Furman Center Mourns Death of Herbert Z. Gold

Jan. 17, 2012: The Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy mourns the death of longtime friend and supporter Herbert Z. Gold, who died on November 25th at the age of 96. A graduate of the NYU School of Law, Herb was a real estate developer in Rockville Centre and Long Island. Herb supported the Furman Center for many years, and most recently, his interest in and commitment to the development of affordable housing spurred him to establish the Herbert Z. Gold Affordable Housing Fellowship at the Furman Center, which was critical to the development and launch of our Subsidized Housing Information Project (SHIP) database last year. Herb’s kindness and compassion, his intellectual curiosity, and his generous spirit will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
