Infrastructure-Oriented Development

David was instrumental in the development of Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s West Side, the largest private real estate development in U.S. history. Involved in each phase of the project, he helped establish each team’s structure and organization. Starting in 2011, he was involved in the design development of the Platform and the towers at 10 and 30 Hudson Yards and was the Project Manager for the retail podium at 20 Hudson Yards that connects the two towers. David also played a key role in the delivery of the Phase II expansion of the Mohegan Sun hotel and casino, a project of significant scale that was completed on a constrained schedule.
