Everyone must or should realize it's only a niche market for the ultra wealthy at the moment. Not saying it's bad, but unless you can make them more affordable sometime soon, or unless anyone out there becomes a billionaire all of a sudden (allow us to be somewhat skeptical about that), demand for this kind of products is likely to decrease at some point locally. I mean, Manhattan proper got a big share of it lately.

That said, I don't think this market would ever literally collapse either. This standard of living within a city center is too desirable to fail on the long run.
Short of global calamity or massive recession, the NY condo market is not going to go bust. And, as noted, this is going to be a luxury condo but is not going to be sold or marketed to the ultra wealthy. The market may dry up for a time, but that will just result in a correction with less building and construction until excess inventory is absorbed.
