Department Overview: 

NYCEDC’s Asset Management (AM) Division manages the overall strategy for conventional and non-traditional assets across all five boroughs of New York City including commercial real estate properties as well as transportation, critical infrastructure, and energy assets. The Asset Management division pursues a double-bottom line strategy, targeting not just economic returns but also multiple social metrics including but not limited to job creation and growing equitable neighborhoods. The overall assets are divided into multiple portfolios, each managed by an Asset Manager/SVP, with a Business Operations department that monitors and enforces standards and practices across the portfolio.   

The Development department within the Asset Management division works with the portfolio and asset managers to identify opportunities for the redevelopment and/or repositioning of these assets in order to both improve the economic returns of the assets and to incorporate EDC’s strategic policy initiative directives. Some of the assets that the Development department is currently focusing on include the Manhattan Cruise Terminal, the Sunset Park campus (including the Brooklyn Army Terminal and Made in New York Campus), the Teleport Campus and the Hunts Point Food Market.
