After losing up to 20% of available office space in lower Manhattan, the NY real estate market surges back to life.

Barry Gosin and his colleagues throughout New York's real-estate industry haven't had much time to be stunned. In a twist of fate, many New York-area landlords and brokers who had been sitting on a softening market are back in business as never before.Just weeks ago, Mack-Cali Realty Corp.'s one-million-square-foot office tower in Jersey City, N.J., due to come on line early next year, was about one-third leased.
