Another milestone transaction closed.

Development Site Advisors has exclusively SOLD 3705–3727 21st Street in Long Island City in an all-cash transaction valued at $12,000,000.

What was once a former junkyard site with approximately 275 feet of frontage is now set to become a groundbreaking housing development. In a first-of-its-kind achievement in New York City, this transaction creates a pathway for housing within an Industrial Business Zone (IBZ), where residential development is typically prohibited.

Development Site Advisors® exclusively sold 47-01 Northern Boulevard in a true all-cash transaction valued at $31 million.

The site was sold with all tenants in place and a path to future vacancy. The purchaser plans to develop two 11-story, 99-unit mixed-use rental apartment buildings.

The sales price equates to approximately $207 per buildable square foot (ZFA), setting a record for a spot-rezoned MIH development site in Queens, and approximately a 3% cap rate on existing income.

The most-read story from last week’s Developer’s Digest® was published by Bisnow and covered Mayor Mamdani’s release of his 112-page housing agenda, "Block by Block," which aims to create 200,000 new housing units and preserve 200,000 existing units over the next decade. The plan is backed by $22 billion in capital investment over five years and includes $2.5 billion annually for affordable housing development, expanded pathways for city takeovers of distressed properties, density bonuses around transit stations across all five boroughs, and stronger enforcement against negligent landlords through criminal charges and lender-coordinated foreclosures. REBNY raised concerns over the proposed Project Labor Agreements, while the New York Apartment Association criticized the plan’s approach to addressing distress in rent-stabilized buildings.

The most-read story from last week’s Developer’s Digest® was published by Bisnow and covered how Mayor Mamdani's administration has launched a neighborhood rezoning process targeting commercial corridors along Coney Island Avenue and McDonald Avenue, south of Prospect Park in Brooklyn — including areas known as Little Bangladesh and Little Pakistan — to allow for new apartment buildings near transit. The city also advanced planning for White Plains Road in the North Bronx, marking the first rezoning effort in the area to account for the planned Interborough Express light rail. No formal zoning proposal has been released yet, though a concept map is expected next year as part of Mamdani’s goal to add 200,000 new housing units citywide.

The most-read story from last week’s Developer’s Digest® was published by The Real Deal. More than a month behind schedule, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the framework of a $268 billion state budget deal that includes a pied-à-terre tax on New York City second homes valued at $5 million and above, expected to raise $500 million annually. The budget also modernizes environmental review by exempting qualifying projects of up to 500 units in medium- and high-density areas, and scales back the city’s 2030 carbon emissions targets to help lower utility costs.
