New development is occurring at a breakneck pace throughout New York City, and while much of it is happening on the individual level, a not-inconsequential portion of it is also lumped into megaprojects rising in sync all over the five boroughs. Entire stretches of land are giving rise to new and recreated neighborhoods, as seen with Hudson Yards and Hunters Point South, while other swaths are being appropriated and totally reimagined, like with the planned Red Hook Tech Complex and Cornell Tech's Roosevelt Island campus. These megaprojects will not only bring many thousands of apartmentsboth priced at and below market rateto the city, but they'll also bring along new cultural attractions, retail, and all the hype that has wooed people to New York City from time immemorial.
