Editorial standards

Transaction data

Every transaction listed at sky-nyc.com/deals and on individual deal pages comes from publicly recorded sources. We use:

• NYC ACRIS (Automated City Register Information System) — primary source for closed-deed prices, parties, and dates on every Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Bronx transaction over $5M.
• Traded.co — independent commercial-deal reporting platform; cross-referenced against ACRIS for closing dates and party verification.
• Crexi.com — independent commercial-deal database; used for comparable-sale context and deal-database publication.
• Primary outlet reporting — Commercial Observer, The Real Deal, NYREJ, Bisnow, Crain's NY Business, NYT, and NY Post coverage of each deal; cited in sky-nyc.com/press.

When a discrepancy exists between an initially-announced contract price and a recorded closing price (e.g. the 6 East 43rd Street transaction was announced as $140M and closed at $135M per Commercial Observer), we use the recorded closing price as canonical.

Press citations

Every press citation in sky-nyc.com/press links to the original outlet's article URL. We verify each link resolves before publishing, and we maintain the citation as an immutable record even if the source outlet later removes or paywalls the article.

When the same deal is covered by multiple outlets, we mark one citation as canonical (typically the most-detailed primary report) and tag the others as duplicateOf so that rel=canonical and robots:noindex signal Google which version to surface. The duplicate URLs stay live so any external backlink continues to pass authority to the canonical citation.

Auto-ingested press hits (from RSS feeds via lib/press-monitor.js) only publish when ALL of: (a) the URL is not a redirect, (b) the article has a parseable publication date, (c) no HTML entities pollute the headline or excerpt, and (d) both "Robert Khodadadian" and "Skyline Properties" appear in the source text. Items failing any check are queued for admin review.

Editorial content

Long-form articles (/insights, /guides, /case-studies) carry the byline of the actual author (Robert Khodadadian, Daniel Shirazi Esq., or Stephen Tang-Alcala) and are not AI-generated. The schema.org Person @id on each byline resolves to that author's bio page on the site, where their credentials and licensure are documented.

Market commentary, cap-rate estimates, and pricing observations represent the author's professional opinion based on observed transactions and verifiable comps. They are not solicitations to buy or sell securities, financial advice, or legal advice.

Image attribution

Property photos in transaction and case-study pages are either (a) photographed by Skyline Properties, (b) provided by the property owner with permission to publish, or (c) sourced from public-record databases (NYC PLUTO, etc.) and used under fair-use commentary for editorial purposes. Press outlet logos in the press archive are used under fair use for editorial citation of the original work.

Corrections policy

If you identify a factual error in any transaction, press citation, market figure, or attribution on sky-nyc.com, email info@skylineprp.com with the URL and the correction. We respond within 5 business days and publish a correction (or remove the disputed content) within 48 hours of verification.

Press outlets, deal counterparties, and verified journalists receive expedited correction processing — typically same-day. Use the same email address.

Independence

Skyline Properties is a brokerage. We have commercial relationships with many of the buyers, sellers, lenders, and counterparties referenced on this site. We disclose those relationships in deal pages (broker, buyer, seller, financing partner fields are explicit). We do not accept paid placements in editorial content; the press citations linked here represent independent third-party reporting.
