As New York City simmers in some of the year’s hottest weeks, the city’s construction and real estate markets remain equally hot. The second quarter of the year, which spans the period from April through June, registered a total of 1,077 new building permits filed with the city’s Department of Buildings.

The 14,795 filed-for residential and hotel units also make for one of the highest quarterly counts of the decade, as do the 21.5 million filed-for square feet of new building floor area. YIMBY has meticulously vetted each of the thousand-plus new building permits submitted to the city in the second quarter and compiled a series of charts and analyses that look at emergent overarching trends.
