The Real Deal New York

From the January issue: With 25 years of New York government experience under his belt, including a five-year stint running the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Marc Shaw was an important asset to a novice Mayor Bloomberg. Now the tables have turned, and Shaw, 53, is learning the ins and outs of New York City’s tight-knit real estate world as the executive vice president for strategic planning at Extell Development Company. And while Shaw, who has been at Extell for about a year and a half, made headlines when he left his post as first deputy mayor – the second in command at City Hall – he has not talked much publicly about his new career since leaving. But, so far, his tenure at Extell has been marked by a number of high-profile projects, including the company’s most recent bid to redevelop the Hudson Yards site.
