NEW YORK CITY—As the industry's biggest night of the year approaches, the Real Estate Board of New York has revealed the list of leaders who will be presented with top honors at the association's 120th annual banquet in January.
Among the honorees will be the Stacom family—marking the first time such a group receives the Bernard H. Mendik Lifetime Leadership in Real Estate Award award—and the late John Zuccotti, an industry leader who died last week.
"The Stacoms are true industry legends whose collective contributions are worthy of this unprecedented recognition by REBNY," says Rob Speyer, REBNY chairman. "We look forward to gathering with all of our colleagues to celebrate the achievements of the real estate community, toast the vibrant real estate market, and posthumously honor John Zuccotti, a former REBNY chairman and one of New York's greatest civic leaders."
"The wide-ranging achievements of the industry leaders we will honor this year have had remarkable impact that extends throughout the real estate community and far beyond," adds John H. Banks, III, REBNY president. "Their dedication to professional, philanthropic, and humanitarian service exemplifies what it means to invest in our city's future and we thank them for their tremendous efforts."
The Mendik award will be given posthumously to Matthew Stacom, former vice chairman of Cushman & Wakefield and his daughters Tara Stacom, executive vice chairman of Cushman and Darcy Stacom, vice chairman and head of the investment properties group for CBRE.
