What is biggest

The biggest things New York is building right now.

Counted from the filings, not from a list anyone keeps: the tallest still open reaches 150 storeys, and Green Design has 646 filings open.

Tallest open filings

Storey counts as proposed on the filing, drawn from 14,752 open filings that publish one. Proposed is not built: a filing can be withdrawn, revised down, or never started.

Practices with the most open filings

The applicant of record is the licensed professional or practice that submitted the filing — not the contractor, the owner or the designer. A count of filings is a measure of volume and of nothing else.

Where the new buildings are

New building filings by neighbourhood, across 225 neighbourhoods with filings on record.

Where the demolitions are

Full demolition filings by neighbourhood. A demolition filing is an application to take a building down; it is not a record that one has come down.

How to read any of this

Every figure is a count of filings in the current snapshot, recomputed on every release, and the catalog is a rolling window over the city’s own records rather than a complete history. A neighbourhood at the top of a list is where the most has been filed, which is not the same as where the most has been built.
