The Evolution of New York City’s Skyscrapers
RAMSA Partners Paul L. Whalen and Michael D. Jones, alongside Related New York, will explore the high-rise building boom that has transformed New York City's skyline and Central Park South. The tour will visit high-rises in the area that have set records for some of the most expensive home sales in U.S. history but have also set the stage for the supertalls that have joined New York’s skyline in recent years.
The 2024 ULI Spring Meeting aims to “connect with the world of real estate,” with urban developing topics centered around infrastructure, technology, housing, public/private partnerships, and mixed-use development. Stay tuned for a recap of tours and events.
