Per the latest news of another new JC tower at 555 Summit Ave, I wanted to get a sense of the scale of development in the city compared to NYC. This is probably not a comprehensive list but these are most of the major developments I could find on YIMBY:

(~11,000 units U/C)
For comparison, Gowanus has just over 7,000 units under construction, which I am assuming has now overtaken LIC as NYC’s fastest building neighborhood.
Another comparison you could draw is that JC is building a neighborhood the size of Gramercy from the ground up, likely over 10% of the current population of the city.
Bravo JC
