David Bistricer, co-chairman and CEO of Clipper Realty Inc. (NYSE: CLPR), joined Nareit in New York for a video interview at REITweek: 2019 Investor Conference. Bistricer described New York’s economy as “diverse,” noting that the variety of business from financial to manufacturing have helped the city’s commercial real estate survive various downturns over the past decade better than other U.S. cities. “There’s a lot of people in this city, and the population is growing,” Bistricer said. “That keeps it a vibrant economic place.”
