The Real Deal: Tim Anderson included as Top 100 Titans of Real Estate

Anderson has overseen more than $2.4 billion in multifamily, mixed-use and redevelopment projects, including Fulton Market properties that steered the neighborhood’s transformation into a commercial real estate hotspot.

Anderson partnered with Shapack Partners on major Fulton Market developments such as the office tower at 167 North Green Street and The Parker apartments.

The deal included $71.6 million in construction financing from CIBC and $23.9 million in preferred equity from Heitman, a rare outcome in a market where high interest rates and rising costs have sidelined many developments.
