Building a Better New York City

Building the Future, One Community at a Time

After four transformative years serving the City of New York  as Commissioner of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and as Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development, and Workforce, I am proud to announce the re-launch of Metro Futures LLC. 

My recent time in public service was defined by a commitment to solving the most pressing housing and economic challenges in our city’s history. From overseeing record-breaking affordable housing production to spearheading the landmark City of Yes for Housing Opportunity zoning reforms, I have seen firsthand what it takes to move large-scale projects from a visionary concept to a finished home or a thriving commercial hub. 

Today, Metro Futures returns with a deeper level of expertise and a reinforced mission. We are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between complex government regulation and the goals of private developers and non-profit organizations. Whether it is navigating the new 485x tax incentive  landscape, executing strategic neighborhood plans like the Bronx Metro-North Station Area, or revitalizing economic corridors, we bring a "double-perspective" that is unmatched.

Our core task remains the same: focusing on the fundamentals that allow New Yorkers to succeed—a good home, a stable job, and the opportunity to thrive. I look forward to partnering with you to build a more equitable and vibrant future for our metro.
