their buck. Total transactions tallied in at 2,121 this quarter. Down 2.7% percent, from a total of 2,180 sales in Q1 2018. We expect Manhattan to maintain this slow but steady pace at least till the end of Q2 2019. This is likely happening due to a combination of interest rates, new condo inventory in some areas, and a few other macro factors. On the bright side - the average selling price of new development condos rose 89.4% percent in this second quarter to $7,648,521. An absolute record so far!  That’s versus $4,038,067 in quarter 1 last year. The average time a new development condo spends on the market is up to around 246 days, compared to last year’s 213 days. The data for Manhattan’s existing condominium sales is almost as cheerful as new developments. These units saw a 25.1% percent increase from 2018. The average sale price for these properties ran around $3,347,929 in Q1 2019, compared to $2,676,281 dollars in 2018. However, the market time for existing condos has decreased by a few days, now averaging 116 days vs 131 in Q1 2019. Co-op sales fell 5.5% percent this quarter, recording an average sales price of $1,287,040. Market time increased fractionally as well, coming in at 90 days from 86 days this time last year. If you’re seeking a more stable market, co-ops continue to be worth a look. The luxury market is showing a big rebound, bringing very impressive numbers this quarter. The average selling price of a luxury Manhattan property was $10,120,384. An amazing rise of 27.4% from last year’s average of $8,974,737.Though luxury properties have actually been moving slower, being on the market for 184 days this quarter, compared to nearly 149 days in Q1 2018. Across the board, the average recorded price discount was just 1.4% percent.   Now for the top sales numbers for Q1 2019: The well-known neighborhood of Carnegie Hill topped Q1 2019, single-family residential sales. The most expensive unit was 25 wide, approximately 12,729 sq. ft. with 22 rooms, 9 bedrooms, 7 baths, 3 terraces, a garden, and soaring 13 ceilings. It’s one of the most beautiful spaces in Manhattan. Built in 1895, and located on a richly architected townhouse block off Fifth Avenue, adjacent to Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the important 6 story neo-classical limestone facade with beautiful gated garden forecourt, was designed by the architect, Henry Andersen, and inspired by the leading architectural firm of its time, McKim, Mead and White.  This townhouse was sold for $30,139,360, or a fantastic $4,106 per foot. In Central Midtown, the record condo sale for this quarter goes to the 1 Central Park South Penthouse. A true oasis above Central Park, this unparalleled penthouse recently underwent a meticulous, floor-to-ceiling renovation, taking many years to perfect.

So, what’s new in New York Real Estate? Let’s take a look at the numbers…  This quarter rents appear to have cooled slightly, with more inventory becoming available, and new office models expanding. Still, big players like Google and WeWork continue to be bullish on NYC real estate, as well as JP Morgan which is planning to move their headquarters. Among the most notable stats, this quarter are a 17.9% drop in inventory in the Brooklyn office market year over year. While Manhattan’s availability rate rose slightly to 12.3%.   In Manhattan Total inventory stands at 451M square feet Percentage available for lease is up to 12.3% Absorption was negative by over 1.2 million square feet Asking rents are up to $76.13 per foot Over 19M square feet of office space is under construction  In Midtown leasing dropped 27.6% from the previous quarter And down 49.1% in Midtown South Leasing activity rose Downtown The highest asking rents were found in the Far West Side at $119.03 per square foot. The lowest asking rents were just $52.17 in the East Village   Notable leasing activity included: Over 500,000 feet taken by in NYC Health & Hospitals in Downtown East 51,000 square feet taken by  Google in Hudson Square And 280,000 square feet taken at the Rockefeller Center by Akin, Grump Hauser & Feld    In Brooklyn Total inventory rose to 33.6M square feet Percentage available for lease fell to 15.9% The absorption rate is up Asking rents are up to $51 per square foot on average Office space under construction is up to 3.3M square feet Notable leasing activity included Amazon’s expansion from Manhattan, with 54,000 square feet at Liberty Industrial Plaza. Notable construction and renovation projects include:  Dock 72  Domino Sugar Factory  One Willoughby Square    In Terms of Market Factors & Economic Indicators NYC employment rose to 4.6M in Q1 2019 Unemployment fell to 4.2% Vacancy rates stood at 10.2% Additionally, in Manhattan, while subleasing reached its highest level of available space in 35 quarters, new leases in Downtown posted their strongest first quarter on record. Over 9M square feet of new office space is coming online this year. Though 84% of it is already reportedly pre-leased.   In summary…  Overall, this quarterly data suggests that the New York City office market is still in good shape. Far better than retail. Notable global corporations continue to prize prime property here. Many are expanding their footprints, with more expanding into Brooklyn, where rents are cheaper and more space is available. While we should keep an eye on subleasing data, the strength of new and pre-leases suggests good balance in the market and not much to fear from new developments coming to market. There appears to be no lack of appetite for great properties in new locations.  With unemployment so low, upcoming job numbers may seem lean, though there isn’t much more of the population to employ. How much more office space we will need and be able to absorb may depend on recruiting more residents to the state, and continuing to make sure housing is affordable. Be sure to check out our multifamily reports for the latest data on the Brooklyn rental market.

So, what’s new in New York Real Estate? Let’s take a look at the numbers… This month’s Brooklyn rental market data is a refreshing change to the recent doom and gloom rumors about the economy and NYC property market. Leasing activity has surged, with intense competition between new apartment developers. The most expensive rentals in March 2019 were found in Dumbo. The least expensive were all in Bay Ridge. Among the most notable stats over the last month were a 48.1% increase in studio leases being signed. Followed by a 30.5% rise in two bedroom leasing. Month over month, Across all unit, types price per square foot rose by 2%. Yet, listing inventory still rose by 6.1%. Days on market dropped by 7.1% to just 26 days on average. Year over year, rental prices are up an average of 3.2% over the same period in 2018. The number of new leases being signed rose by 40.3%.

Free rent offered by owners rose 6.7%.  Now let’s take a look at rentals by unit type:   For studios The average rental rate was: $2,500 Average price per foot is $55.30 1 studio was No Fee, and 21 were Fee apartments Month over month changes saw rents down 4.8% but up 4.7% year over year. Units with elevators rented for around $200 more per month more than walk-up units last month. Gyms are still an in-demand amenity, adding almost $700 to the monthly rent. Units with full-time lobby attendance rented for around $700 more per month more. Having a laundry in the building added around $400 to rental rates last month.   For 1 bedrooms... The average rental rate was: $2,856  Average price per foot is down to $49 3, 1 beds were No Fee, versus 108 Fee apartments Month over month rents are up 3.2% year over year rents are up 6% No fee 1 bedrooms rented for around $500 less per month.

Year over year there seems to continue to be a nice pace of growth, and a great surge in new leases being signed. The sizable differences in rents for units with superior amenities also show how demanding tenants have become, as well as reflecting new construction units being snapped up. Some of this surge in new leasing could be due to renters jumping to new landlords to take advantage of special deals and to avoid rent hikes in current apartments, making it worth consulting a local expert before you raise the rent again.

They have alarms, they have automatic lights, they have anti-theft tracking and a team of bike hunters that hunt them down and retrieve them when stolen.  Today we're super excited to be talking with Daan Rekkers of Van Moof USA, and that might not be a name that you're familiar with yet, but you're going to be at some point because Van Moof is rethinking the way the world is biking. So when you sit on one of their newly crafted smart bikes, you're kind of taken into the future where no one else has gone before, so let's jump in and Daan what do you do at Van Moof, did I say that right, Van Moof? [00:02:14.17] Yes, Van Moof that's exactly how you say it.  [00:02:17.18] You say it better, you say Van Moof okay I have to work on that.  [00:02:21.21] Van Moof, the way you say it is perfectly fine because of course consumer, but I basically run the US operation.  [00:02:33.05] It's a big job. [00:02:35.14] I know, yes. [00:02:37.01] Well let's start from the very beginning, what is Van Moof? [00:02:40.27] Very good question yes, we are a bike company, but we're also a tech company. So a bike meets Tech Company from Amsterdam with the aim of getting the next billion people on bikes in cities worldwide. We create smart and electric bikes that we can sell to city dwellers around the globe, and our bikes recognize their riders they have alarms, they have automatic lights, they have anti-theft tracking and a team of bike hunters that hunt them down and retrieve them when stolen. [00:03:15.19] What? That's crazy. So when we talk about what's smart about them as a rider, what am I experiencing that's different than other bikes? [00:03:24.17] After the basic like such automatic integrated lighting, an app that tracks and writes and reminds you where you parked, we're using tech to put bike thieves out of business. So our bikes are virtually theft proof, they have responsive alarms that kick in when a stranger touches it. The bike also sends messages when something fishy and something is going on basically in the area, and it also has anti-theft tracking in case it really happens that they get stolen. [00:04:02.13] Wow, this is a big deal, I mean and I imagine these bikes they cost a lot, you know they're smart so you want to know that they're secure and that you're safe to invest in them. [00:04:14.08] That's exactly right and that's why we trying to do, we try to tackle all those inconveniences that hold people from investing something in an actual good quality bike. [00:04:24.24] What is the philosophy behind the bikes, how did this get started, what's the thinking behind it? [00:04:30.15] We've really made it our mission to get the next billion people on bikes, so we're from Amsterdam and cycling capital of the world and we believe that cycling can really improve the ways we live. We breathe and move around cities in the world because we believe that the best and fastest most fun also way to get yourself from your A to B to get yourself around in the city is by a bike. That means we're constantly reimagining how the bike should work in cities of tomorrow, and we're taking down barriers to choose a quality bike. [00:05:07.01] The other thing that's nice about bikes is not having horns, like taxicab horns. [00:05:12.17] I also have to say that our newest model does have an actual horn, but it is actually a very like friendly sounding horn of which you can design any sound in a way you want. We basically chose for this option because like a classic bell, an addition is always like a sensitive and fragile part on the bike. Basically a part of can break and that's also how our company started, as we kind of redesigned the bike from scratch, like we saw a lot of additions to a bicycle like you don't really need or even stuff that you miss, and that's why we started from scratch again and we just wanted to design a very functional products, only the things you need basically. Now, of course, our bike also has like most other bikes like wheels, the pedals, and the handlebar and that's actually to just like, of course, to make yourself move that's all you need. Now, what's the main difference actually, mainly resale is electric bikes, so the bike will assist you and it will assist you even up to 80 percent of what you can do, so it feels like you have a really strong wind in your back all the time. [00:06:24.03] So not like a motor because that's kind of intimidating, but just a battery, just to help, just a wind. [00:06:29.29] That's right exactly, just to help. We don't want to create a motorbike, we don't want to create anything really powerful that blows your mind, and we really want to still give people the feeling of cycling. Well cities are obviously so big and we want to basically offer a replacement for your train or for the car, and that's why you need to cross a bigger distance than on a regular bicycle. [00:06:51.06] Daan I'm really interested in the security factor with your bikes, you spoke before about three stages, what are your three security stages? [00:07:03.29] Yes, very good question about the three stages. The three stages of an alarm and it works a little different than a classic car alarm, so basically once you park your bike on the street and you walk away from it, the alarm will automotive call armed because the bike will recognize your phone will move away from your bike. And now once for example potential thief will approach the bike and touches the bike, the bike will give a soft warning and the soft warning is the first stage. It's a first like a kind of sonar, kind of beep; it's a very soft and polite warning that this bike is not a regular bike. [00:07:46.08] So if somebody is walking by and they hear this which they do, is that a first indication, is that an alarm that you would know to call the police for? [00:07:56.26] Maybe, but not immediately because the first date is very friendly. But if you actually still keep touching the bike and you even write it away the bike will automatically go in the second stage, and the second stage is actually a very loud crazy alarm, the bike will go completely crazy. The lights will start flashing repeatedly and you hear a very loud noise coming out of the bike. [00:08:23.07] That's intimidating. [00:08:25.10] That is indeed very intimidating, yes. [00:08:27.26] And let's talk about the third and you're in trouble stage. [00:08:31.22] Exactly, that's right. The third stage of the alarm we call lockdown mode and the bike will go crazy for a few minutes in the second stage, but once you actually take it and you take it around the block the bike will go in full lockdown, so all the smart futures are basically shut down, the light will turn off and the sound will stop. It will basically use its remaining battery power to send tracking signal, and from that point, bike hunters and we have our own bike hunting team, they will engage, they will see the message and they will immediately search for the bike.  [00:09:08.02] You've got a bike search team, they're like the ghost hunters for bikes. [00:09:15.12] Exactly you can see it like that, globally we have 17 bike hunters working full-time for us and they spend all their time in retrieving our bicycles for customers. [00:09:29.02] Wow, can we get into what the average cost is per bike? [00:09:32.26] Yes, definitely. Our bike cost average, an average it's hard to tell because we sell both smart and electric bikes, all of our bikes are smart but with the electric bikes are also is an additional battery and motor, so electric pedal assist bicycle. And the smart bike currently cost 798, but you could also get it for $25 per month, it's a subscription model, then we have our e-bike that currently cost in pre-order 25.98. [00:10:10.25] Okay, and I mean honestly that's a lot less than a vehicle, so it's a good investment, makes a lot of sense. [00:10:19.05] Exactly, it's a very good investment and in fact, this bicycle is a true competitor with a car, so that makes it actually very interesting. [00:11:15.16] I'm just kind of curious you've been talking about the different countries that you're in, what are the different ways that people in the different countries and different cultures use your product like as far as leisure and work transportation and such? [00:11:28.24] Yes, we try to accommodate and make our bike as universal as possible, but obviously all countries are different, cultures are different and people use their bike in different ways. What we see in Europe a lot is commuting, but way more to the extent as in the U.S. In the U.S. you want to go from A to B as an individual, for example, you go from home to work or back, sometimes you go to the grocery store, but you prefer to go separately with a bag and you want to go nearby even with your car you want to carry something, which in Europe actually people do in some countries everything on your bike. So that means bringing their kids to school on a bicycle with child seats on the bike, that means food grocery so you go actually and grab your weekly groceries at the grocery store with your bicycle, it means you fully pack it with stuff and that's the main difference we actually see in culture.   [00:12:28.09] Interesting. As an American housewife, I can't imagine doing the full weekly shopping with a bicycle, how does that happen? [00:12:36.14] Yes, well you obviously buy the same amount of stuff, but people in Europe try to accommodate, to try to figure out how to carry as much as possible stuff on their bicycles so that it means to add paneer bags on both sides of the bike, using an additional backpack so basically use every single space you have a bicycle to pack more stuff. [00:13:02.05] Wow, that's very interesting knowing the cultural differences. And you know you've taken such a huge step with the smart bike, what do you see whe]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">1252731c7fef498aa4d03b5ffbfeffbd</guid><pubDate>Fri, 07 Jun 2019 22:11:55 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/18209145/interview_with_daan_from_van_moof.mp3" length="30763518" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Brooklyn Made Real Estate Show</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>We create smart and electric bikes that we can sell to city dwellers around the globe, and our bikes recognize their riders.

This is episode is brought to you by our sponsors The Ratner Team and Spartan Renovations. The Ratner Team are your local New York real estate experts for buying, selling, leasing and investing in property in the Big Apple. Spartan Renovations is a leading NYC firm specializing in architectural and engineering design, project design and management and general contracting services.   This month’s roundup shows how the DNA of NYC and its real estate continues to change. While property sales and retail has been soft lately, a new wave of buildings all coming to market at the same time, and plenty more permits behind them could push the market solidly into one direction or the other. A new spree of recorded sales could be great. If they don’t happen, competition might create great acquisition opportunities across the NYC map.    The landscape is changing with new developments, and over the long run, there seems but no stopping New York as an innovative playground for real estate developers, architects, and creatives.   Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable news this month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines… Here come the defaults. While there are plenty of shiny renderings to show off new developments coming to market, it seems the commercial mortgage defaults are beginning to pop up again as well.   545 Madison Avenue’s $30M loan from Barclays has entered  special servicing due to “severe cash flow issues.” Last month another of Thor Equities’ landed in default over a $37M mortgage in struggling Soho. Another property on Fifth Ave. Thor exited a few years ago has also gone into default with over $230M in non-performing debt.   None of this seems to have deterred Warren Buffett from lending Kushner Companies $800M to finance a $1.1B portfolio purchase for apartments in MD and VA.  Kushner Companies also seem to be on a spree of moving into new Opportunity Zones down the east coast, all the way to Miami.   VRBO and  Home Away join Airbnb in the hot water for its short term rental business in NY. HomeAway has so far failed to supply listing data to the city as required. Expedia has purchased 3 short term rental platforms since 2015, including HomeAway for $3.9B. You may well have seen many of these private home and condos listed along with hotels on Expedia over the past couple of years.   Google has been going all in on  Chelsea, with another $600M purchase of The Milk Building. This growing monopoly adds on to its $2.4B purchase last year, and is reportedly part of another $1B expansion spree.   If even some of Manhattan’s biggest deal makers can’t afford their rent these days, it’s no wonder homelessness in NYC is sill so big. Counts, which can be difficult to get right, already put the local population of homeless as big as the 10th largest city in the state. Shelter populations appear to remain flat, but the city continues to spend $3.2B on  homeless services.   5G is coming. Well, they already have it in Chicago and Minneapolis. How long before we get it across NY is going to depend a lot on state and local lawmakers hasing out who gets what money from carriers and how much can be charged. Proposals call for $200 per ‘box’, versus what some are now charging over $2,000 for. If there isn’t a good compromise, it just isn’t going to make financial sense for the carriers to bring  5G here.    Among the newest amenities to hit the multifamily market is Brookfield’s new partnership with a delivery service and waste management firm which gives residents brand name items in reusable containers. Everything from popular brand cleaning products to ice cream and and juices are now delivered like the old milkman in eco-conscious,  reusable containers to improve the sustainability of existing and new developments.   Tour 24 also has an app which now facilitates self guided tours for prospective renters, streamlining the process for landlords and making it more convenient for renters to apartment shop on their own schedules.   For Brooklyn Real Estate News  A part of the latest NYC budget calls for more taxes on those selling properties $25M and above. The new mansion tax can be as high as 4%, making it even more challenging for sellers.   The  Domino Sugar factory project is moving along, with the second residential tower recently topping out. The waterfront tower in Williamsburg is now 42 stories. One South First will have 660 residential apartment units, 150k square feet of office space and 15k square feet of retail.   Something new is coming to  Bedford Ave. RedSky Capital has amassed a line of properties along Bedford, and rumors are that a new big-box retailer could soon make it home. Current short term small tenants can pay as much as $36,000 per month for space here. A fraction of what might be charged to a large international retailer. RedSky is known for bringing top brands to Brooklyn, including Apple.   In case you missed it, the Brooklyn rental market had an amazing month in March, with a 40% surge in new leases being signed. That’s almost double the rate in Manhattan and Queens. Rents were up 5.8%, with the most leases signed in a single month over the previous 15 months. Bloomberg and  National Real Estate Investor credit some of this activity to renters jumping to new buildings, rather than paying the rent increases being demanded by current landlords. 75% of new developments were offering an average special worth 1.6 month’s of free rent.   In other boroughs Lots of new buildings have been launching sales this month, with more permits coming behind them. Even Queens and the Brinx have been quite active.   While not approved yet, the Bronx could get its own massive 5M square foot mixed use waterfront project, ‘The Fordham Landing Project’.   The Rockefeller Group has opened sales for  Rose Hill, it’s first condo development in Manhattan. The 600 foot tall building offers condos starting around $1.2M.   JP Morgan aims to revitalize  East Midtown in one swoop with its newly approved HQ. The new 70 story tower is planned to replace the old Union Carbide Building.   Following a similar development in Downtown Brooklyn,  Macy’s is reportedly planning a new 800 foot tower on top of its flagship store in Midtown Manhattan. A move that shifts the company away from relying on the ailing retail industry.   In conclusion... This month’s New York real estate news roundup is positive overall. In spite of rising inventory levels in luxury condominiums and retail spaces, and some defaults, the demand from residential tenants and major firms appears to be there. World class developers, architects and innovators continue unveiling progressive new buildings and communities. If you have the right product, in the right place, at the right price, and it is marketed well, investors can still expect great successes.    Well, that’s it for this month’s roundup.

This is episode is brought to you by our sponsors The Ratner Team and Spartan Renovations. The Ratner Team are your local New York real estate experts for buying, selling, leasing and investing in property in the Big Apple. Spartan Renovations is a leading NYC firm specializing in architectural and engineering design, project design and management and general contracting services.   This month’s roundup shows how the DNA of NYC and its real estate continues to change. While property sales and retail has been soft lately, a new wave of buildings all coming to market at the same time, and plenty more permits behind them could push the market solidly into one direction or the other. A new spree of recorded sales could be great. If they don’t happen, competition might create great acquisition opportunities across the NYC map.    The landscape is changing with new developments, and over the long run, there seems but no stopping New York as an innovative playground for real estate developers, architects, and creatives.   Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable news this month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines… Here come the defaults. While there are plenty of shiny renderings to show off new developments coming to market, it seems the commercial mortgage defaults are beginning to pop up again as well.   545 Madison Avenue’s $30M loan from Barclays has entered  special servicing due to “severe cash flow issues.” Last month another of Thor Equities’ landed in default over a $37M mortgage in struggling Soho. Another property on Fifth Ave. Thor exited a few years ago has also gone into default with over $230M in non-performing debt.   None of this seems to have deterred Warren Buffett from lending Kushner Companies $800M to finance a $1.1B portfolio purchase for apartments in MD and VA.  Kushner Companies also seem to be on a spree of moving into new Opportunity Zones down the east coast, all the way to Miami.   VRBO and  Home Away join Airbnb in the hot water for its short term rental business in NY. HomeAway has so far failed to supply listing data to the city as required. Expedia has purchased 3 short term rental platforms since 2015, including HomeAway for $3.9B. You may well have seen many of these private home and condos listed along with hotels on Expedia over the past couple of years.   Google has been going all in on  Chelsea, with another $600M purchase of The Milk Building.

Again a technology from Europe, that just came out to the market in 2015.   [00:00:20.15] From the Ratner team this is the Brooklyn made podcast, the show about Brooklyn real estate, entrepreneurs, businesses and the professionals behind one of the hottest real estate markets in the world. The Brooklyn made show is a one-stop shop for anyone interested in New York real estate, entrepreneurship and business. On the show you'll learn valuable insights from New York's industry leaders stay up to date with the latest local real estate and business news, follow market trends, listen to exciting local stories and much more. Each month our show will feature local entrepreneurs, professionals and real estate experts that we are eager for you to meet.    [00:01:28.05] If you're interested in sponsoring our podcasts or advertising on our Brooklyn made blog and giving your company the exposure of our audience and network, get in touch with us today at 347-762-0275 or email us at <a href="mailto:Contact@Brooklynmade.blog">Contact@Brooklynmade.blog</a>.   [00:01:46.23] Well hello, I am Suzanne Lynn, I'm the host of the Brooklyn made show and today well we have such a unique business and special lady heading it up. We're going to be talking with Marie from the Nordic Edge and for many of us this concept of cryotherapy is like some futuristic stuff, but Marie's going to share about the amazing health benefits of cryotherapy, and getting your body into temperatures twice as cold as the coldest month in Antarctica. So if I've got your attention now, let's jump in and meet Marie. Marie you're the owner of Nordic edge, first of all before we dive into this, tell us what is Nordic edge?   [00:02:24.27] Sure, so Nordic edge is a modern Wellness Center, we are primarily known for cryotherapy which is delivery of extremely cold temperatures for array of different health benefits. But we also have other therapies halo therapy; compression therapy, infrared sauna and we sell a slew of CBD products, so we like to consider ourselves innovative and modern and health benefits that we offer.   [00:02:57.14] So when you talk about these different CBD, is it mostly about relaxation and tension release or is there weight loss included and firming up, what are some of the benefits of this?   [00:03:11.03] So every service has a different main benefit to it, whole body cryotherapy is extremely beneficial for reducing inflammation that could come from autoimmune diseases or arthritis, chronic pain, acute pain, injuries we can target a specific area on your body if it's sore or we can get the entire body through our whole body chambers. For infrared sauna it's a little bit different, the main benefit is detoxing which also helps you lose weight and we also have others compression with blood circulation, halo therapy's more for respiratory conditions and our tea shock is really geared towards fat freezing, so we do have a different type of treatment pretty much for anyone.   [00:04:03.01] This is really cool, I mean this is truly groundbreaking stuff you're doing.   [00:04:07.03] Yes, a lot of this technology and therapies in general was taking from European countries, and bringing it to the United States and trying to keep again innovative and on top of all the new technologies that are out there. And frankly 10 years from now, cryotherapy the way that we deliver it now may be different and we always want to deliver the best and most modern therapies to our client.   [00:04:32.08] I'm interested by the fact that you said that a lot of this is coming from European traditions and things that they're doing, are they ahead of us?   [00:04:39.16] I like to think in terms of alternative medicines, absolutely. I would say even some types of medical procedures they are ahead of us, they're like experts in the field particularly on alternative medicine, say we are 10 years behind which is actually pretty spot-on for some of the therapies that were developed in Europe that I had brought along with other people to the United States about ten years later.   [00:05:15.21] Interesting. When I think about the way that we're eating in America compared to Europe, I mean we probably need to detox and get out this inflammation and everything because of the processed foods that are not approved in Europe, right?   [00:05:29.04] Yes, absolutely. I mean we spend an absolute fortune on health care costs in the United States, but yet our disease rates and our diabetes rates and heart disease rates are sky high compared to other European countries. We're spending a lot but the quality is not that great to compare to other, quality of life is not that great compared to other countries yes.   [00:06:00.24] Marie how did you get into cryotherapy in the first place?   [00:06:03.28] Well about five years ago I was working at the hospitals and mostly in the critical care section and a patient of mine had said that he had done the Cryo thing and that it's cured his back pain, and he's no longer on narcotics and being a nurse I was like yes, if it was that great it had to be all over the place. Anyway, I was interested, I just had a baby, I just went back to work, I was exhausted, and my hormones are all over the place, I did not feel good. I went on to this website, there was at the time one place in Manhattan doing whole body cryotherapy, it was owned by a Polish woman who had brought the technology over from Poland. So I went down there and the minute I stepped out of the whole body machine I had not felt that good in a very long time, I was hooked right away. But what caught me is that the person that was administering the treatment to me, they couldn't tell me exactly what was going on with my body and I had the questions being a nurse. And I was why do I feel this way, why am I so energized and they couldn't really tell me. No needless to say I had just gone into my I think it was my second year, going into my second year of my doctorate program and I had to take a dissertation topic in a research study, so I ended up writing my research on cryotherapy.   [00:07:38.11] Well timing is everything, isn't it?   [00:07:41.08] I know. So I learned so much about it, I learn so much about that particular therapy in general and 99% of the research was again done in Europe and not in the United States and at the end of my program I knew so much about it and there was still nothing around aside this little places in Manhattan and I said you know what I probably know more than anyone I could just open my own, so I ended up opening my first location three years ago.   [00:08:15.01] Wow, and it's going well?   [00:08:17.20] Yes, it's going well we have a couple locations now and we're continuing to grow.   [00:08:23.20] Can you kind of talk about what Cryo-T-Shock is?   [00:08:27.06] Sure, Cryo-T-Shock is a brand-new service that we just started launching last month. It's very similar people compare it to Cool Sculpting, however Cool Sculpting does the fat freezing, what Cryo-T-Shock does is also does fat freezing, also does cellulite reduction, toning and tightening and facials for anti-wrinkles, so there's four different functionalities of it. What Cool Sculpting does is uses high-frequency ultrasound to kill fat cells, what we use in the Cryo-T-Shock is thermal shock, which goes between heat and cold to kill the fat cells, and then there are different mechanisms and different thermal shock regimens as toning and tightening and the other three modalities. The before and after are unbelievable, we usually do about five sessions on a client, it depends on how much that you have, what areas were focusing on and so forth. But the results have been absolutely tremendous; again a technology from Europe, from Italy actually [Inaudible 00:09:43.20] that just came out to the market this 2018.   [00:09:45.27] Wow, as you're talking about this I'm hearing several different types of sessions here in America that we would have to sign up for and prepare for, I mean you're getting these all in one session?   [00:09:58.01] Yes, so we're really trying to be convenient for people and cost effective, even our whole body treatment they're three minutes long.   [00:10:10.29] Wow, you haven't seen my body Marie, I don't know about three minutes.   [00:10:18.08] But so the T-Shock is a little bit longer but the longest is going to be an hour. And yes we're trying to be as convenient and cost-effective as everyone, we are in New York you're the busiest people around even we don't have something to do with making. I would say about 90% of the people that come into our facility they're all walk-ins, they're coming in they're getting their stuff and they're getting out, so convenient yes.   [00:10:48.18] Wow, so who is your ideal clientele, I mean we're looking for someone who needs to lose a certain amount of inches because they've got a wedding coming up or who are we looking at?   [00:10:58.21] Actually the majority of people that come into our facility are in pain, and a lot of our services are geared around that and actually that's where I'm particularly interested and that's where I did most of my research on pain reduction and reduction of inflammation. And again most of our therapies are dealt around pain or some type of ailment that an individual have. The only thing that's more in the aesthetics or beauty arena would be the Cryo-T-Shock, which are those individuals that work out all the time or that constantly go to the gym, had babies or didn't have babies but they can't move that extra inch and they're trying to get that off or tighten it up, that's what perfect client for us or people that do have a couple of pounds on them, that wants to lose, that are trying to kick start a healthy lifestyle, that's what we're here]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">8f4092c4c2be48f399efb917b98060eb</guid><pubDate>Sat, 18 May 2019 15:42:13 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/18010038/interview_with_marie_oconnor_from_nordic_edge.mp3" length="33776960" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Brooklyn Made Real Estate Show</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>[00:00:00.14] The before-and-after are unbelievable, we usually do about five sessions on, at times it depends on how much that you have, what areas are we focusing on and so forth, but the result has been absolutely tremendous.

This is episode is brought to you by our sponsors The Ratner Team and Spartan Renovations. The Ratner Team are your local New York real estate experts for buying, selling, leasing and investing in property in the Big Apple. Spartan Renovations is a leading NYC firm specializing in architectural and engineering design, project design and management and general contracting services. While we’re still dealing with rumors of a softening market and a lot of regulatory issues, this month’s data shows some surprisingly strong data, as well as ongoing strength in development. Many even think this could just be the beginning for the rebound of some property types. The market may have changed, but there’s no holding back New York as an innovative playground for real estate developers, architects, and creatives. Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable news this month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines… Despite all the doom and gloom talk a few months ago  NYC rental prices are still heading up. Manhattan rents just hit a 3 month high, while Queens and Brooklyn hit new all-time record high rental prices. Protesters continue to march for  universal rent control. We all know the rent is high. We all know that there are bad owners and landlords who have not been nice to renters. Yet, it is hard to have it all. It’s hard to demand government subsidies and public services, which end up coming out of landlords’ pockets in the form of higher property taxes, and then to expect the rent not to go up. Some landlords in NY have been facing property taxes going up by more than 50% per year. Unless they can pass those costs onto tenants, they may not have a place to live in soon anyway.  Airbnb continues to be a touchy subject in NYC. Prospect Leffert Gardens tenants recently sued their landlord after finding routine maintenance unsolved, while the property owner fitted empty units with luxury appliances so they would rent on Airbnb. The hot new neighborhood amenity that’s trending in Brooklyn this month? Have you tried axe throwing yet? You’ll now find  axe throwing venues popping up in Gowanus, Greenpoint, Downtown Brooklyn, and Williamsburg. Crain’s says that NYC is still creating jobs, but is still bleeding residents. New York recently topped the list of US states for people leaving. People will always want to move to the Empire State. Especially from overseas. Yet, many New Yorkers are finally being forced to cave and move to where it’s cheaper and the taxes are lower. This comes right when new legislation and regulations are set to make it even more expensive to build in NY, and maybe even block new developments like the Hudson Yards. This may be specifically true of carbon-cutting measures and forced cuts to buildings’ energy consumption levels. Someone has to pay for the changes, and that’s often going to fall on the building owners. This is all going to make it more expensive not only to build but in turn to renting the end units. Another new hit to big developers is the recent closing of the  mechanical void loophole, preventing supertall buildings from jacking up building heights with empty space to bolster their bragging rights and enable them to charge more for higher floor apartments.   One response to all of this is a new spree in building  pod hotels. BD Hotels is planning 50 new buildings with micro rooms as small as a sixth of the size of a regular hotel room. They already have at least four across Manhattan and Brooklyn. The really good news this month is that mountains of capital have been raised for investing in real estate.  BisNow reports there is $338B in dry powder capital waiting in funds, ready to be invested as of April 2019. Another incredible bright spot for commercial real estate may be what’s next for today’s hugely popular  online retail brands. Some are arguing that instead of online replacing brick and mortar, physical stores may now be a must for eTailers. They may be the key to continuing growth. That could lead to a new hot spot in retail. Especially in smaller, right-sized stores.     For Brooklyn Real Estate News If there is a downturn happening, someone forgot to tell Brooklyn. According to The Real Deal, Brooklyn real estate just had its best month of the year. Brooklyn’s luxury market saw 18  contracts signed for almost $54M in just one week in the middle of April. The previous week saw 10 contracts signed for $30M. Netflix is bullish on Brooklyn too, planning a $100M expansion between our borough and Manhattan. Construction just wrapped up at  1 Flatbush in Downtown Brooklyn. The 201-foot tall building sports residential apartments with a coworking space, fitness center, bicycle storage and game room with vintage video games and arcade machines. Brooklyn also has a new tallest tower, with Extell’s  Brooklyn Point. The 720-foot tall high rise has 458 luxury units starting at $850k. One project that may not happen yet is the twin 16 story towers proposed in  Crown Heights. A judge has issued a temporary restraining order halting construction which could block sunlight from the botanical garden.   In other boroughs Over in the Bronx, a  former army reserve center is being transformed into housing for homeless veterans. The renovated building will offer 90 affordable and low-income housing units.  Manhattan’s luxury market also saw an uptick in the middle of April. In just one week 19 contracts were signed for $139M. 150 Charles Street topped the deal list at $15M. Selling in just 98 days after hitting the market. Over on Staten Island, the  Bay Street rezoning proposal has moved to the next level. The plan is hoped to bring 1,800 affordable housing units to the area. Though with units that could rent for upwards of $3,000, we may one day have to ask what affordable really means.   In conclusion… This month’s New York real estate news roundup is definitely positive. In spite of rising inventory levels in luxury condominiums and retail spaces, those who can afford it are still clearly in love with NYC and are willing to pay a big premium for it. The new tech scene is likely to further feed the market, especially in Brooklyn.

Spartan Renovations is a leading NYC firm specializing in architectural and engineering design, project design and management and general contracting services. While we’re still dealing with rumors of a softening market and a lot of regulatory issues, this month’s data shows some surprisingly strong data, as well as ongoing strength in development. Many even think this could just be the beginning for the rebound of some property types. The market may have changed, but there’s no holding back New York as an innovative playground for real estate developers, architects, and creatives. Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable news this month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines… Despite all the doom and gloom talk a few months ago  NYC rental prices are still heading up. Manhattan rents just hit a 3 month high, while Queens and Brooklyn hit new all-time record high rental prices. Protesters continue to march for  universal rent control. We all know the rent is high. We all know that there are bad owners and landlords who have not been nice to renters. Yet, it is hard to have it all. It’s hard to demand government subsidies and public services, which end up coming out of landlords’ pockets in the form of higher property taxes, and then to expect the rent not to go up. Some landlords in NY have been facing property taxes going up by more than 50% per year. Unless they can pass those costs onto tenants, they may not have a place to live in soon anyway.  Airbnb continues to be a touchy subject in NYC. Prospect Leffert Gardens tenants recently sued their landlord after finding routine maintenance unsolved, while the property owner fitted empty units with luxury appliances so they would rent on Airbnb. The hot new neighborhood amenity that’s trending in Brooklyn this month? Have you tried axe throwing yet? You’ll now find  axe throwing venues popping up in Gowanus, Greenpoint, Downtown Brooklyn, and Williamsburg. Crain’s says that NYC is still creating jobs, but is still bleeding residents. New York recently topped the list of US states for people leaving. People will always want to move to the Empire State. Especially from overseas. Yet, many New Yorkers are finally being forced to cave and move to where it’s cheaper and the taxes are lower. This comes right when new legislation and regulations are set to make it even more expensive to build in NY, and maybe even block new developments like the Hudson Yards. This may be specifically true of carbon-cutting measures and forced cuts to buildings’ energy consumption levels. Someone has to pay for the changes, and that’s often going to fall on the building owners. This is all going to make it more expensive not only to build but in turn to renting the end units. Another new hit to big developers is the recent closing of the  mechanical void loophole, preventing supertall buildings from jacking up building heights with empty space to bolster their bragging rights and enable them to charge more for higher floor apartments.   One response to all of this is a new spree in building  pod hotels.

The Ratner Team are your local New York real estate experts for buying, selling, leasing and investing in property in the Big Apple. Spartan Renovations is a leading NYC firm specializing in architectural and engineering design, project design and management and general contracting services. This month we’re taking a look at the latest developments, new technology that is scaring renters, what’s happening with the banks and lenders, tax issues, new design trends and celebrity property deals. The market may have changed, but there’s no holding back New York as an innovative playground for real estate developers, architects, and creatives of all types. Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable news this month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines…   Brooklyn tenants don’t appear to be too happy about the latest real estate tech their landlords are trying out. The landlord of the Atlantic Plaza Towers is attempting to install biometric security systems to limit entry to those passing the  facial recognition technology. Renters are pushing back, and are for obvious reasons concerned about their privacy. Despite all the debates over budgets and the need for more taxes, NYC appears to be literally flush with cash. The  average public bathroom built by the New York City Parks Department has been costing taxpayers $3.6M. That may soon seem like a bargain. The Bronx is getting a new $4.7M bathroom at Ferry Point West Park. Staten Island is getting a new $6M public bathroom. Banks and lenders finally seem to be adjusting to the new trajectory of the real estate market. That’s even causing problems for $47B giant  We Work. ING appears to be the latest to turn them down, with Softbank pulling back from a plan to invest $16B in the company. The FHA has also announced it is tightening underwriting standards. It will flag more loan applications as high risk after years of allowing subprime level credit scores, down payments and debt to income ratios. A court has ruled that a case against a major landlord for rent inflation can proceed. While we all want to preserve affordable housing, who’s stopping the tax inflation. It is great to keep rent increases gradual, but landlords face constantly rising costs for workers, maintenance, materials, insurance and taxes. Without being able to pass some of those costs on, which the public (including renters) have approved, then who will operate these buildings which have such low or negative yields? This includes the recent property transfer tax which levies a Realtor level commission against those selling their homes. The two levels of taxes from the state and NYC can now reach over 3% of the sales price. With more people leaving New York due to high taxes, Governor Cuomo says he is having a hard time keeping up with calculating a budget. With tens of thousands of people leaving and spending rising, those bills must be spread across fewer taxpayers. If you’d like a place that is a little less crowded, with a few less neighbors in NYC, then some of the newer luxury buildings on the market might be for you. At 520 West 28th St., the Zaha Hadid designed building has only seen 16 of 39 apartments sold. The building has been opened for two years already. More concerning is the fact that the building carries a $162M mortgage, but has only sold $132M in units. Queens is working on an idea to rival the Hudson Yards by building above its own  Sunnyside Yards rail hub. Not everyone is onboard. Some would like to see more development in existing neighborhoods. The complex master planned project would cover 180 acres and likely feature housing, schools and parks. Who says they aren’t making more land? In a move possibly mirroring developments in Dubai and Monaco, Mayor Bill de Blasio has unveiled a $10B plan to  extend lower Manhattan, two blocks out into the river.   For Brooklyn Real Estate News Brooklyn has a new hub on the web for listing and finding creative offices and art studios. Check it out at <a href="http://www.brooklyncreativelofts.com" rel="noopener">www.brooklyncreativelofts.com</a>. Bed Stuy’s  Restoration Plaza is set for a new renovation with the help of British Starchitect David Adjaye. Also in Bed Stuy, a new 235 unit  apartment complex has been approved. Features include 108 bike parking spaces, a grocery store, a farm and aquaponics learning center.  The first of the new  She Built NYC series of statues is becoming close to a final design. The memorial for Brooklyn Born Shirley Chisholm will rest in Prospect Park. In Williamsburg, the lottery has opened for  Eliot Spitzer’s waterfront building and a shot at one of its 121 low income units. Despite the ‘affordable’ price ta, residents can still expect to spend over 30% of their monthly income, if they win a spot.  Equinox has gone from a luxury gym chain to opening its own hotels. It’s first opens at the Hudson Yards, with 212 rooms, a thermostats set to 66 degrees for better sleep, and an on-call nurse for IV drips for overcoming hangovers. Nightly rates will start over $700.   In other boroughs The $25B Hudson Yards project is now open. The arts center  The Shed kicked off with a five night concert on April 5th. A deal gone bad in the  Bronx has opened up a legal dispute over the $1.2M down payment put up by Hello Living. While New York may be battling some woes in some sections of its real estate market, BisNow proclaims that as the new top home for tech companies, NYC, and Brooklyn and Queens in particular is seeing a new rise in demand. Not only for housing units, but also for creative office spaces and amenities to serve tech workers. Still,  Manhattan hasn’t lost its appeal to everyone. The Walking Dead’s Negan actor has just added a $2.85M, 2 bedroom unit in downtown to their holdings. Though, it’s unlikely they’ll leave their upstate farm to live in the city full time. However, Tommy Hilfiger is the latest major retailer to pull out of Manhattan. It is quitting its flagship store on Fifth Ave., as local restaurants have shed thousands of jobs and over 25% of  retail space in Manhattan is now believed to be empty.   In conclusion... This month’s New York real estate news roundup is definitely positive. In spite of rising inventory levels in luxury condominiums and retail spaces, those who can afford it are still clearly in love with NYC property, and are willing to pay a premium for it. The new tech scene is likely to further feed the market, especially in Brooklyn and Queens. Any temporary slowdowns certainly are not deterring world class developers, architects and innovators from unveiling progressive new buildings and communities. If you have the right product, in the right place, at the right price, and it is marketed well, investors can still expect great successes. Well, that’s it for this month’s round up.

This is episode is brought to you by our sponsors The Ratner Team and Spartan Renovations. The Ratner Team are your local New York real estate experts for buying, selling, leasing and investing in property in the Big Apple. Spartan Renovations is a leading NYC firm specializing in architectural and engineering design, project design and management and general contracting services. This month we’ve seen more positive signs of faith in the market. Even though at least one real estate brokerage is suffering with a big drop in profits due to slow sales. Amazon’s pull out of Long Island City is going to make a lot of people very unhappy, though plenty of other businesses are upping their stake in NYC. We’re still seeing lot of big commercial real estate loans being made, and new permits being filed. Though new regulations see to be piling up just as fast. Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable deals of the month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines... Despite all the great commercial leasing activity we reported last month, we also covered come of Extell’s pains and struggles. This month it is  Douglas Elliman who is really feeling the pinch. The real estate brokerage’s profits are down 75% over the last year. Meaning in 2018 they only made a quarter of their profits of 2017. They say they are paring down, but won’t cut agent commissions.   While rebel startups Uber and Lyft are preparing for an IPO and are talking about handing out bonuses and stock to long term employees and top drivers,  Airbnb continues to face plenty of legal challenges in NYC. The city sent 718 violations to 139 one and two family homes in the last year. Though that pales in comparison to the violations sent to apartments. Fines can easily reach into the thousands of dollars.   NYC’s mayor has now gone even further in issuing a  subpoena to Airbnb demanding listing information to weed out illegal landlords who are breaking the law and operating with the same business licenses hotels require.   Zillow is also in hot water again. The company is being sued in federal court over incorrect data. Specifically by one spec builder whose home Zillow reported as sold for under the listing price. The property is still actively for sale. The seller is going after damages in the amount of $60M. Should the case win, who knows how hard  Zillow could be hit. Countless individuals, real estate agents and investors have been hurt by the firm’s poor data and flawed home value tools over the years. It could certainly potentially become the largest class action suit in history when given the number of homes and individuals involved. Say hello to  universal rent control. Oregon just passed a measure that would cap virtually every property at rent increases of half the current pace. Brooklyn’s state senator has also moved in legislation aimed at doing the same. Only limiting local rent increases to 3.3% per year.  Of course, none of this is slowing down WeWork, who just leased over 200,000 square feet at  199 Water Street. It’s 7th location in the Financial District.   Coliving developers are also bullish. They say they are getting 44% more per square foot using their approach to shared housing. The question is, with rents running over $2,000 per person for shared digs, will it be sustainable? Back to regulations, Cuomo wants to bar property owners from applying for  property tax credits for six years if they are caught improperly applying for them. A rule he intends to work into other upcoming legislation.  New regulations could be coming to cap ceiling heights in new developments. Developers are accused of using abnormal ceiling heights and vast empty spaces to boost property height and charge buyers more for higher floor units. Regulations aim to discourage builders from any ceiling over 12 feet high. Last month we covered the new record sale of a residential unit for $238M. The  Manhattan penthouse that was purchased by hedge fund manager Ken Griffin. Ken’s property spree also includes a new decade record high $122M for a unit in London and a $58.5M unit in Chicago in November 2018. The penthouse at 220 Central Park South boasts an amazing 24,000 square feet. This unit was originally listed for $250M. This month the hot news is the grumbling that his record breaking penthouse will only be taxed based on an  assessment of $9M. A twentieth of the sales price.   For Brooklyn Real Estate News In Brooklyn there is a push to speed up  rezoning in Bushwick. A city council member is pushing to the move to be expedited  Over in Greenpoint a historic 1903  Bath Haus gets new look, as it is transformed into a residential building with studios, apartments, townhouses and a penthouse. New architectural renderings have been revealed for an 11 story Park Slope building, and are definitely worth taking a look at. The progressive shape of  441 Fourth features lots of glass and brick, with staggered balconies.  960 Franklin Street is posed to be  Crown Heights new megaproject. Close to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden it will feature two 39 story buildings and 180 parking spaces. Though will not be complete until 2024.   In other boroughs Amazon’s pull out of the  HQ2 deal in Long Island city is not the Valentine’s Day gift many were hoping for. There were a lot of expectations, and condo contracts in the area surge from November through February 13th. Now that Amazon is out, there’s a good chance those other buyers and developers will be looking for ways out of their contracts too. Lyft isn’t being so shy. The ridesharing startup has just inked a lease for over 100,000 square feet alongside cardio startup Peloton, at  Hudson Commons. Among the big deals of the last month is the $200M sale of  250 Church Street to Normandy and Columbia. The former  Trump Soho hotel appears to be up for sale too, and doing much better since its name change. Still, Kushner Co.s is on the move with a massive $1.2B purchase of apartments. A deal which some news sites have reported could involve a record sized loan from Fannie Mae.   In conclusion...  This month’s New York real estate news roundup is definitely more positive.

This is episode is brought to you by our sponsors The Ratner Team and Spartan Renovations. The Ratner Team are your local New York real estate experts for buying, selling, leasing and investing in property in the Big Apple. Spartan Renovations is a leading NYC firm specializing in architectural and engineering design, project design and management and general contracting services. This month we’ve seen more positive signs of faith in the market. Even though at least one real estate brokerage is suffering with a big drop in profits due to slow sales. Amazon’s pull out of Long Island City is going to make a lot of people very unhappy, though plenty of other businesses are upping their stake in NYC. We’re still seeing lot of big commercial real estate loans being made, and new permits being filed. Though new regulations see to be piling up just as fast. Keep listening to get the scoop on all of this, the most notable deals of the month and what it means for landlords and investors.   In the commercial real estate headlines... Despite all the great commercial leasing activity we reported last month, we also covered come of Extell’s pains and struggles. This month it is  Douglas Elliman who is really feeling the pinch. The real estate brokerage’s profits are down 75% over the last year. Meaning in 2018 they only made a quarter of their profits of 2017. They say they are paring down, but won’t cut agent commissions.   While rebel startups Uber and Lyft are preparing for an IPO and are talking about handing out bonuses and stock to long term employees and top drivers,  Airbnb continues to face plenty of legal challenges in NYC. The city sent 718 violations to 139 one and two family homes in the last year. Though that pales in comparison to the violations sent to apartments. Fines can easily reach into the thousands of dollars.   NYC’s mayor has now gone even further in issuing a  subpoena to Airbnb demanding listing information to weed out illegal landlords who are breaking the law and operating with the same business licenses hotels require.   Zillow is also in hot water again. The company is being sued in federal court over incorrect data. Specifically by one spec builder whose home Zillow reported as sold for under the listing price. The property is still actively for sale. The seller is going after damages in the amount of $60M. Should the case win, who knows how hard  Zillow could be hit. Countless individuals, real estate agents and investors have been hurt by the firm’s poor data and flawed home value tools over the years. It could certainly potentially become the largest class action suit in history when given the number of homes and individuals involved. Say hello to  universal rent control. Oregon just passed a measure that would cap virtually every property at rent increases of half the current pace. Brooklyn’s state senator has also moved in legislation aimed at doing the same. Only limiting local rent increases to 3.3% per year.  Of course, none of this is slowing down WeWork, who just leased over 200,000 square feet at  199 Water Street. It’s 7th location in the Financial District.   Coliving developers are also bullish. They say they are getting 44% more per square foot using their approach to shared housing. The question is, with rents running over $2,000 per person for shared digs, will it be sustainable? Back to regulations, Cuomo wants to bar property owners from applying for  property tax credits for six years if they are caught improperly applying for them. A rule he intends to work into other upcoming legislation.  New regulations could be coming to cap ceiling heights in new developments. Developers are accused of using abnormal ceiling heights and vast empty spaces to boost property height and charge buyers more for higher floor units. Regulations aim to discourage builders from any ceiling over 12 feet high.
