A NYC real estate powerhouse has broken free from Coldwell Banker’s franchise model, rebranding as MYNY to empower agents with direct control, lower fees, and personalized growth opportunities. With 135 agents already seeing improved profits and stronger personal branding, the firm is expanding into Connecticut, New Jersey, and Florida—where New Yorkers flock to live. Led by principal broker Joseph Hamdan, MYNY flips the script by funneling opportunity straight to agents, not corporate HQ, and is joining Leading Real Estate Companies of the World to scale sustainably. Their bet? When agents thrive, the company thrives—offering a refreshing, agent-first alternative in a crowded market.

Mayor Mamdani’s bold new housing plan aims to build and preserve 200,000 affordable units over ten years, blending developer incentives with tough landlord accountability—through zoning changes, public funding, and intervention in distressed buildings. Developers stand to gain billions, faster permits, and new financing, especially for mixed-income projects and NYCHA redevelopments. Tenant advocates and non-profits also win big: new powers to buy struggling buildings, revived transfer programs, and expanded court authority to seize neglectful rent-stabilized properties. Meanwhile, chronic violators face coordinated inspections and legal action. In other real estate moves, Extell Development acquires a Brooklyn office building for $39M near a major site, and Danny Meyer’s restaurant group plans to open at the historic Hotel Bossert in 2028.
