-- BKREA, the leading New York City-based commercial real estate development site and rehab property brokerage firm founded by industry icon Bob Knakal, proudly announces a major milestone: the 1,000th visitor to the firm’s renowned Knakal Map Room.
Known as a “must-visit” destination for commercial real estate professionals, The Knakal Map Room has quickly become an industry phenomenon. Spanning 24 feet in length and 10 feet in width, the map showcases every building under construction, potential development site, and major transaction in Manhattan — all meticulously documented and updated by Knakal himself.

Bob Knakal, Chairman and CEO of BKREA, is widely recognized as one of the most successful investment sales brokers in history, having sold over 2,349 properties across his 41-year career. His unparalleled commitment to market research led him to personally walk every block south of 96th Street on the east side and 110th Street on the west side during the pandemic — marking sites by hand with Sanborn tax maps and highlighters.
"The idea was simple but demanding," said Knakal. "To truly understand the market, you have to see it block by block, building by building. That’s the kind of information no database can give you."
Since its creation, the Knakal Map Room has welcomed top real estate developers, college real estate clubs, and government agencies — even attracting visitors from across the country and around the globe. The 1,000th visitor, a real estate investment group based in London, marked a milestone that reflects the Map Room’s growing global reputation.
While the Map Room is visually striking, Knakal emphasizes that its greatest value lies in empowering clients to make smarter, faster decisions.
"The popularity is a bonus," Knakal said. "What really matters is that our clients walk away better informed than anywhere else. Better insights mean better outcomes — and that’s our mission at BKREA."
With its blend of real-time research, historical data — covering all 2,442 development site sales in Manhattan since 1984 — and visual clarity, the Knakal Map Room stands as a testament to BKREA’s dedication to market intelligence and client success.
