October 30 2023 - 3:15PM
SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG), Manhattan’s largest office
landlord, today announced that it has appointed Garrett Armwood as
Vice President of Government Affairs. Armwood most recently served
as the Deputy State Director to Senate Majority Leader Charles E.
Schumer.
This new position will help SL Green expand its role supporting
New York City’s recovery, as it works with City and State officials
to advocate for important initiatives including affordable housing
programs that incentivize the conversion of office properties to
residential use, and the ongoing reimagination of central business
districts as 24/7 destinations. These initiatives build on SL
Green’s long history of projects and partnerships that benefit New
Yorkers, from the Company’s Food1st initiative to its proposal for
Caesars Palace Times Square
“SL Green is committed to making an impact in New York City
communities, and Garrett brings the experience and connections to
help us deliver even more for New Yorkers,” said Marc
Holliday, Chairman and CEO of SL Green. “We are deeply
invested in New York’s success and know that Garrett will help us
play a leadership role in pursuing important programs to advance
the city’s recovery, support the revitalization of our business
districts and address the housing crisis.”
“From responding to the COVID-19 pandemic to helping secure
major federal funding for projects across the state like the
$2,000,000,000 Electron Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Labs
and the refinancing of Co-Op City's federally-backed
mortgage, Garrett was crucial to so many successes of our
office and our ability to deliver for the people of New York,”
said Senate Majority
Leader Chuck
Schumer. “Nobody knows New York like Garrett. He is
smart, strategic and has a rare ability to build trust and
credibility across diverse constituencies.”
Armwood served in Senator Schumer’s office for seven years,
first as Long Island Director and later as Deputy State Director.
Armwood previously served as Deputy District Director for
Congressman Steve Israel, where he served as a key link between
Congressman Israel and his constituents, working extensively with
local organizations and constituents to understand their needs. He
brings integral connections across New York State along with over a
decade of experience running and participating in successful
political campaigns.
“I’m thrilled to join such a renowned firm as SL Green and play
a part in their initiatives to deliver exciting new projects for
the city and for New Yorkers,” said Garrett Armwood, Vice
President of Government Affairs at SL Green. “I’ve spent
my entire career working in public service, helping elected
officials make a positive impact in the communities they represent
on behalf of their constituents. I look forward to working with SL
Green to continue this work and uplift communities across the
city.”
