My Hot Take on The Big Apple’s Realty Resurgence
If this article were a movie, Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh would be the hero who warns the town of an incoming meteor, only to discover it’s a gorgeous firework. Just when you thought New York City was beaten down beyond repair, it’s come back charging like a Broadway peacock after the pandemic blues… only this time, with more pomp and tower cranes.
Gone are the days when New York’s skyline was filled with “For Sale” signs amidst the silence. Welcome back to the hustle and bustle, the heart-throbbing rhythm of life that only a city like NYC could bring. The essence of this revival? Every cloud (even the ones as dark and heavy as a pandemic) indeed has a silver lining.
In retrospect, the fact that big cities like New York continue to thrive in the midst of a global crisis isn’t surprising at all. They’ve always been the resilient ones, haven’t they? New York has seen worse days – blackouts, financial crises, you name it – this pandemic was just another story to add to its anthology of survival.
And as for the naysayers preaching about the decline of metropolises, let’s not forget: Mark Twain once reemerged from his rumoured demise to famously quip, “The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” Well, rumor has it, NYC muttered the same words this year. Mic drop!
So here’s to the rebound of real estate, the revival of big cities, and to New York City – the unwavering emblem of resilience and revival in the face of adversity. Time to invest in a New York minute, because Gotham City ain’t going anywhere!
