CoStar Charts

CoStar, a third-party data aggregator, began tracking the New York City Investment Sales Market in 2001. They published their first ranking of brokerage companies based on the number of buildings sold, and to our surprise, Massey Knakal topped that list in its inaugural year. From 2001 to 2014, Massey Knakal consistently held the top position, selling over 4,000 buildings—more than three times the number sold by the second-place firm.

In this section, you’ll find charts displaying these impressive rankings on both an average annual basis and an aggregate from 2001 to 2014. Take a moment to look back at these remarkable achievements and the competitive landscape of that era. It’s interesting to see some names that have since disappeared, including Massey Knakal itself. Enjoy this retrospective on a significant period in New York City’s real estate history.
