…..The conference also featured developers of the proposed $3.5 billion Affirmation Tower project. The minority-led team aims to build one of the tallest buildings in the world in a vacant state-owned lot across the street from the Javits Center.
They have dedicated 35%, or more than $1 billion, to minority and women-owned business enterprises.
“This is an opportunity to have an inflection point and change the paradigm," said Craig Livingston, managing partner at Exact Capital and member of the Affirmation Tower team.
The Affirmation Tower developers are still hopeful the project can move forward, in one location or another.
