New York, NY - May 9, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —
New York City is seen as the ultimate city on Earth, having cultural, entertainment, and educational credentials well-established, but the city is often cited when talking about its business and commercial importance. Wall Street has become the heart and the symbol of the US financial sector, and many of the world’s biggest corporations are headquartered in the city. With leading financial, communications, technology, and media companies choosing NYC as their base of operation, real estate has logically emerged as a major driver of the local economy. According to the Department of Finance, the total market value of New York properties was about $1.072 trillion in fiscal 2017, or 10.6% higher compared to 2016. Recently, there has been a considerable increase in demand for office condominiums, especially in Manhattan, which is set to witness its highest influx of new office supply since the mid-1980s, comments New York-based property expert and CEO of Frydco Capital Group Jacob Frydman.
With demand steadily rising in this market segment, a number of prominent NYC brokers have shifted their attention to office condos. "When you look at the market, you see sales falling for office, retail and residential. But commercial condos are a different story. We're projecting that segment of the market to grow," Cushman & Wakefield’s James Nelson said in an interview in 2017. As Jacob Frydman explains, rising rents in New York are largely responsible for the surge of interest in office condos. They allow enterprises to lock in their occupancy expenses, thus shielding themselves from future rent increases. Moreover, the properties appreciate in value, presenting opportunities from an investment perspective.
Recent data demonstrates the strength of the office condo market in New York, one of the latest publications coming from Rudder Property Group (RPG). According to its report for the first half of 2018, the period finished at near-record levels with regard to total square footage sold and total sales value, which reached $237 million. Notably, the market delivered its best performance to date in terms of average price per square foot, which jumped to $934, or 23% higher compared to the five-year average of $758. Commenting on the results in an interview, RPG principal Michael Rudder stated, “ The office market remains very strong. Office condominium purchasers are looking to avoid paying high rents and to reap the long-term benefits of Manhattan real estate ownership.”
