The initiative further strengthens BKREA's position as a leader in data-driven commercial real estate advisory services.

Key Takeaways from the BKREA Air Rights Comparable Sales Database Launch

  • Bringing Transparency to a Historically Opaque Market

Air rights transactions have historically been among the most difficult segments of the New York City real estate market to analyze due to limited publicly available transaction data. BKREA's new database is designed to provide market participants with greater visibility into comparable sales and valuation metrics.

  • Supporting More Accurate Valuations

The platform enables owners and developers to better understand pricing benchmarks for transferable development rights, helping improve valuation accuracy and transaction decision-making. BKREA continues to expand its use of proprietary data and analytics to support client advisory services.

The Air Rights Comparable Sales Database joins a growing suite of BKREA intelligence platforms, including the Knakal Map Room, Knakal Land Index research initiatives, AI-powered analytics tools, and the firm's expanding market intelligence infrastructure.

  • Increased Demand for Air Rights Transactions

BKREA has identified growing interest in transferable development rights transactions throughout New York City, particularly following regulatory changes that have expanded transfer opportunities for landmarked properties and other eligible development rights.
