New York, NY ABS Partners Real Estate hosted many of the industry’s top real estate executives at 145 East 57th St. for an invitation-only luncheon to hear Manhattan borough president Gale Brewer share her views on the Midtown East Rezoning and what it means for Manhattan and the city as a whole, as well as its effect on brokers and the marketplace. ABS gave away $3,500 worth of prizes. The borough president is involved in everything that happens on the island of Manhattan — from changes in street fair regulations, to the economic impact of vacant storefronts, improvements to the subway system and NYCHA housing, construction safety, fare increases, and so much more. Owned by ABS, and Benenson Investment Co., 145 East 57th St. is a 12-story, 64,000 s/f “curated” office property located along Billionaires’ Row between Lexington and Third Aves.
