During the first half of 2018, multifamily sales in Brooklyn outpaced Manhattan. The borough saw $2.12 billion across 83 transactions and 145 properties. It was a 161 percent year-over-year increase, largely due to the $904.61 million sale of Starrett City. Meanwhile, Manhattan saw $1.75 billion in sales during the first half of the year.
