Is Manhattan luxury real estate experiencing hyper-inflation? It appears so. Whereas 4 months ago every developer (and their bankers) was talking about $ 2,000/sf for the entry level to the downtown luxury new development market, now it appears, just a few months later, that this figure has jumped significantly…..by as much as 25%?  Is this a brief moment or a continued trend? With the depth of the buyer pool, I think this new normal could be here to stay….
