What stood out

A geographic concentration, read with its limits.

Manhattan accounts for 3,139 of the 7,678 included records, or 41% of this weekly set. Brooklyn follows with 1,969 records. These shares describe the records included when this edition was published, not every construction event in New York City.

The filing mix contains 922 new-building records, 6,624 major alterations and 132 full-demolition records. The largest named neighborhood group is Midtown-Times Square, Manhattan with 417 included records.

6,269 records publish an approved-stage status, representing 82% of the weekly set. Approval is an administrative milestone and should not be read as evidence that a site is actively under construction.

Reproducibility note

How this weekly reading was assembled.

  1. Start with records that pass Street Futures’ published inclusion checks: a stable identifier, mapped address, dated status context and sufficient source detail.
  2. Group each record by the latest status date published in the source into a Monday-through-Sunday reporting week.
  3. Count records by borough, neighborhood, filing class and status category. Counts describe records, not unique sites or construction starts.
  4. Retain links to each record and its official NYC source so a reader can inspect the underlying entry.

Proposed unit figures are available in 4,767 of the included records and sum to 327,460 as stated in those filings. This is not a net housing estimate: related applications can refer to the same site, and proposals may change or never be built.
