<p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In this episode of </span>Shaping the NYC Skyline<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">, we sit down with Eric Enderlin, President of the New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC) and a driving force behind the city’s affordable housing initiatives. With more than two decades of experience in urban planning, policy, and finance, Eric has played a central role in expanding and preserving affordable housing, from overseeing record-breaking affordable housing production efforts to securing transformative preservation deals across the City.

Eric discusses the complexities of creating sustainable mixed-income communities, the important evolving role of public-private partnerships, and the forward-thinking strategies behind initiatives like </span>City of Yes<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">, which aim to modernize zoning regulations and unlock new, and much needed, housing opportunities.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">As we explore the intersection of housing, infrastructure, and economic mobility, Eric highlights how transit access, zoning flexibility, and strategic investment can expand opportunities for New Yorkers across all income levels. He also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the financial mechanisms that drive affordable housing development—explaining how tax incentives, bond financing, and innovative funding structures shape the future of (affordable) housing in the City.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Reflecting on his career trajectory—from early work in land use mediation to leading the nation’s largest municipal housing finance agency—Eric shares key lessons on resilience, adaptability, and the ever-evolving nature of housing policy in one of the world’s most complex real estate markets.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Join us as we explore the policies, economics, and long-term vision </span>shaping<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> a more affordable and equitable </span>New York<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> City—one that continues to define the city’s </span>skyline<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">More on Shaping the NYC Skyline:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Website - </span><a href="https://www.seidenschein.com/podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.seidenschein.com/podcast/</a></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">LinkedIn - </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/shaping-the-nyc-skyline" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.linkedin.com/company/shaping-the-nyc-skyline</a></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Instagram - </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/shapingthenycskyline/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Shaping the NYC Skyline (@shapingthenycskyline)</a></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">YouTube - </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ShapingtheNYCSkyline" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.youtube.com/@ShapingtheNYCSkyline</a></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Email - </span><a href="mailto:shapingthenycskyline@seidenschein.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">shapingthenycskyline@seidenschein.com</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">You can Reach our Hosts by email:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">David Shamshovich </span><a href="mailto:dshamshovich@seidenschein.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">dshamshovich@seidenschein.com</a></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Brenda Slochowsky - </span><a href="mailto:bslochowsky@seidenschein.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">bslochowsky@seidenschein.com</a></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Camila Almeida - </span><a href="mailto:calmeida@seidenschein.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">calmeida@seidenschein.com</a></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">SEIDEN & SCHEIN, P.C.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">570 Lexington Avenue, 14th Floor</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">New York, NY 10022</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Email: </span><a href="mailto:info@seidenschein.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">info@seidenschein.com</a></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Phone: (212) 935-1400</span></p>
