New York Redevelopment Forum
The IE NYC Real Estate Club and the Fordham Real Estate Institute Student Association present: New York Redevelopment Forum — How office-to-residential conversion is redefining the next era of New York real estate.
Join us for an exclusive panel exploring what it truly takes to source, structure, and deliver the defining transaction of the decade in New York City's most competitive real estate landscape.
Joey Chilelli, Partner at Vanbarton Group
Salo Smeke, Co-Founder and Head of Acquisitions at CSC
Patrick Sullivan, Counsel at Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer
Peter Wang, Design Director and Office Developers Leader at Gensler
The event will be introduced by Francisco Chabran, Dean of Programs and External Relations at IE New York College, and moderated by Dmitri Shuster, Faculty Chair and Program Director at IE New York College, who brings twenty-one years of senior experience in global capital markets to guide the conversation.
This event brings together leaders across acquisitions, investment, law, and design to offer a multi-perspective view on what it means to take a conversion from opportunity to finished product in New York City's real estate market.
Our speakers will share their firsthand experience navigating one of the world's most demanding markets, addressing the critical question of how distressed office valuations, evolving regulation, and design execution converge to make a conversion work in a city that rewards vision, discipline, and bold decision-making.
The discussion will move from sourcing the opportunity and structuring the deal to a forward-looking conversation on where the real opportunities lie today and how the next generation of real estate leaders can position themselves to leave their mark on New York City.
