After law school Lincoln joined the Hudson Yards Development Corporation (HYDC) where he worked his way from law clerk to VP & Counsel. Hudson Yard is a non-profit quasi-governmental corporation that is charged with the $3 Billion redevelopment project of the Midtown West neighborhood in Manhattan. They are currently building three parks and working on the No. 7 Subway Line Extension to 34th Street and 11th Avenue. In addition to his work with HYDC he opened a hotel management company in 2013 and is managing three hotels throughout Florida with plans to expand in the near future.
