What person, project, transaction, or market trend had the greatest impact on your industry this year? The most significant market trend for our industry has been the warehouse boom. We handled approvals for well over one million s/f in warehouse projects between 2022 and 2023 in the town of Brookhaven alone. We continue to have large warehouse projects in the pipeline for 2024.

Suffolk County has a dire need for diverse housing, and there seems acceptance within municipalities to approve such projects.
