NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/
Commercial Observer, the premier media and information services company that informs and connects leaders in the commercial real estate industry, partnered with the
Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY), New York s leading real estate advocacy and trade organization, to host a historic
Celebration of Public Service event on Thursday, January 28, 2021.
The event came together virtually in the midst of the pandemic to jumpstart 2021 with a discussion on the City s recovery plans. The program brought together New York s most influential business leaders and City and State officials to make one message clear:
CRE Gets Its Ducks And Dollars In A Row For Crucial Mayoral Run There are more than 30 people currently running for mayor.
“This is a critical moment for real leadership,” said RXR CEO Scott Rechler, who is also chairman of the Regional Plan Association. “There s no superman out there, but we want someone that s capable, someone that s well-intentioned, someone that is not tied down by ideology and someone that reaches out to the broader New York community to come together to rebuild the city.”
More than 30 people have thrown their hat in the ring, including Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and city Comptroller Scott Stringer, both of whom lead in fundraising, with $7.3M and $6.5M, respectively, per the New York City Campaign Finance Board. Ray Maguire, who is leaving his job as vice chairman at Citigroup to enter the race, now has $4.8M of private funds in his coffers.

The Real Deal.
Stringer’s campaign, which was quoted in the Post story and for nearly a year did not refute it, told

A Cushman & Wakefield team of Ron Lo Russo, Ethan Silverstein, Dan Organ and Anthony Cugini represented the landlord, DivcoWest. CBRE’s Mary Ann Tighe, Christopher Mansfield, Evan Fiddle and Ariel Ball represented the tenant.
“Manhattan Theater Club’s long-term commitment to the building is yet another example of the resiliency of New York City,” said Ethan Silverstein. “It is also a testament to DivcoWest’s positioning of the property, offering tenants an exciting and safe work experience.”
