Manhattan, NY JCCA honored Eastern Consolidated co-founders Daun Paris and Peter Hauspurg at a sold out gala that raised $1.5 million for the child welfare agency.

Presenting JCCA’s Tikkun Olam Award to Paris and Hauspurg were the couple’s children, Philip and Alexandra Hauspurg, whose volunteer work on JCCA’s Westchester Campus as middle school students 18 years ago inspired their parents to get involved with the nonprofit organization. 

Hauspurg, chairman and CEO of Eastern Consolidated, currently serves as the chairman of the JCCA Board of Trustees. Together he and Paris, president of Eastern Consolidated, have served on the JCCA Board of Trustees for a combined total of 20 years. In addition to mentoring and volunteering, the pair donated a building on JCCA’s Pleasantville Campus to house a program they cofounded.

 “Daun Paris and Peter Hauspurg have made an indelible imprint on the landscape of New York City, from their real estate success to their commitment to supporting our most vulnerable residents,” said JCCA CEO Ronald Richter, former commissioner for NYC’s Administration for Children’s Services. “We are thrilled to honor their generosity, energy, and devotion to our kids with our 2017 Tikkun Olam Award.”

NBC’s Melissa Russo hosted the event and jazz singer Nicole Henry performed. JCCA also presented a special award to Rita Soronen, president and CEO of The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

 Founded in 1822, JCCA (formerly known as Jewish Child Care Association) is the second oldest charity in the nation and fourth largest child welfare agency in New York State. JCCA operates in all five boroughs of New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County, providing Foster Care, Mental Health, and Educational services and addresses the severe medical needs and developmental challenges that often present in this group.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking

Many long-time property owners are divesting from their rent stabilized properties at an increasingly rapid pace. This trend has gained momentum primarily due to the unyielding permanence of rent laws over the past six years and the increasing operating costs that continue to outstrip rent growth.
