2026 Ones To Watch - Rising Stars: Remi Norris, TerraCRG

 

“I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with Remi at TerraCRG, and it’s been impressive to see how quickly he’s developed. He has a strong understanding of Brooklyn’s mixed-use and multifamily market, particularly in the downtown Brooklyn area and surrounding submarkets, and he approaches each deal with focus and discipline. Remi’s ability to build client trust and stay composed through complex negotiations has made him a standout early in his career.” 

What accomplishment or project so far in your career are you most proud of?

The accomplishment I’m most proud of is the sale of 390 Court St. in Carroll Gardens. The property had been in the same family for generations, so it was about much more than getting a strong price. It was about earning the owners’ trust, understanding what mattered most to them, and helping guide them through an emotional and complex process. Seeing the deal through and helping the family transition a property that was such a big part of their history was incredibly rewarding. It reminded me that real estate is ultimately about people.

What trends or opportunities do you see shaping the future of your industry?

I think one of the biggest opportunities shaping our industry is the continued growth of Brooklyn’s mixed-use and multifamily market, particularly in neighborhoods surrounding Park Slope. Areas like Gowanus, Carroll Gardens, and Prospect Heights continue to attract residents, businesses, and investors because of their strong fundamentals and long-term appeal. As these neighborhoods evolve, local market knowledge and a deep understanding of community dynamics will become even more valuable in helping owners and investors make informed decisions.
