2025 marked a pivotal year for housing in New York City and for Meltzer/Mandl. As City of Yes moved from policy to implementation, we helped owners, developers, and public agencies translate new zoning into buildable, financeable projects. Through clear zoning strategies and as-of-right pathways, we unlocked 250,000+ square feet of capacity and 250+ housing units, reduced discretionary risk, and guided projects from site analysis to construction with confidence.
