New York Apartment Building Data

This page publishes New York apartment building data for the 247 buildings tracked in the NewYorkApartmentBuildings.com directory — floors, apartment count, year built and owner or manager, organized by borough and then by neighborhood across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, current as of October 2026. Every figure below is calculated directly from the same building-level records shown on each building’s own listing page, so the New York apartment building data here always matches what appears on the individual listings. The directory does not record building amenities or transit, so this page publishes no amenity or transit figures; confirm pets, parking, laundry, air conditioning and fitness facilities with each building’s leasing office.

What the New York Apartment Building Data Shows

Four patterns stand out across the 247 buildings in the directory as of October 2026:

• Most of the inventory dates from 2000 or later. Of the 247 buildings, all with a recorded year built, 84 — roughly 34% — were completed in 2015 or later, and 169 — roughly 68% — in 2000 or later.
• Manhattan holds most of the directory. 171 of the 247 buildings (69%) and 85,777 of the 123,248 apartments are in Manhattan, spread across 29 neighborhoods; Brooklyn has 44 buildings, Queens 27 and the Bronx 5. The directory has no Staten Island buildings.
• Nearly every building has ten floors or more. 243 of the 247 buildings have ten or more floors, and the median building has 31 floors.
• The newest stock is outside Manhattan. The median year built is 2021 in the Bronx, 2018 in Brooklyn and 2017 in Queens, against 2001 in Manhattan.

Building Age

All 247 buildings in the directory have a recorded year built. Of these, 38 were built before 1980, 40 between 1980 and 1999, 85 between 2000 and 2014, and 84 in 2015 or later. Recorded years run from 1898 to 2026, with a median of 2008.

1980–1999	40
2000–2014	85
2015 or later	84

Building Height, Unit Count, and Average Year Built by Borough

Across the directory, buildings range from 84 to 8,757 apartments, with a median of 375. The largest by apartment count is StuyTown in Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village, Manhattan, with 8,757 apartments; the tallest is 8 Spruce Street in the Financial District, at 76 floors. Because one very large or very old building can pull an average a long way in a borough with few buildings, the median columns are the better guide for the Bronx.

Who Owns or Manages the Buildings

Each listing records the company that owns or manages the building, as named by the building’s public source. The field is filled for 244 of the 247 buildings and names 61 different companies; 34 of those appear on a single building. The eight most frequent names together account for 149 buildings. The counts below are simply how often each name appears in the directory; they are not a ranking or a measure of quality. Names are counted exactly as recorded, so a joint entry such as two companies listed together is counted as its own name.

The table lists every name recorded on three or more buildings. Every listing also links the public source its figures were taken from, so a building’s owner or manager, apartment count, year built and floor count can be checked against that source directly.

Apartment Buildings by Borough and Neighborhood

The directory places every building in a borough and in one of 48 neighborhoods. Each borough is summarised below, followed by a table of its neighborhoods, so a single figure can be read without reference to the tables above. Counts are of buildings published in this directory; many neighborhoods have only a handful of buildings, so their medians describe very few buildings. Median year built and floor range are reported alongside the averages given earlier, because a median is less affected by a single very old or very tall building than an average is.

How This New York Apartment Building Data Is Compiled

Every number on this page comes from the structured fields attached to individual building listings in the NewYorkApartmentBuildings.com directory — not from third-party feeds, survey estimates, or modeled projections. Each listing’s figures are compiled from a public source rather than estimated, and that source is linked on the listing. When a building’s floor count, unit count, year built or owner/manager is corrected on its listing, the totals here change with it.

The directory is a free-to-browse index of 247 large New York City rental apartment buildings; the buildings listed range from 84 to 8,757 apartments. It is not a census of New York City rental housing, and it is not finished: more buildings are being added. By mailing address, 171 buildings are in New York (Manhattan), 44 in Brooklyn, 23 in Long Island City and 4 in Astoria (both Queens), and 5 in the Bronx. Borough and neighborhood groupings follow the directory’s own building pages; a building’s street address is the precise reference. A blank field on a listing means the value could not be confirmed, not that it is absent. Floor count, apartment count and year built are currently recorded for all 247 buildings, and owner or manager for 244. The directory does not record amenities or transit, so no amenity or transit shares are calculated.

To work with the underlying records directly, browse the full A–Z building index or the building map; the largest apartment buildings in New York City and New York apartment buildings by decade pages sort the same records by size and by age. For citywide housing context beyond this directory, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey publishes housing unit and occupancy estimates for U.S. cities and counties.

Data current as of October 7, 2026, based on the 247 buildings currently published in the NewYorkApartmentBuildings.com directory. Figures are recalculated as buildings are added, updated, or removed. For a specific building’s own facts and their source, see its listing page.
