New York, NY, January 20, 2012 --(PR.com)-- With over $24 billion in sales, the commercial real estate market in New York City saw a sharp recovery in 2011 from its recessionary lows, up 32% over 2010, and up a staggering 193% over 2009, according to an analysis released by PropertyShark.

The market had a solid performance throughout the year, with its peak in the third quarter of 2011, when it recorded $9.37 billion in sales, a level not seen since 2007.

The rebound of the commercial sector was driven by large transactions, of $5 million and above, which accounted for 86%, or $20.8 billion, of all real estate commercial transactions recorded in the City. The 10 largest transactions accounted for $5.76 billion in volume alone, bringing the Y-o-Y volume increase to 35%, and up 245% over 2009, for the $5 million and over category.

Moreover, the median sale price for the segment has reached a 7-year peak, and arguably an all-time high. The median sale price for the category was $11,719,595, up 24% over 2010, and up 19% from 2007, when the market reached its peak with almost $45 billion in sales.

The office market, which makes up more than half of all commercial real estate sales in New York City, has seen $13.4 billion in sales, up 38% Y-o-Y, clearly outperforming the multifamily sector. The later saw $6.9 billion in sales, a ‘modest’ 14% Y-o-Y compared to the office sector.
