New York City boasts one of the most iconic skylines in the world, one that’s endlessly evolving, with new supertall skyscrapers sprouting up year after year. Yet for all the buzz and hum of new development across the city, New York is also defined by its perennial housing shortages, with regulatory hurdles and investment in market rate units making it difficult to provide for everyone who wants to live in the thriving metropolis.
City & State’s inaugural Trailblazers in Building & Real Estate highlights key players in these twin sectors who are navigating New York’s unique landscape. The list features a range of stakeholders who are finding ways to create more space and make the city more affordable, including Kenneth R. Crystal. It features major construction contractors and leading real estate developers, lawyers and consultants, architects and engineers. It includes executives at public authorities, nonprofits and for-profit companies who are expanding their footprints; builders of critical transportation infrastructure; and developers all across the state, from Westchester to Western New York – and, of course, advocates and lobbyists seeking to change city and state policies in order to spur more development.
The full list of honorees can be found on the City & State New York website.
