Adams' new campaign HQ opens in SL Green building amid key support from real estate giant
Mayor Adams recently opened his new campaign headquarters in a building owned by SL Green, the city’s largest commercial landlord and one of his biggest political backers — the latest example of Adams shoring up his ties with the powerful firm as he kicks off a difficult bid for reelection.
Marc Holliday, SL Green’s CEO, is a longtime supporter of Adams and offers him a crucial toehold into New York’s influential — and wealthy — real estate sector. During the Democratic mayoral primary campaign, Adams’ rival, Andrew Cuomo, courted most sections of the real estate world for financial support, including Holliday.
But with Cuomo’s Democratic mayoral primary loss in the rearview, Holliday appears to be lining up squarely behind Adams, who’s running on an independent line in November’s general election.
Last week, Holliday hosted a fundraiser for Adams at One Madison, SL Green’s flagship Flatiron District skyscraper, where hundreds of supporters donated nearly $1 million to the mayor. The massive haul comes as Adams is scrambling to mount an independent run against socialist Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic mayoral nominee who’s the favorite to win in November, and Cuomo, who said Monday he is also staying in the race on an independent line.
