NYC’s Economic Engine
New York City wouldn’t be New York City without the work of the real estate industry. And that’s not just about our iconic skyline – it’s about the positive impacts the industry has on the lives of millions of everyday New Yorkers.
The vital tax revenue generated by real estate market activity pays for the basic government services that City residents rely on – everything from garbage collection to public schools and parks, from social services to police and firefighters, and much more.
In addition to generating the necessary funds for public sector employment and resources, the real estate and construction industries are an important source of family-sustaining jobs for New Yorkers.
