"A shiny new set of maps from the Department of City Planning makes it easier than ever to see which neighborhoods are actually pulling their weight in solving New York's housing crunch and which ones are barely building at all. According to the city's updated Housing Production Snapshot 2024, a record-breaking 33,974 homes were completed last year, the most in nearly 60 years. But the new interactive tools released by DCP show that boom time still looks pretty uneven depending on where you zoom in."
"In 2023, Bronx districts 1, 4, 5 and 7 and Brooklyn districts 1, 2, 5 and 8 led the way, along with Queens 1 and 2. By 2024, Brooklyn reclaimed the top spot, responsible for about 40 percent of all new homes-13,732 units-while the Bronx added 6,526 and Queens 8,061. Manhattan, once the city's construction engine, lagged behind again with 4,841 new units, and Staten Island barely registered at 814."
"Clicking through the map reveals hyper-local stories of construction highs and lows. Long Island City-Hunters Point topped all Neighborhood Tabulation Areas with 1,859 completed units, more than 1,300 of them part of two Hunter's Point South towers. Spring Creek-Starrett City led 2024's permits with 1,664 units, while Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Gowanus and Red Hook now holds the largest pipeline of future homes."
New York City completed a record 33,974 homes in 2024, the highest annual total in nearly 60 years. Housing production was highly uneven, with only 10 of 59 community districts producing as many units as the other 49 combined. Brooklyn accounted for roughly 40 percent of new units with 13,732, the Bronx added 6,526, Queens 8,061, Manhattan 4,841 and Staten Island 814. Localized hotspots included Long Island City-Hunters Point and Spring Creek-Starrett City, and several Brooklyn neighborhoods now hold the largest pipelines of future homes. Permits totaled 15,626, similar to 2023 but well below pre-2022 levels.
