Queens-based real estate firm Modern Spaces has released their 2017 fourth-quarter market report and one clear takeaway is that the year brought a huge amount of new rental units to the borough, and especially to the Long Island City area. Eric Benaim, the company's president and founder, says;

“A deluge of rental units brought to market marked the busiest year yet in Long Island City. The overall price of rentals was down 6 percent for the quarter and 9 percent from this time last year. Several new buildings came online during the year, leading to the softening prices as well as increasing concessions, which include a number of buildings offering 3 months of free rent on 24-month leases. With thousands of units remaining in the pipeline and set to come online in the near future, this trend appears to be just beginning.”
