Andrew Cleary Discusses Adding Value Through Repositioning at Bisnow New York City State of Market

The KPF Principal will draw on projects such as 245 Park Avenue to unpack how owners decide between capital upgrades, repositioning, and new development.

In the panel “Capital Improvement Projects & Conversions: Upgrading Assets to Drive Profitability,” Andrew will discuss how design decisions—reimagining lobbies, amenity spaces, and building entry sequences—shape the tenant experience and determine whether a capital upgrade increases value.

Andrew will be joined by fellow panelists Robert Schiffer, EVP, Development at SL Green Realty; Joey Chilelli, Partner at Vanbarton Group; and Alexandra Schmidt, VP & General Manager, Interiors at Turner Construction Company. The panel will be moderated by Farshad Morè, Partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
