Manhattan occupancy levels fell significantly in the first three months of 2009, declining 16.7 percent, 16.9 percent, and 15.3 percent, respectively. These severe declines resulted in occupancy averaging 67.2 percent in the first quarter, down from 80.2 percent during the same period one year ago.
