Located at street level in the JACX building at the northern end of Jackson Avenue, the restaurant serves seasonal market-driven comfort food in a light, airy and high-ceilinged room.

LAST week I received an email from a reader who shared that the rent on her 3-br was recently increased from $6,900 to $7,900 a month. ‘Interesting data point’ I thought whilst simultaneously calculating in my head its equating to a 14.5% boost and wondering ‘I’ve seen the recent “Highest NYC Rents Ever” headlines of the past month, but what other local semi-anecdotal data points are available out there?’

REAL estate steps back into the headlines this week. First off a pair of affordable housing lotteries in LIC were announced. The bigger one is for 288 units at the massive 71-story Sven Tower in Queens Plaza. One bedrooms are $2,189, 2-br’s $3,328, and 3-br’s are $3,843 – if you win lotto. For comparisons sake, a reminder that market rate apartments at the relatively new American Copper Towers in Manhattan had 1-br’s starting at $4,958 and 2-br’s at $8,067, and I’m guessing similar market-rate apartments along the LIC waterfront are going for a 25-35% discount to these.
