From the January issue: David Picket is the president of Gotham Organization, one of the oldest development firms in New York City. Founded in 1913, Gotham has built about 35,000 apartments and a combined 40 million square feet of commercial and residential space, largely concentrated in Manhattan. The family-run firm, with about 150 employees, develops a mix of rentals and condos and operates two namesake food halls. Its property management arm manages about 4,000 rental apartments.
Gotham’s most recently completed project was the Ashland, a 53-story, 586-unit rental tower that opened in Fort Greene in Brooklyn in July. The firm is currently working on a 38-story rental tower in Long Island City with Brause Realty and a 39-story Midtown West rental tower at 515 West 42nd Street with BD Hotels. [more]
