A Memorial will be held this Saturday, November 9th, in Yonkers to honor the tremendous impact that Joseph Cotter’s life has had on his industry and the region.
On October 25, Joseph Cotter, one of the region’s most successful and prolific real estate developers, passed away suddenly in New York City. Mr. Cotter, at 66, accomplished so much, developing visionary projects in places and communities that he believed in.
The Memorial will be held at 10 AM at the Robert Halmi Sr. Academy of Film and Television, 463 Hawthorne Avenue, Yonkers.
Mr. Cotter was President of National Resources, the New York metro real estate development and investment firm that focuses on the redevelopment of urban and industrial sites. The company is built on a foundation of acquiring key properties and using existing infrastructure, then adding the dimension of sustainability.
Under Mr. Cotter’s visionary leadership, National Resources has redeveloped over $2 billion of projects with some of the world’s largest capital partners, creating thousands of jobs in the Tri-State Area. Innovation was central to National Resources’ unprecedented success, developing leading edge real estate that transforms people, communities, and environments. Working with towns and banks over the long-term, Mr. Cotter and Lynne Ward, Co-Founder of National Resources, built a business employing almost 100 people.
