2022 Year in Review: Joe Yacobellis, Mojo Stumer Associates
Senior Associate/Director of Design
Mojo Stumer Associates
What was your greatest professional accomplishment or most notable project, deal, or transaction in 2022? We had many great and notable accomplishments, but the most exciting might be some of our larger transit oriented development projects finally moving into construction. These projects take years to get off the ground as we navigate through municipal approvals, and this year two of our major projects, ‘301 Warner’ in Roslyn, and ‘The Rose’ in Great Neck, have broken ground and are underway. Very exciting to look toward the future of these transformative projects, and others we have not far behind.
What emerging trends will drive investment and development in 2023? We are definitely starting to see people worry about what the future holds, but across our client base, there is still a strong and consistent drive to hold up good design, and not to let economic factors sacrifice the quality of a project. When times are tight, we have to be more creative in finding ways to execute high quality architecture under stricter budgetary limits, but our clients are along for the ride and embrace the process–always allowing us to strive for the highest quality work.
