Over 2,000 people attended the Real Estate Board of New York’s annual banquet last Thursday night (see a story on the affair here). The Real Deal milled around the event, held at the New York Hilton, and chatted with real estate pros and politicians — from City Council Speaker Christine Quinn to Mary Ann Tighe, chairman of REBNY & CEO of CBRE’s tri-state region, to Bruce Mosler, chairman of global brokerage at Cushman & Wakefield, to developers Joseph Moinian and Douglas Durst among others — about what they are seeing going on in the marketplace (see video above). The Real Deal also captured some protesters that were on the scene.
