Hear from NYC’s real estate power players at Curbed’s virtual event series

The next installment of The Neighborhood will explore how COVID-19 is affecting New York City’s real estate market

New York City offers one of the most interesting, and sometimes puzzling, backdrops for the real estate industry today: Entirely new communities are being built in various corners of the city, an exercise in reimagining the city’s coastline has replaced post-industrial warehouses with public waterfront parks and pricey residences, and all the while, debates around how to build a city that is fair for all residents has occupied the minds of developers and residents alike.

And while there’s plenty to talk about around these topics alone, a global pandemic has effectively paused the nation’s housing market and presented brokers, landlords, and residents with unprecedented challenges to navigating the already complex world of New York City real estate. Uncertainty around COVID-19’s long-term effects have upended the local housing market—delaying new development due to construction halts, causing prospective homebuyers and sellers to rethink their plans, and completely changing the way we view homes and make decisions about where we live.

At Curbed, we often tap industry experts for insight on what these changes to our landscape mean, and how they might affect the present and future of the city. The question of how COVID-19 has altered the state of New York City real estate is no different. Their answers speak to what they know as a politician, or a developer, or a designer, and each makes up a small yet crucial part of a larger narrative about what the future of New York City may look like. These conversations are relevant to both industry professionals and the general public, so we’ve decided to open them up for a virtual breakfast and panel series that will explore some of the biggest happenings in New York City real estate and development today.

In partnership with StreetEasy, The Neighborhood series will feature some of today’s top policymakers, architects, and developers, and moderated by Curbed editors. The series, which began at the end of February and will run through the end of May, is free and open to the public via Zoom, but you must RSVP to attend.
