We have to have that parcel next door! Our relationship with Aby Rosen and Michael Fuchs, the principals at RFR Holding LLC, goes back to when they started their company in 1991. After that land sales market fell asleep during the Savings & Loan Crisis in the early 90s, we did the first development site sale coming out of that period, selling the site at 406-408 East 79th Street to RFR for $40 per buildable square foot. RFR was also our landlord for the first substantial office space Massey Knakal ever had – we moved into RFR’s 400 Park Avenue in 1993 when the office market was challenged enough that we could afford to take space there. We went on to take space at RFR’s 18 East 41st Street and occupied two different spaces there before moving to RFR’s 275 Madison Avenue where we stayed until MK was sold in 2014. In addition to being our landlord for all of those years, we also did several transactions with RFR as they have always been active players in the NYC investment sales market. One of their assets was a one-story retail property at 451 Lexington Avenue, at the southeast corner of Lexington and 45th Street. The property had 75’ of frontage on Lexington and 70’ of frontage on 45th Street. Most properties on wide avenues in Manhattan have 100’ of depth off the avenue. This short lot would create massing and design issues for a developer even though the property was in a high-density 10 FAR zoning district. The solution, try to include the 30’ wide adjacent parcel to the south at 447–449 Lexington. That was a 2-story, 30’ wide retail property, also with just 70’ of depth. Individually, each site would be challenging to develop but together, they make a great 75’ x 100’ dream site in midtown Manhattan adjacent to Grand Central Terminal. The adjacent property was owned by Edward Friedman, a broker and investor who cut his teeth in the business working with icons Harry Helmsley and Irving Schwartz. Eddie, at first, wasn’t interested in selling, but after explaining that the whole was worth much more than the sum of the parts, he got on board. Both properties were put on the market and we sold the site to a hotel developer for a combined $41,200,000. Here is what Aby Rosen had to say about the transaction: “Our relationship with Bob Knakal is decades long and we have worked on many transactions successfully in the past. Bob and his team did an outstanding job for us on the sale of this site. Bob is our ‘go- to’ broker for land sales in New York City.” #tuesdaytestimonial #nycrealestate #developmentdeal

NAHB predicts a significant pullback in multifamily starts for 2024. Are we surprised? Multifamily Developer Confidence is in Negative Territory. In the fourth quarter of 2023, multifamily developer confidence remained in negative territory, as revealed by the Multifamily Market Survey (MMS) conducted by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The survey produces two key indices: the Multifamily Production Index (MPI) and the Multifamily Occupancy Index (MOI). The MPI, which gauges sentiment about current production conditions in the apartment and condo market, scored 41, below the break-even point of 50. Meanwhile, the MOI, measuring the industry’s perception of occupancies in existing apartments, registered 77. Tight lending standards and high development loan costs continue to hinder financing for new multifamily projects. Given the substantial supply of multifamily units under construction, NAHB predicts a significant pullback in multifamily starts for 2024 #realestatedevelopment #realestateinvesting #passiveincome #multifamily #realestate #multifamilyinvesting #multifamilyrealestate #firsttimedeveloper #raisemasters30 #cre #financialfreedom

The turnaround in demand in Florida (and other SE States) is being driven by net in-migration; as expected states with the lowest in-migration (or even net out-migration) like those in the Northeast and Midwest/Plains are experienceing much slower demand increases.
