Residents worry a proposed data center will guzzle power and water plus dent property values while city leaders point to jobs, tax revenue, and tech growth as big wins.

New York City is projected to complete over 50,000 new housing units by the end of 2025, the largest annual total since 1965. The surge is partly fueled by developers rushing projects before the expiration of tax incentives like 421-a, which previously encouraged multifamily construction.

Newly released data from the Department of City Planning shows developers finished construction on 25,674 residential units in the first six months of 2025.
