NGKF Nabs REBNY Most Ingenious Deal of the Year Award

The Newmark Grubb Knight Frank team of Barry Gosin, Brian Waterman and Romel Canete was awarded the Real Estate Board of New York’s Henry Hart Rice Award for the Most Ingenious Deal of the Year Award at the trade association’s 69th annual cocktail reception yesterday evening. The deal, which was a lease for Morgan Stanley at One New York Plaza, closed in April of last year.

The judging committee evaluated 37 dealmakers across sales, lease and finance transactions over the last year. So impressive were the submissions, that a presenter at last night’s event at the 101 Club wondered aloud whether the authors of the submissions had advanced degrees in creative writing. Read More

REBNY Announces Ingenious Deal Award Nominees, Newmark and CBRE Dominate List

The Real Estate Board of New York today released the nominees for this year’s Most Ingenious Deal of the Year awards. Board president Steve Spinola said that REBNY had received 19 “very interesting” submissions for the 2013 honors. “As the number of submissions grows, the brokers continue to raise the bar,” Mr. Spinola said in a prepared statement.

Submissions are broken into sales, lease and finance categories. One thing that jumps out about the contending sales and lease deals is the number of brokers from CBRE and Newmark Grubb Knight Frank: eight of the 14 submissions come from the two firms. First, second and third place prize winners will be announced on April 23 at the 101 Club.

The event, which dolls out a trio of awards, ended with three prominent women as winners, a notable result in the male-dominated leasing and sales brokerage business. Read More
