I began writing about real estate in the late 90s, just in time to cover one of the most exciting and expansive eras in the history of building in New York City, a decade of bold design and visionary, grand-scale development.

I invite you to read the profiles of architects, developers, buildings and neighborhoods in my portfolio as chapters in the story of the emergence of New York City as a showcase for world-class architecture and residential development — a chronicle of the rapid and pervasive transformation in the way we live.

South Florida, for decades the sunny annex of New York City, is changing explosively as well. My pieces on the opulent resort-style residences and lifestyle trends down south are best enjoyed as they were written, with piña colada in hand.
