NEW YORK CITY-A block from the hub of midtown, piano music adds a mixer ambiance to the 101 Club where guests gather for the Real Estate Board of New York’s 2008 Retail Deal of the Year Awards. The annual sponsored event and cocktail party allowed the upper echelon of the New York retail to clink glasses, raising their drinks to the two winners picked from 13 submissions.

Each deal, notes the invitation, is chasing an award which will honor which deal “most significantly benefited the Manhattan retail market” or the most creative retail deal. The event was sponsored by Cushman & Wakefield, Winick Realty Group, Jack Rsenick & Sons, Inc., W&M Properties, Robert K. Futterman & Associates, Vornado Realty Trust, CB Richard Ellis and Crain’s New York Business.

Joanne Podell, chairperson of REBNY’s retail committee hushed the gathered crowd and introduced Robin Abrams, EVP at The Lansco Corp. Abrams is a REBNY retail committee member and one of the judges for the awards. She listed the 13 submissions for the award and, of course, the winners. Officially, the Most Significantly Benefits Manhattan went to the leasing of Spanish retailer Zara at 500 5th Ave. brokered by Harry F. Blair and Clifford F. Molloy of FirstService Williams.
