As it pertains to NY development (in order of preference):

Getting our subways somewhat back on track  
9 dekalb getting out of the ground/rising  
Foster’s 2WTC rising (would rather see the site become a park than BIG’s design)  
South street seaport mall/roof/promenade opening  
Expanded ferry network  
Domino Park  
Less retail blight, with Landlords giving up the battle and renting out their vacant retail.

I think this is the winner right here.

I’m hoping 2018 brings us news of more super talls. I want NY to become the super tall capital. We must continue the trend. I hope 2018 brings a strong permits report for each quarter. Also… looking forward to a strong annual census report.

I’m psyched about the Vessel opening…I’m kinda skeptical if it will actually happen in 2018 b/c it seems like it may be dependent on all the immediate construction being 100% done and probably the landscaping all around it finished as well. Hope I’m wrong!

I’m hoping for any great news regarding 2WTC. I may not be a huge fan of the newer design but anything is better than nothing… the complex isn’t complete without it. Besides that, I’m excited mostly for more local projects to take off.

Looking forward to a lot of projects but 2WTC the most. I don’t care which one gets built at this point, but please no more height cuts!
