Ditch the BQE Reimagine Brooklyn Queens | Real Estate News

What if we tore down the aging Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and turned its 100-acre footprint into vibrant streets, light rail, housing, and parks? New York could save 30% compared to repairing the highway, unlock massive tax revenue, and transform a concrete wasteland into a thriving urban hub—just like Hudson River Park replaced the West Side Elevated Highway.

Luxury Market Dominated by Few | Real Estate News

Manhattan’s luxury real estate is being hijacked by a handful of mega-developments—35 Hudson Yards alone snagged 86% of luxury deals in its zone, while the Flatiron conversion grabbed 72%. These towers aren’t just selling units; they’re doubling prices and reshaping entire neighborhoods. With the pipeline of new projects drying up, competition is shrinking and power is consolidating. Meanwhile, Capitol Hill’s Judiciary Subcommittee is summoning Compass and Midwest Real Estate Data to explain a secret listing deal that could be anti-competitive—deadline: August 5th.

Northrup vs. Demolition: Save the Church | Real Estate News

Eli Northrup, the new Assembly nominee for the Upper West Side, is making waves by backing the preservation of the historic West-Park Presbyterian Church over its demolition for a luxury condo tower. With a landmark battle heating up, Northrup’s progressive platform clashes with development interests — as actor Mark Ruffalo and a nonprofit offer alternatives to the developer’s $33M plan. Church leaders need the sale proceeds to fund social justice work, but critics fear this hardship application could weaken landmark protections citywide. Northrup’s stance signals a bold stand for community institutions — and a potential turning point in the city’s housing vs. heritage debate.
