Iva Kravitz, The Iva Agency

What was the best thing that happened to you or your firm in 2014? The best thing that happened to our agency is that we added two new wonderful clients: Sharon Davis Design and Dirtworks Landscape/David Kamp. Both Sharon and David are brilliant designers and thought leaders in mission-driven architecture and landscape/public health respectively and we are very excited about working with them. What was your most notable project, deal, transaction or personal achievement in 2014? As Co-Chair of the AREW Charitable Fund, my most notable achievement in 2014 was leading the organizational self-examination process that will make the CREW NEW YORK Charitable Fund a stronger presence in 2015 and going forward. What are you looking forward to accomplishing in 2015? We look forward to becoming known as the PR/marketing agency most known for promoting designers and offices whose work reflects social and environmental responsibility. What are some of your real estate predictions for 2015? We think the center of Brooklyn (Bushwick, East New York, Brownsville, New Lots) will explode as the mayor's plan to build affordable housing starts to take form. We also think the commercial markets will stay strong throughout Manhattan.
