Two trade groups and the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) are scheduled to give oral arguments on December 17 before a state judge in a case involving the prefabricated building units of Brooklyn's Atlantic Yards' B2 Bklyn tower, designed by SHoP.

Even so, many buyers continued to view the tristate region as a good place to spend their merger and acquisition dollars. "New York tends to be a harder place [for an outside firm] to get into. That said, it tends to be one of the most popular states" for deals, Morrissey says. "That's because it is a
