Join Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, Partner Sean R. Kelly, Esq., and Director Stephen Vorvolakos, for an in-depth discussion of the state of Brooklyn's commercial real estate market. They analyze the market's robust performance, including $3.25 billion in total investment sales in 1H 2025, trends shaping investment strategies across the borough and other key findings from Ariel's Brooklyn 2025 Mid-Year Commercial Real Estate Trends report.Highlights include:In the first half of 2025, Brooklyn saw 282 multifamily transactions, totaling over $2 billion, representing a 10% and 14% increase respectively over the first half of 2024.Of the multifamily transactions, 51.45% were for buildings with fewer than six units, underscoring a consistent post-HSTPA (Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019) investment strategy of prioritizing smaller, tax class protected assets that primarily offer free-market, value-add opportunities, largely unburdened by rent stabilization regulations.Brooklyn's development market was strong in the first half of 2025, with 68 transactions totaling $610 million and pricing that exceeded $300/BSF for the first time.City and state housing policies and rezonings, like in Gowanus and Atlantic Avenue, have created incentives for developers.Brooklyn saw a resurgence in the retail market, particularly in Williamsburg. Investments from entities like Acadia Realty and Empire State Realty Trust represent the most significant institutional investments in the Brooklyn retail market since before COVID.
In this episode of Coffee & Cap Rates, Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, and Ariel Partner, Sean R. Kelly, Esq., interview Justin Pelsinger, COO of Charney Companies, who will be one of the panelists at Ariel's next Coffee & Cap Rates event 8:30-11 am on Wednesday, July 30. Pelsinger discussed how and why his firm became a pioneer developer in Gowanus and the recent acquisition by Charney and Tavros Capital of a vested 421-a site at 175 Third Street where the developers are planning 1,000 residences across approximately 1 million square feet. The project will be the fourth building in their Gowanus Wharf campus. When completed, Charney and Tavros will have developed and will own over 2 million square feet and 2,200 residences in Gowanus, making them the largest owner in the neighborhood. Pelsinger also discussed New York State's new Housing Policy, which was approved last year, the old 421a tax abatement program versus the new 485x program, and how the 467-m tax incentive is encouraging office to residential conversions.
In this podcast, Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, discusses Ariel's Brooklyn 2024 Year-End Commercial Real Estate Trends report with Brooklyn experts Partner Sean R. Kelly, Esq., and Director Stephen Vorvolakos. Overall, the dollar volume of investment sales in Brooklyn rose to $7.15 billion in 2024, a 37% increase compared to 2023, and transactions increased 5% to 890 year-over-year. Mr. Vorvolakos said nearly 50% of the dollar volume in Brooklyn last year was in the multifamily sector, which totaled $3.5 billion, a 59% increase from 2023. He noted that investors last year shied away from rent stabilized assets but were attracted to smaller tax-class protected multifamily properties that were fully free market. Also, brick and mortar retail came back in a big way with $641.5 million in sales including Empire State Realty Trust's acquisition of the L3 Capital Commercial Portfolio in Williamsburg for $143 million, or $2,050/SF. Mr. Kelly noted that development sales increased 10% to $1.33 billion. After the new Housing Policy approved last year introduced the 485x tax abatement, developers returned to the market making bids and chasing assets. Finally, industrial increased 59% to $1.1 billion, as last mile logistics remained a driving force in that market. More information is available in Ariel's Brooklyn 2024 Year-End Commercial Real Estate Trends report.
Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, Michael Tortorici, Founding Partner, and Sean R. Kelly, Esq. Partner, discuss highlights from the recently approved City of Yes for Housing Opportunity plan, which will add more than 80,000 new apartments over 15 years and invest $5 billion in infrastructure updates and housing. The partners explore how the new initiative will add housing in neighborhoods throughout New York City, increase the density of some development sites, promote office conversions, allow new development on large campuses and much more. A summary of the City of Yes is available here.
In this podcast, Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, discusses Ariel's Brooklyn 2024 Mid-Year Commercial Real Estate Trends report with Brooklyn experts Partner Sean R. Kelly, Esq., and Director Stephen Vorvolakos. Overall, investment sales in Brooklyn rose to $3.36 billion in 1H 2024, a 43% increase compared to 2H 2023 and 18% increase compared to 1H 2023. In the multifamily market, Mr. Vorvolakos said owners are adjusting their pricing, which is creating opportunities for investors. The average cap rate rose to 6.48% in 1H 2024, the highest level since 2012, which can be attributed to elevated interest rates and uncertainty about new regulations. In the development market, Mr. Kelly said the new 485x tax incentive, the successor to 421a, is breathing new life back into the development market. Also, local developers are partnering with institutional capital and building farther into the borough. More details about the Brooklyn market are available in the Brooklyn 2024 Mid-Year Commercial Real Estate Trends report.
In this roundtable discussion, Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, and his Partners Victor Sozio, Michael A. Tortorici and Sean R. Kelly unpack the new housing policy included in the New York State FY 2025 Budget.Overall, the Ariel team sees the new initiatives as positive, especially for housing creation, but challenging for existing multifamily owners because some free market units will now be regulated and increased apartment improvement allowances for rent regulated units won't be high enough to make a meaningful difference except possibly in the outer boroughs.To read a summary of the state's new housing policy, please click here.

Travel Agent Chatter | Starting and Growing Your Travel Agency
In episode 145 Steph co-hosts with Connie Miller of Montecito Travel and they tackle your probing and ever-helpful questions. 1. I would love a conversation about how to execute charging fees when different trips take such a different amount of time. Some people know what they want - some don't. I've been experimenting and every person I've given an hourly fee (I've tested it at $75 and $100) and my estimated timeline, they've passed on my services. So I haven't gotten any fees in the six months I've been working on this. I've had some great success, but I have also wasted a ton of time with people shopping me and then taking my itinerary and booking it elsewhere to save $20 (especially on FIT trips). I've got to take control of my time and energy and make sure I'm spending time with the right people. But I have no idea how to actually implement fees and what a reasonable rate/package is. And I don't want to scare off people who could become great clients. --Kristina C. 2. Are Interline rates accessible by any travel agent? Hosting agency? I'm a newbie here looking for a HA -- majority of friends, family and neighbors are airline employees, so this would be a rather large target market for me (and frankly my niche in the cruise market). I'm familiar with Perx/ID90/Interliner, etc-- but can a new agent under a hosting agency access these rates? Or is there some sort of authorization process an agent needs to obtain in order to book these rates for clients? –Sean R. 3. Can you help me understand the technology needed to be a travel agent? What is most important if you are on a budget? –Jamie T.

In this podcast, Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, Partner Sean R. Kelly, Esq. and Director Alexander Taic explore how developers are seeking 421a vested sites specifically in Northwest Queens and Jamaica, and Beacon Wind Land's purchase of 31-01 20th Avenue, which accounted for approximately one-third of the development dollar volume. They also examine trends in the multifamily market and what to expect in the next six to 12 months.
