Mayor de Blasio has been invited too. Sign up for free admission now.
Stick around for two other important ABO panels at BuildingsNY on the 19th.
At 10:30, David Kuperberg, chairman of First Service Residential and Allina Boohoff, Executive Director of JP Morgan Asset Management will discuss Asset Management: New York Style. How do New York City owners and managers have to change their operations to deal with national and institutional investors? And, how do institutions deal with the New York differences?
At 3 p.m. we’ll offer Obamacare–Get Ready for the Employer Mandate. Despite many delays, employers have to plan for Affordable Care Act paperwork and 27,000 pages of regulations. Are you ready? Learn what the New York State Builders Association and ABO are doing to help you.
At 4 p.m. ABO, CHIP and RAM are hosting a free cocktail reception for owners and managers (sorry, no vendors except sponsors) to get together and review the events of the day. Be there for it all.
BuildingsNY is also hosting panels from CHIP, AIA, BOMA, and NYARM. It is time to learn and network at the biggest trade show and seminar program in the industry.
As REBNY reported this week, it is a big industry. Excluding single family homes and co-ops and condos, the real estate industry paid $13.7 billion in property taxes in 2012 and generated almost 520,000 direct and indirect jobs…11 percent of all jobs in the City.
And there is more. The Building Congress reported Monday that building permits for residential construction in 2013 jumped 71 percent over the 2012 total to 18,095 units. Major increases were recorded in every borough except the Bronx.
