NYC Retail Construction & Building Data
Real, live construction activity on New York City retail buildings — storefronts, shopping centers, and department stores, grouped by NYC's own official building classification. See also Office and Hotel property types.
Every figure below is grouped by NYC Department of Finance's own building_class field on real DOB Job Application Filings — a structural/use classification, not a market-condition signal. These are construction and alteration filing counts, not asking rents, vacancy rates, or lease transactions — no public NYC dataset publishes those, so none is shown or estimated here.

Joined from filings of this class to DOB Permit Issuance by job number — the two datasets don't share a single query, so this is the honest bridge between them.
Frequently Asked
- What counts as a retail building in NYC construction data?
- NYC Department of Finance's own building_class codes starting with K — storefronts, shopping centers, and department stores, classified by story count and whether offices or apartments sit above the retail space. This page groups real DOB filings by those official codes.
- Does this page show retail leasing rents or vacancy?
- No — asking rents and vacancy by retail corridor are compiled commercially (CBRE, JLL, REBNY's own retail reports) and aren't published as open data. This page tracks real, live construction and alteration activity instead: retail buildout filings, permits, and the contractors doing the work.
