How has your New York-based ﬁrm
demonstrated its resiliency? I'm proud to say
that, given the last months, the ﬁrm is quite
busy. I'm very proud of my team for working
through this and being present remotely, in the
ofﬁce, out of the ofﬁce. 
We just completed a project in New
York for Jay-Z and his company Roc Nation.
He relocated to Manhattan's Chelsea area
and leased six ﬂoors on West 26th Street in
a remarkable building with wonderful light
and beautiful views. It encompasses eight
different companies on six different ﬂoors,
and the idea was to create a sort of residential
mansion. The culture at Roc is very warm,
very welcoming, and hospitality driven. He
has an extensive art collection and a number
of beautiful works from [established] and upand-coming artists throughout the world.
It was designed pre-pandemic but it
comprises many different private ofﬁces-the

open-area seating is somewhat limited,
which coincidentally worked quite well
during this situation. I just saw Desiree
Perez, the CEO, and she couldn't be more
thrilled that so many folks have elected to
come back to the ofﬁce. It's such a pleasant
environment to be in. 
I had the pleasure of working with Jay
and curating [works] from his warehouse,
which has at least a couple hundred beautiful
examples. He is a unique person to work with;
extremely talented and has an incredible eye.
How will the city rebound? Positivity is an
incredible mantra. I grew up in this city, and
I will say: New York is New York. We will
bounce back. My grandfather said to me once:
'You can be scared, but never be afraid.' I
don't think New Yorkers are afraid. I think we
persevere. We work through it and we work
together. That's New York.
