While the pandemic brought most of New York City to a standstill, Knakal saw an opportunity amidst the crisis. "The lockdown presented a unique chance to explore the city in a way that would have been impossible under normal circumstances," Knakal shared. "I decided to use this time to create the most comprehensive development site map in NYC."
Knakal's project was no small feat. He visited NYC every 7 to 10 days, driving and walking around to inspect all buildings in Manhattan south of 96th Street. This meticulous process, which would have taken 800-1000 hours under normal circumstances, Knakal completed in just 220 hours due to the city's closure.
The result of Knakal's tireless efforts is a meticulously crafted block and lot map, 27 feet long and 12 feet wide. This map highlights an impressive 27,649 buildings, including development sites under construction and potential ones broken down by neighborhood. "Each site was carefully logged using tax maps and highlighters," Knakal explained. "The result is a comprehensive record of the city's development landscape."
"This map is not just a testament to hard work, but a treasure trove of information," Knakal stated. "I plan to convert this wealth of data into opportunities for building owners and developers in the real estate industry."
Knakal's innovative approach to the challenges presented by the pandemic reflects his broader philosophy toward real estate. With a career spanning over three decades, Knakal has brokered more property sales in New York City than any other individual. His dedication to the industry and his innovative strategies have made him a leading figure in the field.
Knakal's latest project is not just about creating a resource for his own use. It's about contributing to a broader understanding of New York City's real estate landscape. "This map is a tool that can help all stakeholders in the real estate industry," Knakal said. "It's about sharing knowledge and fostering a deeper understanding of our city's development potential."
