Long Island University
Lobbying client
Long Island University is a private nonprofit university founded in 1926, with its main Brooklyn campus in Downtown Brooklyn and another campus in Post/Brookville on Long Island. Since 2018 LIU has partnered with developer RXR Realty on a multi-phase redevelopment of the Brooklyn campus, monetizing air rights to fund two residential towers, The Willoughby and 89 DeKalb Avenue, that include academic and athletic space for the university, and the filings here track LIU's lobbying of a city agency on real-property determinations tied to that redevelopment. LIU has filed 15 disclosures since 2024 with no reported compensation, and holds $2 million in active city contracts as of August 2026, part of $22.8 million since 2014.
