Manhattan dominated the list of New York City’s top 10 largest real estate projects in July.
The borough took four of the top 10 spots, including the number one spot thanks to Marx Development Group’s roughly 213,000-square-foot hotel and retail project at 450 11th Avenue in Hudson Yards. The development will be 43 stories tall and contain 531 residential units.
Queens had three projects on the list, while Brooklyn had two and the Bronx had one. No Staten Island projects were in the top 10 for July. Other notable projects included a Coney Island development from Starrett Corp. and a mixed-use project from Manhattan jeweler Avi Matatov in Rego Park.
