Nancy Liang, chair of Event Committee of CAREA, said, "The presentation was both engaging and informative, and we look forward to continued collaboration with MJH Birchwood." Founded in 1988, CAREA's mission is to promote the economic and social well-being and professional advancement of its more than 300 Chinese-American real estate brokers. To achieve this mission, the association often partners with developers like MJH Birchwood to hold educational presentations. At the January luncheon, Horn spoke to attendees about the transformation of Queens. Redesigned by Lawrence Shapiro, president of Lawrence M. Shapiro, Inc., in conjunction with Freyer Collaborative Architects, The Towers at Water's Edge features interiors by Gail Horn Designs and Patrick Sheeran of Design Promotions.
