Every NYC building sits on a piece of land with a value of its own — separate from whatever it earns in rent. We tell owners what a developer would actually pay for their site, and why that number is often higher than they think.
Most owners only ever price their building one way. Here's the number that's usually missing.
Divide your Net Operating Income by a cap rate and you get an income value — what your building is worth as a running business. This is the number most brokers quote.
Multiply your lot size by its allowable FAR and benchmark against current $/buildable-square-foot comps, and you get a land value — what a developer would pay to build something bigger. This is the number most owners never ask for.
Three steps to find out what your New York City site is worth to a developer.
Property type, borough, address, and current use — including zoning-relevant details like vacancy status and any tenancy. Takes under 3 minutes.
We check your site's buildable square footage, recent development-site comparables in your submarket, and whether tax incentives like 467-m or 485-x apply.
We reach out within 24 hours with your site's indicative land value alongside its income value — so you know which one is actually higher.
