Charney Companies, Tavros Break Ground on Fifth Gowanus Development

Why this matters

Mixed-use is where the most interesting urban repositioning is happening. Office-to-residential conversions in Manhattan, Washington, and Philadelphia have moved from pro-forma exercises to closed transactions, and walkable suburban densification is drawing patient capital with longer hold periods than the traditional core or value-add fund structures support. New York continues to bifurcate sharply: trophy office leasing at record rents, commodity Class B in conversion discussions or court-supervised processes. Rent-stabilized multifamily remains supply-constrained and tightly held. For allocators, mixed-use offers exposure to multiple property types within a single basis, which has become attractive as monoline sector forecasts have widened.
