Belkin Burden Goldman LLP has released a new episode of its Ground Rules podcast featuring Eli Meltzer, principal of Meltzer Mandl Architects.

In the episode, BBG attorneys David Shamshovich and Brenda Slochowsky speak with Meltzer about his career in architecture, from his early work at Kohn Pedersen Fox and Hudson Yards to rebuilding his family’s architecture practice and developing a focus on housing in New York City.

The conversation covers affordable housing, HPD programs, City of Yes, UAP, MIH, and the practical considerations that shape development potential. Meltzer also discusses the role of AI in architecture, his use of social media as a professional tool, and how architects, attorneys, and developers work together to move projects forward.
