The Knakal

Map Room

The Knakal Map Room is the ultimate resource for anyone seeking in-depth market intelligence on Manhattan's land sales and development landscape. It offers an extensive, real-time snapshot of the development construction pipeline, every potential development site, possible assemblage opportunities and other potential development transactions across the borough.

Data-driven

The Knakal Map Room is a cutting-edge resource combining historical data, real-time updates, and advanced analytics to empower developers and investors with unparalleled insights into New York City’s land development landscape.

  • Dynamic Updates: As construction projects progress, new sites are identified, or market conditions change, the map and database are updated to provide the latest information.
  • ‍Real-Time Resource: This ensures the map serves as a real-time tool for tracking land development in New York City.
  • ‍Pandemic Origins: The map was initially created in 2020 during the pandemic through field inspections as Bob Knakal personally drove and walked each block south of 96th Street on the eastside and 110th Street on the westside.
  • ‍Historical Data: The Knakal Map Room includes a development site comparable sales study dating back to 1984, analyzing every development site sold over the past four decades.
  • ‍AI Integration: Advanced AI models are embedded in the data to predict emerging trends, providing developers and investors with actionable insights into future opportunities.
  • ‍Comprehensive Database: The Knakal Map Room features a detailed buyer’s database, encompassing developers responsible for projects ranging from four-unit buildings to the largest developments in the city.
  • ‍Client Advantage: All data within The Knakal Map Room equips BKREA clients with the tools to make more informed and smarter decisions.

220 hours of fieldwork

The Knakal Map Room is a meticulously curated resource, created through extensive fieldwork, offering a comprehensive and visually engaging pipeline of New York City development projects.

  • Extensive Fieldwork: The Knakal Map Room was developed through 220 hours of fieldwork during the pandemic, ensuring the most up-to-date pipeline of development projects.
  • Organized Pipeline: The data is disaggregated into five buckets: residential rental, residential condo, hotel, office, and miscellaneous (for projects outside the first four categories).
  • Color-Coded Highlights: The Map features pending, active, potential sites, and possible assemblages marked color-coded for easy differentiation.
  • Ongoing Updates: Since its creation in 2020, BKREA has continuously tracked demolition, building, and construction permits to keep The Map current.
  • Massive Scale: The 24-foot by 10-foot map covers all of Manhattan, offering an unmatched, detailed view of the development landscape.
  • Memorable Impact: The Map creates an unforgettable experience for visitors with its array of color-coded highlights and post-its marking sold properties, available sites, and categorized development opportunities.‍
  • Five-Bucket Categorization: All data on The Map is categorized into the five development buckets, providing clarity and actionable insights for BKREA clients.
