Lev Mavashev of Alpha Realty and George Gianopoulos of King’s Capital break down what is really happening in the New York City multifamily market, from record high rents and extreme supply constraints to the sharp divide between prime assets and rent stabilized buildings.


In this episode, they explain how boutique firms are competing with institutional players, why foreign capital is aggressively buying NYC multifamily, how value add strategies actually work on the ground, and what investors, brokers, and operators should expect as activity ramps up heading into 2026.
