New York City hopes to source 70% of its power from renewable sources by 2023, according to a report released by CBRE.  Based on the positive response of this transition to date, all indications point to the start of a new trend.

Since 2019, New York has committed over $50 billion to the state's energy transition. Most of this funding has gone to offshore windmills, solar arrays and battery storage, electric vehicle charging stations, and a nearly 350-mile-long clean energy transmission line. These projects are in various stages of development.

Between 2019 and 2023, 15 companies secured 114,705 square feet of space in the solar market; 7 companies signed leases totaling 127,136 square feet in the offshore wind sector; and 2 companies signed leases totaling 21,687 square feet in infrastructure.
