New York University is a major private research university founded in 1832, enrolling roughly 62,000 students across its campus near Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village and a growing Brooklyn presence anchored by the Tandon School of Engineering. With over 14 million square feet of property across more than 115 Manhattan and Brooklyn buildings, NYU is one of the city's largest private landowners, and its 31 filings since 2024, registered citywide, reflect lobbying through Cozen O'Connor Public Strategies and Patrick B.
