David Picket, CEO of Gotham Developers, the company responsible for the up-and-coming Upper West Side rental building the Corner at 200 West 72nd Street, sat down with the New York Times to talk about his latest ventures and what it’s like being in a fourth-generation family business. Although Picket said that his father “never, ever forced” the business on him, he contend that it was always an option. After nearly entering the litigation field, Picket said he realized that the family business was his true calling. “My dad, at the time, needed somebody, and we sat down over a few lunches and basically worked out a deal,” Picket said. “I had a contract and a salary and a title.”
