In this episode, Bob Knakal analyses the changing real estate scene in New York City, from office-to-residential conversions to broader market trends shaping development and investment opportunities.
He describes how tax incentives and cost structures are fueling conversion projects, while also emphasising the importance of understanding feasibility beyond simple percentages. Investors who can analyze these dynamics are in a better position to benefit from shifting market conditions.
Bob also talks about the split within the office market, where newer Class A buildings continue to perform well, while older assets are gradually recovering. This segmentation creates both challenges and opportunities, depending on asset type and strategy.
Finally, he offers an optimistic view on the future of New York real estate, pointing to pent-up demand, increasing transaction volume, and long-term growth potential as key signs of a market that is gaining strength.
