Savills, a global real estate brokerage firm, bases its results on factors such as costs of living and doing business, real estate prices, talent, and transport. Cited among the reasons for New York’s ascent were its deep talent pool and recent big tech expansions. Rounding out the top-five finishers were San Francisco, London, Amsterdam, and Boston. Los Angeles finished seventh.
