Girand of MHP Real Estate: Every deal is a good deal

Name: Roxana Girand Title: Partner, Brokerage Services Company Name: MHP Real Estate Services LLC Follow my company on Twitter @MHPdealmaker What year did you start your career in commercial real estate: 1999 Real Estate Associations/Organizations: REBNY, YMWREA What recent project or transaction are you most proud of? When you do good work with good people, every deal is a good deal but I'm particularly proud of what we accomplished bringing Premier Exhibitions' new Saturday Night Live exhibit to 417 Fifth Ave. this year. I had an excellent deal, a terrific tenant and a superb support team and all three were critical in realizing that vision. I was also particularly proud to welcome John Barrett Salon to 10 West 56th St. It's a beautiful, historic building and we worked tirelessly to find just the right tenant and I couldn't be happier with that deal. It's also hard not to mention the recent acquisition by a client of One Pepsi Way in Somers, NY. It is a spectacular campus property. What recent honor, achievement or recognition has meant the most to you and why? I was honored to receive several awards from my firm this year and while it's always nice to be recognized, the truth is nothing is more rewarding than having colleagues you've worked with in the past come back to do more business with you. I believe it's a reflection of the work ethic, dedication and commitment that we have in making the best deal possible for our clients and treating our partners with integrity and it means more to me than any award or title could convey.
