Three out of the five biggest building buys in 2011, by price, were Manhattan office towers, according to figures from The Real Deal‘s 2012 Data Book, which is now available for purchase online. The biggest transaction of 2011 was the purchase of the Starrett-Lehigh Building, at 601 West 26th Street, by Scott Rechler’s RXR Realty for $920 million, as The Real Deal previously reported in our story about last year’s biggest commercial transactions. The 2.3 million-square-foot property, between 11th and 12th avenues, was previously owned by Shorenstein Properties, one of the nation’s largest landlords. A package comprised of 55 East 42nd Street — also called Park Avenue Plaza — and 49 East 52nd Street traded hands for $569 million last year, coming in at number two. The third-largest deal was for 401 East 34th Street, a 703-unit apartment building, which was purchased for $443 million by the real estate investment trust UDR.

From the 2011 Data Book: Rezoning activity was relatively light in New York City in 2010 (see chart below) compared to the years of the real estate
boom earlier in the decade, when many community activists clamored to have their blocks “downzoned” to hold
off encroaching development. Gone too were major new
initiatives from the Bloomberg administration, which has
rezoned about one quarter of the city since 2002. Pundits say
to expect a revived land-use and development agenda from the
third-term Bloomberg in 2011. See a summary of the city’s major rezonings below and click the link at the top of the page, or here, to purchase a copy of the 2011 Data Book. TRD -

From the 2011 Data BookFrom the 2011 Data Book: Real estate brokers and salespeople continued to flee
the industry in 2010, amid a still tenuous market.
Manhattan saw an 8-percent decline in salespeople, and
a 6-percent decline in brokers (the two designations differ in
that brokers are more credentialed than salespeople). Queens
saw the biggest dropoffs in the city — a 32-percent decline in
salespeople and a 13-percent decline in brokers. Click on the link at the top of the site or here to buy the 2011 Data Book. TRD -
Truman Capote’s Brooklyn Heights home, which hit the market last yearFrom the 2011 Data Book: Considering the large amount of new construction supply
there, Brooklyn’s residential market has arguably held
up well since the meltdown on Wall Street in late 2008, according to The Real Deal’s 2011 Data Book (see full Brooklyn residential page below).
According to Miller Samuel, the borough’s median home price
near the end of 2010 was only 10 percent lower than the high point
reached during the boom three years earlier. Like with the rest
of the city, the challenges that face the Brooklyn market include
unemployment, tight credit, shadow inventory and a possible
city-budget shortfall, Miller Samuel CEO Jonathan Miller noted. To purchase the 2011 Data Book, click on the link at the top of the site or click here. TRD -
From the 2011 Data Book: It’s not always cheap to rent an apartment in Brooklyn. (To wit:
check out the figures below for Dumbo, which has the priciest
one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms in the borough, as well as
Williamsburg, which, surprisingly, has the priciest studios.) But it is
still cheaper than Manhattan. In November 2010, renters could get
a Brooklyn one-bedroom for a 23 percent discount compared to
Manhattan (a mean of $2,093 a month in Brooklyn versus $2,725 in
Manhattan), according to the Real Estate Group New York. Studios
and two-bedrooms saw similar percentage discounts. Click on the link at the top of the homepage or here for more. TRD
