The Crexi Commercial Real Estate Podcast | CRE Insights & Strategies Jordan Glaubinger on Shaping NYC's Skyline Through Data
Jordan Glaubinger shares his insights on new development research, NYC's historic inventory crunch, and what developers must understand to succeed in today's market.
The Crexi Podcast connects commercial real estate (CRE) professionals with industry insights built for smart decision-making. In each episode, we explore the latest trends, innovations and opportunities shaping commercial real estate, because we believe knowledge should move at the speed of ambition and every conversation should empower professionals to act with greater clarity and confidence.
In this episode, host Shanti Ryle sits down with Jordan Glaubinger, Research Director at Corcoran Sunshine, to discuss the latest trends, insights, and strategies shaping New York City's new development market. They explore Jordan's journey from a GW real estate club internship to leading market intelligence at one of NYC's most prominent new development sales and marketing firms.
They also delve into how Corcoran Sunshine advises developers from site acquisition through final sellout, the unprecedented inventory shortage gripping Manhattan, and the growing role of AI in real estate research and marketing. Jordan shares his contrarian take that low inventory won't immediately spike prices — and why the City of Yes policy has him optimistic about NYC's development future.
