Lago addressing the attendees of REBNY's Leadership Breakfast.

The event, held in the Grand Ballroom at the New York Hilton Midtown, included a keynote speech by Marisa Lago, director of the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) and chair of the City Planning Commission (CPC).

In her remarks, Lago outlined the industry’s economic impact stating, “As-of-right development is the workhorse of housing and space for jobs. Since 2010, over 80% of new housing has been built as of right. Without this development, about 300,000 New Yorkers–an entire Pittsburgh–wouldn’t have the homes they live in today. Without it, we’d produce far less housing, be able to support fewer jobs and New York would also be increasingly unaffordable.”

Tri-state capital migrates nationally amid regulation pressure - by Reese Weaver

New York tri-state multifamily investors are increasingly reallocating capital to less-regulated markets across the U.S. as rent control and legislative risk erode returns at home. With over 60% of New York City’s rental housing stock classified as rent-stabilized, the traditional value-add model — buying under-performing buildings,

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
