In the latest Coffee & Cap Rates podcast, Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, Jason Gold, Senior Director, and Daniel Mahfar, Director, discuss multifamily and development market trends in the Bronx as reported in Ariel’s Bronx 2025 Year-End Commercial Real Estate Trends report.

Highlights from the podcast and report include:

  • The Bronx real estate market reached $1.8 billion in 2025, a 46% year-over-year increase, with multifamily dollar volume rising 66% and development up 26%.
  • The average price per unit for multifamily units hit a 7-year low of $105,000, influenced by high interest rates, increased expenses, including insurance and taxes, and anticipated rent freezes for stabilized buildings.
  • Multifamily pricing is expected to remain at a decade-plus low, attracting local owners seeking a low basis relative to the rest of the country.
  • Development activity is forecast to continue an upward trend due to investors’ increased familiarity with the 485x tax abatement and "City of Yes" regulations.
