Queens Jamaica Site Deal Tees Up 700 Homes

Image
What’s Planned at 93-30 165th Street At 93-30 165th Street in Downtown Jamaica, a joint venture of Cirrus Real Estate Partners and Resorts World is preparing to replace an underused parking garage site with a major housing project of up to 700 homes. The plan centers on converting the longtime garage property into a large mixed-use development. Earlier reports cited more than 600 apartments, and the project is described as the buyers’ first workforce-housing development. The acquisition marks the venture’s first project under a workforce housing initiative launched last May. Similar large-scale urban projects have shown how mixed-use spaces can help integrate housing, retail, and community activity. The site offers more than 600,000 buildable square feet under flexible C6-2/R8 zoning. Marketing materials cited about 504,597 square feet of as-of-right residential area and 604,444 square feet under UAP. Earlier listings described Archer Square as a corner mixed-use site.

Image
Manhattan 7-Building Portfolio Sells for $81M A seven-building portfolio of prewar residential properties in Lower Manhattan sold for $81 million in a single transaction, according to public property records. The package comprised 125 residential units and occupied retail space, underscoring a mixed-use income profile in tightly held neighborhoods. Public filings show the deal covered Lower Manhattan assets rather than a citywide collection. One identified property, 185 East Houston Street, is a six-story, 31-unit apartment building on the Lower East Side that recorded a $30.8 million sale price.

JLL’s involvement in marketing the broader S&H portfolio also points to...

Washington Yards Selloff Looms, Staff Cuts Hit

Image
What Brookfield Is Selling at The Yards Brookfield is testing the market with a targeted selloff at The Yards. JLL is marketing the so-called Yards Mixed-Use Collection, a trio of retail and mixed-use properties totaling nearly 92,000 square feet. The package includes two new waterfront buildings and one 105-year-old redeveloped property in Navy Yard. Together, the assets are stabilized and 96% leased. The portfolio carries a 7.2-year WALT , reflecting relatively durable in-place income. That suggests they are mature, income-producing holdings with limited tenant turnover and established lease terms. Similar mixed-use districts elsewhere are being reshaped by projects like Denver’s $1 billion River Mile phase, which is aimed at downtown transformation. Named tenants include Bluejacket, District Winery, and Osteria Morini. All three are widely recognized as Navy Yard institutions. Their presence underscores the portfolio’s food-and-beverage-heavy character within a broader mixed-use wa...

San Francisco Office Lease Jolts Troubled District

Image
What San Francisco Approved at 1455 Market San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to the city’s existing agreement at 1455 Market Street. The move advanced a 21-year lease expansion that stood as the city’s largest office deal since 2018. The contract approval pushed forward a long-term commitment in Mid-Market. It also extended the agreement from May 2024 through April 2045. The expansion adds 502,000 square feet, bringing the city’s total footprint in the tower to roughly 930,000 square feet as part of a major expansion . Comparable public-sector office investments elsewhere, such as Sacramento’s downtown revitalization efforts, have been framed as catalysts for broader urban recovery. City officials still required Mayor Daniel Lurie’s sign-off before the transaction could close. Strategic Terms The approval also included two five-year extension options. Those options could carry the lease through April 2055. It provided a three-year option to add more space. It ...

San Francisco Investor Share Hits Record, Alarm Rings

Image
San Francisco Investor Share Hit a Record Surging investor demand pushed San Francisco to a record threshold in late 2025. Investors accounted for 25% of all home purchases, according to Redfin-related reporting. That share marked a 24% year-over-year increase in the fourth quarter. It ranked third nationally by annual gain. The surge unfolded as San Francisco’s housing rebound intensified alongside AI-driven wealth creation and renewed demand. High prices, later reflected in a record $2.15 million median in March 2026, reinforced conditions that often attract capital-heavy buyers. Meanwhile, the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust closed $184 million in financing for ElevenEleven Residences, its largest commitment ever to a single project. Earlier Bay Area data had already shown investors purchasing one in five homes. That signaled unusually persistent activity even after some cooling. Across the West, rising supply in places like Seattle pointed to inventory growth reshaping buyer lev...
