According to the latest Real Estate Statistics, NY state has approved only 12 buildings for residential co-op conversion so far this decade—and just two last year.In fact, condos outsold co-ops in the first half of 2006 in Manhattan—a notable feat, considering that more than 75 percent of the borough’s for-sale housing is co-op. In the first quarter of 2007, according to Miller Samuel, 1,771 co-ops traded hands to 1,703 condos—a near dead heat, all things considered. Read more...

According to the latest Real Estate Statistics, NY state has approved only 12 buildings for residential co-op conversion so far this decade—and just two last year.In fact, condos outsold co-ops in the first half of 2006 in Manhattan—a notable feat, considering that more than 75 percent of the borough’s for-sale housing is co-op. In the first quarter of 2007, according to Miller Samuel, 1,771 co-ops traded hands to 1,703 condos—a near dead heat, all things considered.

The likelihood is slim that Manhattan will soon see again a co-op creation boom on a par with that of the late 1980’s. Condos remain the for-sale housing development of choice among developers, lenders and marketers; and even newer rentals have crept onto the scene.

A lot of the newer condos have sprung from conversions of rental buildings. But even rentals remain a generally more appealing moneymaker for landlords than turning a building co-op; many Manhattan neighborhoods now command their highest rents ever.

At this time, you find that vacant apartments can be rented at fair-market rents that are not stabilized,” said Arthur Weinstein, a Manhattan attorney who has been involved in residential conversions since the 1970’s. “Many landlords in the 1980’s went co-op just to take their apartments out of rent control or rent stabilization.

Co-ops, not so much: The only co-op approved by the state this year in Manhattan—at 319-321 West 14th Street—has three units total.
