Demand for Manhattan apartments is crazy high, it's just illegal for taller ones to be built to meet demand most of the time.
People think Manhattan is mostly skyscrapers, but the reality is very different. Only a small portion of the land has high rises on it, just glance at Google Maps with 3D view on.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoManhattan is mostly multi level apartment buildings, at least 4 stories or so. I don't know why your point would contradict mine. Yes, units in the taller skyscrapers are more expensive and sell for tens of millions of dollars, if not more. I wonder how NYC would do with cheap 30 story Chinese concrete apartment blocks? (30 stories, because any taller requires steel, at least with construction practices that use cheap migrant labor).
