ULI New York Leadership Application

The ULI New York Mixed-Use Councils are groups of prominent New York owners, developers, investors, brokers, designers and public sector leaders topically focused around mixed-use development.

Mission

The mission of ULI New York Mixed-Use Councils is to advocate for the smart, sustainable, health-promoting development of the New York region’s growing neighborhoods and economic centers and to share best practices in developing compact, transit oriented, mixed-use communities. The New York region must rise to the twin challenges of meeting the housing needs of its growing population and preserving its status as a leading center of global competitiveness and innovation. As a real estate industry leader, you have a vested interest in how the city meets these challenges and the expertise to help craft the next solutions. Let’s work together to help shape the city’s future.

Goals & Objectives

  • To promote a pro-growth, pro-development agenda that supports the economic growth of the New York region and enhances our global competitiveness through progressive land use policies and long-term economic development strategies;
  • To convene a trusted network of New York City’s best and brightest real estate industry professionals, including a cross section of developers, owners, providers of capital, designers, and related service providers, to share best practices and lessons learned about responsible mixed-use development strategies through the sharing of case studies;
  • To provide a forum for information exchange on the state-of-the-art in transit oriented development;
  • To serve as a resource to city and state government and the greater public on development policy and responsible urban growth;
  • To provide an objective forum for real estate industry leaders to discuss development policy with city and state officials and community members; and
  • To balance the need for affordable housing with concerns about density and maintain New York City as a world-class global center.

This council format is similar ULI’s national product councils.  Members convene every other month to hear from a prominent best speaker(s) from the Mixed-Use development industry.

ULI New York has two Council flights: Mixed-Use Blue and Mixed-Use Green.
