What benefit does a property owner receive from having his/hers building Landmarked?
• There is a reputation of quality and real estate marketability that is achieved when an owner’s neighborhood is officially designated as a landmark. Landmark property owners benefit from official commitment to historic preservation and the security of knowing that their property and neighborhood will not be negatively affected by rapid development trends in the future. Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Boreum Hill, and Park Slope are good examples of the positive effects of a landmark district.
