ABOUT

Joel I. PicketGotham’s New York roots, like its personal and long-lasting relationships, run deep, and infuse the company with the same dynamic energy as the city that shares its name. Gotham takes a community-minded approach to development, enhancing the city and its neighborhoods with every new project by focusing on artfully designed buildings that lean on neighborhood materials and skyscapes, and thoughtful amenities that add energy and create a locals’ destination.

Gotham’s rich legacy began in construction; for over a century, Gotham Construction Company has built projects including office buildings, hospitals, schools, retail centers, and apartment buildings.  The company’s innovative approach and leadership continue to reshape the NYC skyline, streetscape and industry, while its ethos remains grounded in construction and an ability to build projects on time and on budget.

Examples of Gotham's innovation and leadership include:

  • Gotham West residences, the first 50/30/20 affordable housing development in New York City that transformed the Hell’s Kitchen community;
  • The Gotham West Market, the trendsetting food hall that garnered two stars from The New York Times;
  • New Gotham, the first luxury residential building constructed out of the slowdown in the 90’s; 
  • Harlem USA, large urban retail center in an iconic neighborhood, which helped transform the 125th Street corridor; and
  • DC USA, the largest retail development in the District of Columbia
