Manhattan’s multifamily market
Manhattan continues to be an investor magnet, with more than $3 billion in multifamily assets changing hands in the borough in the first half of the year, according to a Yardi Matrix report. The average per-unit price was at $752,988, having more than doubled during the past decade.
Construction activity has intensified across Manhattan in recent months. More than 7,900 units were underway year-to-date as of October, Yardi Matrix data shows, while the borough’s largest multifamily development, part of the Hudson Yards master-planned district, recently added 938 units to supply.
