Home Builder Marketing in New York City
Building new homes in New York means infill lots in Queens and Brooklyn, townhouses on Staten Island, small multifamily buildings, and an all-electric code for new construction. We help home builders and developers across the five boroughs market projects to buyers, renters, and partners, with project microsites, neighborhood-targeted campaigns, and a CRM that follows each prospect from the first floor plan download to contract.
New construction in the five boroughs
Very little new housing
New construction is a sliver of the stock: just 27,289 homes, under one percent of 3,678,486, date from 2020 onward in the latest five-year Census data. County Business Patterns counted 946 single-family home builders and 206 multifamily builders across the boroughs in 2023, with Queens leading single-family work at 388. New homes are rare enough that a well-marketed project stands out.
New rules for new buildings
Since January 1, 2024, Local Law 154 has kept fossil fuel heat out of new buildings under seven stories, including one- and two-family homes, and most taller new construction follows in July 2027. Local Laws 92 and 94 add solar or green roof requirements for new roofs. And the City of Yes zoning overhaul, approved by the Council in December 2024, opens more lots to modest new housing.
Selling new homes in New York
All-electric as a feature
Heat pumps, induction cooking, and solar are now standard in many new city homes. Presented well, they become selling points for buyers who care about efficiency and comfort.
Projects need their own pages
Each development deserves a site or landing page with floor plans, renderings, neighborhood context, and availability, rather than a line on a corporate page.
Brokers and buyers both
Many new home sales come through brokers. Agent previews, co-op materials, and broker campaigns alongside direct buyer marketing widen the pipeline considerably.

Questions and answers
With a dedicated project site, strong renderings and floor plans, a register-your-interest list, and targeted ads for the neighborhood. Regular updates to registrants during construction keep interest warm until units are available.
It means new buildings under seven stories, including one- and two-family homes, have been built without on-site fossil fuel heat since 2024. Builders can present heat pumps, induction, and efficiency as benefits, explaining comfort and operating details clearly to buyers.
The City Council adopted City of Yes for Housing Opportunity on December 5, 2024, a zoning text change meant to make room for modest amounts of new housing across neighborhoods. Builders exploring new opportunities can use content and outreach to reach landowners and partners.
