The Daily Dirt: Real Estate’s Not-So Hive Mind

The industry is climbing to ensure that Andrew Cuomo is the next mayor. The industry has resigned from a socialist mayor.

Both things can be true because, different from the depositThe real estate sector is not a cybernetic collective with shared consciousness.

Related companies CEO Jeff Blau took the BAT signal on Monday evening and called on colleague developers and other UltraWealthy donors to meet the next morning, The New York Times reported. According to The Times, those present gathered to the former Gov. Andrew Cuomos to strategize to victory. Whether this has been translated into a concrete action plan or simply managers cutting checks in the pool room of the Seagram building is unclear.

Of course, if the strategy is to throw more money on the campaign, that is almost the same strategy that is used pre-primary.

In the meantime, some affordable home developers – as De Borg likes to say – resistance is meaningless.

A developer told me last week that people in this room meet Mamdani and wanted to be part of his conversations for agenda setting and administration. The Wall Street Journal spoke with developers who prepare housing proposals for Mamdani.

Some in the industry decided to support Mamdani Post-Primary, simply because he is the democratic nominee. As I reported earlier, professionals in the affordable and non -profit home world, as well as other sectors (real estate management, construction, architecture and brokerage) also donated to his campaign, although not to the same extent we have seen with Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams.

The point is: there are many rooms in this industry, not just the pole room. Even within each of these rooms there are variations. (Related, one of the largest developers in the city, has started with affordable homes, which still builds it alongside luxury residential, office towers, etc.)

And how people in these rooms look at the race is fluent.

A poll by New York Times and Siena University showed that 46 percent of the likely voters are planning to cast their vote for assemblage member Zohran Mamdani. The polls showed Cuomo in second place by 24 percent.

The margins beg considerably when the race becomes a two -way match between Mamdani and Cuomo, with the first 48 percent taking and the last 44 percent of the votes. Adams and Republican nominated Curtis Sliwa have sustained that they are staying in the race, and even if they stop, they will probably be Stay on the mood.

Yet, if the race is limited to two contenders, the calculus can change for those who want to work with Mamdani. It will be a long two months!

What we think about: Are you a developer who decided to pursue a project – either in the very early stages or once the public assessment has started – because the local councilor made clear their opposition? Send a comment to kathryn@thereealdeal.com.
