In one of his acquisitions Mr. Nelson won praise for spearheading a Mitchell-Lama
apartment building conversion at a 309 unit Upper West Side property, known as
Cathedral Parkway Towers, by devising a complex deal the New York Times called "unique in the annals of the housing program". The New York Times said he had
brought about a "singularly happy resolution to more than 25 years of feuding" between
landlord and tenants. The state housing commissioner praised Mr. Nelson's buyout
scenario as "a new model to preserve affordable housing".
