Real Estate Breakfast 2025

Join LIC Partnership for the 20th Annual Real Estate Breakfast on Tuesday, April 8, 2025 where we will discuss the state of the market and network with 300+ business and civic leaders working in western Queens. Join us to learn about updates to projects and policies affecting the future of LIC.

Long Island City (LIC) sits at the geographic center of NYC with seamless transit options to the five boroughs and beyond, including 8 subway lines, 15 bus lines, 3 NYC Ferry landings, and 2 LIRR stations. Historically home to a large manufacturing sector, LIC maintains an important industrial core while also boasting growing residential and retail sectors. LIC's population grew 40% between 2010 and 2020 (5x faster than the growth rate for NYC) and jobs in LIC grew 2x as fast as compared to NYC overall. Foot traffic along Jackson Avenue -- one of our major commercial corridors -- has increased by more than 300% since 2007 and the LIC Business Improvement District welcomed 30 new businesses in 2024 alone.

Panel:

• David Brause - President, Brause Realty and Chairman, LIC BID (Moderator)
