Event Registration

The lifting of the residential FAR cap, approval of the 485-x tax abatement program, and the pending passage of the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity zoning text amendment by year’s end will soon provide New York City developers with new ways to build housing. How might these tools function together to address the city’s housing crisis? And, further, how can we ensure the new housing supply will meet the needs of all New Yorkers throughout the city?

Please join us for a new installment of MAS’ Closer Look series with leaders in development, land use law, and housing as we discuss expectations and potential outcomes of how these tools can shape future development in New York City. Our panelists include Basha Gerhards (senior vice president of planning, Real Estate Board of New York), Frank E. Cheney (counsel at Rosenberg & Estis, P.C.), and Michelle de la Uz (executive director, Fifth Avenue Committee Inc.).

American Planning Association certification maintenance credits will be available for this event.
