CoreNet New York City

What was your greatest professional accomplishment or most notable project, deal, or transaction in 2024? 

In 2024, CoreNet NYC strengthened its commitment to supporting and expanding the network of XBE firms through their XBE Sponsorship iniative. The program encourages CoreNet sponsors to support an XBE firm by purchasing a sponsorship on their behalf, giving them access to all the benefits of CoreNet NYC. The initiative offers smaller companies and start-ups the chance to meet where companies are and expand their network, gain industry insights, and create new business opportunities. By fostering connections and providing resources, the XBE Sponsorship program aligns with CoreNet NYC’s dedication to diversifying the real estate industry and the organizations within it.

This cycle of growth will continue reshaping the city’s real estate market as landlords adapt to meet evolving needs.
