HVS Market Intelligence Report: Downtown Brooklyn, New York
When we talk about "gateway" cities, Brooklyn is the real deal. Immigrants have come to the U.S. through Brooklyn for centuries, and the area's exponential expansion has resulted in approximately 2.5 million residents, 33,000 businesses, 410,000 employees, and a legacy of culture and commerce that continues to send out roots. New York's most populous borough offers lower operating costs and ample commercial and industrial space compared with Manhattan, two factors that have helped promote business growth and demand for area hotels.
