GENERAL OVERVIEW

Michael Fazio is a third generation builder/developer with over thirty years of professional experience in the New York metropolitan area.  Throughout his career, he has built more than 800 homes and various commercial buildings, largely comprised of affordable, middle-income housing designed for young New York City families.

He has long been involved in the industry’s professional organizations, particularly as a member of the Building Industry Association of New York City (BIANYC) since 1984.  This is a local trade association of builders, contractors and related businesses and suppliers in Staten Island, the Bronx and Brooklyn.  He was elected to serve as the organization’s President in 1996.  At that time, he was the youngest individual to hold this position in the Association’s 27- year history.  In 2007 he was named the Housing Advisor to the Staten Island Economic Development Corporation.

Concurrently, he became involved in New York State Builders’ Association (NYSBA) and National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB), of which the Building Industry Association is a local affiliate.  Mr. Fazio has also served these organizations with distinction in a variety of elected and appointed positions. In January 2001, he was elected President of NYSBA, a trade association of 18 local affiliates with 3,500 members across the State.  Among his accomplishments, he played a pivotal role in the Association’s drive, under NAHB’s auspices, to create a fund to help address the housing needs of the victims and families of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.  For these efforts, he was honored with a Special Recognition Award by the Associated Builders and Owners of Greater New York, Inc.  He also has held various leadership positions at NAHB which include New York State representative and New York State Build PAC chairman. Mr. Fazio was inducted into the New York State Builder’s Hall of Fame in October of 2014.

An active supporter of a variety of civic and charitable causes, Mr. Fazio is the founding director of Home Aid NYC and one of the founding members of the Staten Island Film Festival.  He remains involved in the fundraising and development efforts of St. Peter’s Boys High School and the Staten Island Children’s Museum. 

Mr. Fazio holds B.S and M.B.A. degrees in Economics from Wagner College and attended the Real Estate Institute of New York University’s School of Continuing Education.
