After a quiet October, large projects in Manhattan came back with a vengeance last month.
Developments in the borough made up half of the 10 largest projects filed with the city in November, including the second, third and fourth place spots.
But the largest project overall was a massive development planned for Flushing, while the top Manhattan entry was a mixed-use project planned for Billionaires’ Row. It has as many square feet as the list’s next five projects put together.
Overall, the list has five projects in Manhattan, four projects in Brooklyn and one project in Queens. No projects in the Bronx or Staten Island made the top 10.
Here’s the full list of November’s top 10 real estate projects:
1. 131-01 39th Avenue, Queens

It will stand 19 stories and 245 feet tall. Yip bought it from Queens developer Andy Zhu in 2017 for $115 million.
