Real Estate and Recovery

On May 12th Greater NY completed its Recovery Conversations Series with a discussion on real estate and recovery. David Kramer, President Hudson Companies, Susan Hewitt, President Cheshire Group and Andrew Kimball CEO, Industry City, explored how the pandemic changed how we think about office space, neighborhoods, street life, and land use. A theme throughout was the opportunity of this moment to re-envision New York City.

“There’s real opportunity for creative use of ground floor space.”

Zoning

“I am hopeful that someone emerges in November that is willing to jump into the fray and bring all the players to the table.”

Affordable housing

“The need for affordable housing is epic.”
