Yesterday’s
IREM
Luncheon |
|
| |
|
Times are tough, but the Big
Apple always ends up in a better
position after a downturn, NYC
EDC prez Seth Pinsky
told members at yesterday’s monthly
IREM luncheon at the New York
Helmsley Hotel. We stopped by to hear
about what the city government is doing
to assure so (and for the free
food). |

Seth (second from left) with Leebar
Management’s Edward Andron,
IREM chapter president James
Hayden of Cushman & Wakefield,
Kismet Construction’s Karen
Shunick, and TIAA-CREF’s
Nicholas Stolatis. He reports
that the city is taking a three-pronged
approach to emerge
unscathed: making sure the
government is increasing
efficiency by doing
more with less; investing in
public works like Willets Point
and Hunter’s Point South; and creating new jobs
through
diversification. |
| |
 |
|
IREM also welcomed five new
CPMs into the chapter: Dawning
Real Estate’s Angela Zarrilli;
Skanska USA’s Richard Zarrilli;
The Heights Real Estate’s George
Huang; Waldron Associates’ Eric
Waldron; and Transaction Modeling’s
Michael Hammerslag. Unlike
Chief Justice John Roberts,
we’re sure that James Hayden recited the oath
correctly. |

Glen Oaks Villages’ Mildred Marshburn
(center, with Karen
Shunick and Advantage SafeRent’s
Paul Mitchell) keeps busy
managing 3k co-ops in Queens,
but sneaks in some time on the
links as a member of Long Island’s
Executive Women’s Golf
Association of Long
Island. |
| |
 |
|
SBW Management’s Winnie
Morgan, Great American Brokerage’s
Paul Fetscher, and Goldblatt
Associates’ Leslie Goldblatt.
Paul’s been busy lately, helping wireless
carrier MetroPCS open stores in
Queens and
Brooklyn. Expect
further expansion into Long Island,
Westchester, Hudson County, and Manhattan in the
coming months, he tells us. |

 |
|
March is going to be eventful for
James Hayden (right, with
Penmark Realty’s Jeffrey
Klarfeld and Alfredo
Sanchez). In addition to holding the
chapter’s annual Asset & Property
Management Symposium on March 18th, the
Cub Scout volunteer will be
sleeping on a battleship in
Massachusetts with his son. |
| |
 |
|
DeWitt Stern’s Alan
Rappaport (center, with Richard
Zarrilli and DeWitt colleague
Diane Mittenzwei) will be
speaking at a seminar on the
insurance market during the
IREM symposium. He also owns an interest in
The Pig Hill Inn
bed-and-breakfast in Cold
Spring, NY. |

Related’s
Judy Wong and
Graubard Miller’s
Peter
Schwartz. Despite the economy, Peter’s
been closing
shopping center
deals around the New York metro, and sold a
multi-family development in
Brooklyn. He tells us it’s slower than usual,
but there are buyers ready to take advantage
of opportunities. Judy reports
Related is finishing up on its
Brompton,
Harrison, and
Superior
Ink
condo
devs in
Manhattan. |

R.Y. Management’s Eric
Clarke, Lisa Dragone,
and Teresa Tota report that
there’s plenty of work these days. That means
Lisa, who usually plays on two softball
teams and in two bowling
leagues, has to cut back on sports a
bit.
Reader suggestions for ‘09’s theme
song: The Alberty Group’s Judith Alberty
says “Eye Of The Tiger” (by the appropriately
named Survivor); Sperry Van Ness’ Neil Golub
suggests “Beat It,” “Smooth Criminal” (with a
shout-out to Madoff), “Cry Me A River,” “I’m A
Believer,” “Another One Bites the Dust” or
“Stayin’ Alive.” Send other song suggestions or
