How to De-Risk a Megadeal: Related's Hudson Yards Masterclass
In this special episode of The Promote Podcast, we dive deep into Related Companies' de-risking playbook at its Hudson Yards megaproject. How they're pulling off a $25 billion, 18 million-square-foot undertaking in New York City while continuously taking chips off the table through creative financing structures, global capital sources, equity partners and tax breaks. We look at how Steve Ross spent 4 decades shoring up Related's balance sheet to take huge swings, and what other CRE hopefuls can learn from his approach to big-ticket development.
