“New
development is surging. In fact, from 2001 to 2004 new housing permits
averaged 20,000 a year,” notes Real Estate Board of NY president
Steven Spinola. “We have not seen annual averages at this level
for such a sustained period of time since the 1960s. Major rezoning
in strong and emerging neighborhoods such as Hudson Yards, Greenpoint/Williamsburg,
West Chelsea and Downtown Brooklyn will help quench New York’s
ferocious appetite for new housing.” |
