The most prestigious annual gala in the world of real estate is set to take place once again, and the city’s real estate elite couldn’t be more excited. The Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) will be hosting its 128th awards event at the beautiful Glasshouse Event space on the stunning Hudson River waterfront. This iconic venue has been the home of the event for the last two years and has proven to be the perfect backdrop for this illustrious occasion. However, this time, the gala is making a return to its traditional, pre-pandemic mid-winter date of January 18th.
After a Zoom-only affair in 2021 and a temporary switch to June in 2022, the decision to bring the event back to January was driven by popular demand. Attendees expressed a longing for the energy and purpose that comes with gathering in the dead of winter, at the beginning of a new year. There was a consensus that the spring dates, with everyone’s minds already drifting towards the Hamptons, detracted from the gala’s unique charm. As REBNY chairman Douglas Durst eloquently stated, “Returning to its traditional January date will infuse the new year with fresh energy and the historic spirit that has guided our industry forward for generations.”
Last April, over 1,000 guests were treated to a delightful sit-down dinner format, a departure from the previous year’s more casual cocktail-style affair. The event took place against the breathtaking backdrop of the river and skyline, while a modern soundtrack, including some unexpected rap tunes, set the mood. Esteemed individuals such as Newmark CEO Barry Gosin, CBRE tristate CEO Mary Ann Tighe, and Cushman & Wakefield tristate chairman John C. Santora were honored for their outstanding contributions to the industry. As for the 2024 gala, the winners will be announced in the coming weeks, and attendees can look forward to culinary delights from acclaimed chefs Daniel Boulud and Hillary Sterling of Ci Siamo, with more renowned chefs to be revealed soon.
This year’s gala promises to be a truly unforgettable evening, filled with glamour, celebration, and a renewed sense of purpose. The city’s real estate royalty will come together once again to honor the achievements of their peers and revel in the spirit of camaraderie that has defined this prestigious event for over a century. The REBNY Awards Gala continues to be a highlight of the industry calendar, and this year’s iteration is poised to surpass all expectations.
