Modern Spaces 2012 Mid-Year Orange Report
Long Island City:
• Resales are on the rise – only approx. 250 new condo units hitting LIC over next 2 years
• L Haus and The View are selling at higher numbers than ever before
• Demand for larger units (3 bedrooms, buyers opting for as large as 5), also shortage of 1 bedroom inventory
• Market in LIC is strong – seeing bidding wars and some prices going above asking
Brooklyn:
• Projects like The Edge and Northside Piers selling at high numbers (One Brooklyn Bridge Park picking up traction in last 3 months) – Brooklyn is as much in demand as Manhattan
• Williamsburg West (West of Wythe and on the Waterfront) gaining popularity, Modern Spaces feel that it will be new IT area in Brooklyn
• New additions to Williamsburg West (CVS, Duane Reade, Wine Shops, 15,000-sf Supermarket) influencing residential growth
