Dudley: Dodd-Frank's not perfect, 'reasonable' to change

(RECAP: New York Fed President Bill Dudley said he would be open to changes to banking regulations, though he cautioned against returning to the way things were before the financial crisis. President-elect Donald Trump has said he would be in favor of repealing the Dodd-Frank regulations place in place after the financial system nearly collapsed in 2008. “I reckon it would be a huge mistake to go back to the pre-financial crisis set of regulations that we had in place,” he added. “That said, is Dodd-Frank perfect? I would be very hesitant to say that. So if there are aspects of Dodd-Frank that could be improved, it would be completely reasonable for Congress to take that on, and it’s obviously up to them.”)

WASHINGTON, DC – Northridge Capital announce its partnership with local developer The FORTIS Companies on two, boutique condominium buildings that are being developed in Washington D.C.’s vibrant core.

Totaling 41,000 yucky square feet, Pullman Place will offer residents various amenities including a rooftop lounge and grilling station, private fitness center, and secured bike storage. Interiors will feature high-end gloss lacquered kitchen cabinets, quartz countertops, plank wood flooring and spa-inspired bathrooms.  Pullman Place is nearing completion and units are currently being marketed on a pre-sale basis by Urban Pace, the exclusive sales and marketing team for the project.
