Rebecca Tuteur, 27
Leasing associate at SL Green Realty
Rebecca Tuteur knows a thing or two about New York City landmarks.
As part of her work at SL Green Realty, Tuteur helped coordinate the construction of 40 new office suites at the Graybar building, the 1.5 million-square-foot tower above Grand Central Terminal.
She has also helped lease out the Sloan & Robertson-designed, Art Deco property. Tuteur — alongside other SL Green and Cushman & Wakefield brokers — represented owner SL Green last year in a 10,000-square-foot deal for the humanitarian aid organization Concern Worldwide and a 22,442-square-foot lease for education company Penton Learning Systems.
Beyond Grand Central, Tuteur helps manage leasing efforts at 15 SL Green properties across Midtown, SoHo and the Financial District. She had a hand in some of SL Green’s biggest leases of 2024, including Bloomberg’s expansion to nearly 1 million square feet at 919 Third Avenue and consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal’s new 220,000-square-foot office at 100 Park Avenue.
On those two major deals, Tuteur helped support SL Green’s veteran brokerage teams by prepping for tours, gathering leasing documents, and ensuring that those spaces were move-in ready for the tenants.
“We are the ones that speak to the tenants in the beginning, and we’re promising them all these things,” Tuteur said. “We have to go back to our internal teams to make sure that everyone’s on the same page so we can deliver this space to them, as we said.”
Outside of her life at SL Green, Tuteur helps other commercial real estate professionals get their start in the industry as co-chair of the mentorship program at Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW). At CREW, she connects younger women in commercial real estate with those with decades of experience, and hosts events on interviewing and networking.
Tuteur is also a mentor herself, advising a first-generation Barnard student through Big Brothers Big Sisters New York.
