Guide to Buying in a New Construction Condo, Part 1 + 25 Boutique New Developments in Brooklyn and Queens

By CityRealty Staff | From Future New York Tuesday, February 25, 2025

Various new development condos recently launched in Brooklyn and Queens

Purchasing a new development unit comes with many advantages, yet the process differs from buying a resale or pre-existing condo, coop, or single-family home. This four-part CityRealty Market Insight guide presents a step-by-step breakdown of essential information for buying a new development unit — from discovering potential listings and securing financing to negotiating with developers and preparing for the closing and move-in, this comprehensive guide aims to equip you with the knowledge needed to make your experience of buying a new construction condo as seamless as possible. Part one is an overview to guide you in initiating your search for new developments.

What is a New Development Condo

A new development condo is a sponsor unit (i.e., a unit owned by a developer or investor) in a new development. As such, the transaction occurs between a buyer and a developer.

However, sponsor units aren’t found exclusively in new developments. Occasionally, sponsor units are listed in older buildings, even pre-war buildings that were converted into coops decades after construction. This is because sponsors often keep some units off the market, slowly releasing them over time (e.g., when the coop or condo needs money for capital projects).

What new development condo units and sponsor units in existing buildings have in common is that, unlike other purchases in NYC, buyers don’t need to undergo board approval to purchase these units. As a result, they are often especially advantageous for foreign buyers and anyone else who may find it difficult to pass a coop board interview. On the flip side, purchasing a new development condo or sponsor unit also carries additional tax liabilities.

Where to Find New Construction Condos

In 2024, over 1,600 new development sponsor units were signed across Manhattan, a 15% increase year-over-year. In addition to the current activity in Manhattan, new condo developments continue to open in Brooklyn and Queens. As a result, if you’re currently looking to buy a residence or invest in New York City real estate, there are plenty of options in the new construction condo market.

Despite Brooklyn and Western Queens’ expanding condo market, Manhattan continues to lead the condo market. Manhattan's new development units tend to be higher end than their outer-borough counterparts. Notable luxury projects to launch in the coming two years include 262 Fifth Avenue, 985 Fifth Avenue, and 80 Clarkson Street.

Narrowing Your Search

Before you start your search, clarify your desires and needs as a buyer. After all, if you’re buying a new construction condo because you’re looking for a pied-a-terre in New York City, you’ll need to find a building that permits part-time residents. If you only intend to live in the unit part-time, you may also not require certain amenities (e.g., an on-site playroom for children or on-site storage). By contrast, if you’re looking for a home in which to raise a young family, those amenities or lack thereof could make or break a deal. The more precise you are about why you’re buying and your specific needs, the easier it will be to narrow your search based on critical factors such as location, design features, amenities, and services.

Pros and Cons of Buying Early vs. Closer to the Move-in Date

When purchasing a new construction condo, there are significant advantages and disadvantages associated with buying early and closer to the development’s completion. The earlier you purchase, the more likely you’ll be able to negotiate concessions (e.g., shared closed costs). In addition, an early purchase can come with other perks, including the ability to dictate the final layout of the apartment.

There are also disadvantages to buying early, including limited options for financing and higher risks. Among other risks, there is no guarantee the building will look like its architectural rendering, reach completion on time, or that the condo’s value will hold steady or increase by the time the development opens its doors to residents.

Purchasing a new construction condo closer to the move-in date also presents advantages and disadvantages. Closer to move-in, you will likely have less negotiating power but benefit from a broader range of financing options. While you may have limited ability to shape the final layout of or finishes in your unit, you will confront fewer unknowns. Closer to move-in, you’ll likely even be able to visit a completed version of your unit. Most importantly, you’ll likely be able to get a more accurate move-in date.

Always Work with an Expert Buyer’s Agent and Real Estate Attorney

Like any other type of real estate purchase in New York City, buying a new development unit is a complex process. Even if you’re an experienced buyer, you’ll want to work with an expert buyer’s agent, ideally one with ample experience negotiating directly with developers. Start your search here. In addition to finding a talented buyer’s agent, you must contract with a real estate attorney. The sooner you get your team in place, the sooner you can start making offers on your next home or investment property.

The rise of Boutique New Development in Brooklyn and Queens

Due to limited land availability, zoning requirements, and the high cost of construction, Manhattan is witnessing fewer new residential high-rises compared to previous years. However, across the East River, a growing number of boutique condominiums are emerging in Brooklyn and Queens. Some are newly constructed, while others involve the conversion of rental or commercial buildings into for-sale residences.

While these smaller buildings may not offer as many amenities as their high-rise counterparts, they often provide essential features for a comfortable living experience, such as central air conditioning, in-unit washer/dryer, storage, and sometimes common outdoor space. Thanks to Brooklyn's lower density and quieter commercial districts, many of these developments are situated on tranquil, tree-lined streets, offering residents a reprieve from Manhattan's hustle and bustle. Despite the substantial rise in new development prices in Brooklyn in recent years, units in some neighborhoods still sell for less than half the price of similar listings in Manhattan's upscale neighborhoods.
