BROOKLYN REAL ESTATE BOARD DEMAND FOR HOMES IN ROCKAWAY ZONE SHOWN IN SALES Building Along Peninsula More Active Than Ever; Early Rentals Prevail.

Real estate activity in the Rock-aways, especially in the F.dgemere section of the peninsula, haa taken the appearance of a boom. With more than $1,000,000 worth of building going on in the section between the Atlantic Ocean and the Jamaica Bay and Beach 24th St. and Beach 44th builders and real estate brokers are being kept busy dally. The rapid rise in values and the sudden demand for building are due to the many new improvements that are going through the Edgemere section of the Bockaways. 'The recent passage of a bill that will allow the erection of the Rockaway boardwalk through Ldgemere, as well as the laying of new sewer and water mains and the completion of the paving of Edgemere Boulevard as well as work on the Beach Channel Drive, have all done their share toward stimulating greater building activity for Edgemere.

Building is going on at practically every street and one street. Beach 32d has building operations of close to $300,000. Messrs Hollow Perlow have Just completed the erection of 12 two-family homes and have already rented 14 apartments. A larie hotel and an apartment house are also being erected on this street. Real estate dealers report one of the biggest renting seasons Edgemere has ever witnessed.

More than 60 percent of the summer. cottages and bungalows have already been rented, and very few ocean block houses are on tbe market. Prices tbis year correspond with those received dining the war, and renting during the past few years never started until the middle of May, real estate brokers say. LAND VALUES AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS High land values In the congested sections of New York have precipitated a discussion of the relation between the costs of land and building. Although there is general agreement in the principle that depreciation and obsolescence of the improvement should be offset by tha general appreciation in land valye, and to this end the building investment should approximate that in the land: nevertheless, with New York's high ground values an intensive use of the land must be made in order to obtain a fair return on the total invest nst'pt.

In discussing this matter Henry Mandet points out that high land values must be reflected in hie. rentals. This phase of the prohlem has not been so generally considered. According to Mr. Mandcl one element of the great cost, of building sites in the central part of the city, and therefore one of the reasons for high rentals, lie's in the necessity not only of purchasing the ground, hut likewise the more or less costly improvements thereon which are bought only to be demolished.

"Since nn absolutely unimproved plot was secured for the 1 Fark Avenue Building, it is possible to offer rentals considerably lower than is normal in this type of building location." said Mr, Mandel, referring to the old carbarn block between 32d and 33d and extending from Park ave. to Lexington, which and his associates purchased two years ago for 000, and on the westerly portion of which they are now erecting nn 1 8-story office building with some available show room space. The carbarn block comprises square feet mid in contrast with its price, he block on which The Murray Hill Hotel stands, -rin 40th st. and Park covering 80.000 square feet, was appraised recently at S9.fiO0.o00. or six times the price paid for the carbarn block.
