Dan Kaplan has served in a design and leadership capacity for many of the firm's largest projects, crafting modern award-winning buildings that are distinguished by imagination, responsibility, and sophistication. With over 26 years of experience, Dan excels in the design of complex urban buildings. He leads the firm's work on commercial and residential projects and is adept at creating large-scale high performance buildings and urban design. Dan's efforts have advanced the design and technical rigor of FXFOWLE's work.

Significant projects currently under Dan's direction include a new 42-story tower combining office, parking, and retail spaces in Istanbul, Turkey; a 206,000-square foot mixed-use project combining residential, medical, and educational components for HealthCare Chaplaincy’s new palliative care facility in Manhattan; Eleven Times Square, a new corporate office tower in Midtown Manhattan; the Rudin-Saint Vincent's development in the Greenwich Village historic district; the renovation and expansion of New York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center (in association with Epstein); the Landmark Tower in Arlington, VA; NorthSide Piers residential development on the Williamsburg waterfront; and a new Class A 110,000-square-foot office building for Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, which includes offices for senior administration, physicians, scientists, and researchers, as well as clinical and research space.

Dan and his team completed the award-winning LEED Gold Helena Apartment Tower; The New York Times Building, designed in collaboration with Renzo Piano Building Workshop and a National AIA Honor Award recipient; Archstone Clinton, a three building housing development in Manhattan; the development plans for the Eastern and Western Rail Yards for Hudson Yards Development Corporation and the subsequent design for the Durst-Vornado proposal; and three distinguished residential buildings in Manhattan's Chelsea district. Dan's entry for an invited competition yielded a state-of-the-art environmentally-friendly 40-story tower in Monterrey, Mexico designed to achieve LEED Silver and to use 35% less energy and 60% less water than current Class-A practices.

A graduate of Cornell University, Dan received seven honors and medals for outstanding design work and scholarship during his tenure there.
