New York YIMBY has tallied the records for new building permit filings for the first quarter of 2024, and the results are one for the record books. According to data compiled from permit filings submitted to the Department of Buildings, during the three-month period from January through March, builders throughout the city filed a combined total of 19,819 residential and hotel units, the highest total for any three-month period since YIMBY started tracking the statistic in 2020. Similarly, the combined filed-for square footage of 26 million is also the highest quarterly tally for the decade so far.
Of the 1,044 new building permits, 57 were filed for high-rise buildings standing ten stories and higher, which will boost the skyline and contribute much-needed density in some of the city’s most pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented communities. Below we break down the data via a series of charts and analyses that track the city’s development trends during the year’s first quarter.
