Jordan Barowitz

Jordan Barowitz is a 25-year veteran at the intersection of New York City government, media, real estate, and civic life. He served nine years in City Hall under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, helping drive communications on the smoking ban, the property tax increase, and the MTA transit strike, and ran half a dozen political campaigns. He later spent 16 years leading public affairs for The Durst Organization, where he guided major rezonings, helped secure the One World Trade Center RFP, and played a key role in reshaping Ground Zero into a thriving commercial district.

Through Barowitz Advisory, he helps organizations navigate NYC’s complex political, civic, and media ecosystem—with support in government and community relations, strategic messaging, public affairs, and advocacy.

Jordan currently serves on boards and committees across the city, including the Association for a Better New York, GrowNYC, and the Brooklyn Public Library. A lifelong New Yorker, he attended NYC public schools.
