They discuss financing options and highlight findings from Ariel’s Q2 2025 Multifamily Quarter in Review New York City.

  • Over 70% of the dollar volume and over 50% of the transactions were concentrated in affordable and rent stabilized assets.
  • Related Companies sold a 36-building rent stabilized portfolio in the Bronx to PH Realty Capital LLC for $189 million, discounted from the $253 million Related paid for the same properties in 2014.
  • Ariel arranged the sale of Ocean Park Apartments, a 602-unit affordable housing building in Far Rockaway to Tredway for $88 million.
  • The bid/ask spread is tightening for rent stabilized assets because seller motivation has increased in recent quarters.
  • Free market properties have started to increase in value but are still below peak.
  • Financing for multifamily is getting more attractive.
