Real estate luminaries turn out for REBNY’s 127th annual awards gala
The market might be as quiet as a mouse, but the mouse roared at the Real Estate Board of New York’s 127th annual awards gala at the Glasshouse event space on Thursday night.
Unlike at last year’s gala, when guests grumbled that the new walk-around format felt like a routine cocktail party, table seating — and a sometimes raucous soundtrack that included rap — put the buzz back.
Mayor Eric Adams joined more than 1,000 real estate luminaries at the schmooze-fest which featured a two-course dinner by Gramercy Tavern chef Michael Anthony and Daniel Boulud.
The Glasshouse’s windows and terrace afforded views of tower-top lightings of the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center in REBNY red. The evening’s honorees included Newmark CEO Barry Gosin, CBRE tristate CEO Mary Ann Tighe and Cushman & Wakefield tristate chairman John C. Santora.
A portion of proceeds will go to the REBNY Foundation, which supports and funds social impact initiatives in New York City.
