As quoted in The City
Unit Two Development was quoted in an article in The City, discussing the rollout timeline for ADU regulations.
Wil Fisher, founding principal of Unit Two Development, a firm that helps homeowners navigate the ADU process, said he’s spoken with dozens of people who want to build ADUs on their properties or convert existing spaces — like garages — into livable quarters, even if they can’t quite yet move forward.
“People are excited. It’s really a game-changer,” Fisher said. “There are layers to this process and the administrative roll-out is key to making sure it’s a success and we actually deliver these units.”

Filed Comments on Interim Flood Risk Area Map
Unit Two Development filed comments to New York City’s proposed rule on an Interim Flood Risk Area Map, which would affect the places in which ADUs can be constructed.
Unit Two Development supports the City’s efforts to protect life and safety in the face of accelerating climate volatility, including increased rainfall and urban flooding. However, the proposed rule is overly restrictive in ways that limit the development of backyard ADUs without materially advancing public safety.
