NEW YORK CITY—The Real Estate Board of New York announced the honorees of its 124th annual banquet next January. Award recipients have exemplified a commitment to the real estate community and New York City, not only reshaping the skyline but upping efforts for increased diversity, said William C. Rudin, REBNY chairman at a press conference.

Held in high regard was the legacy of Héctor Figueroa, president of the local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union, posthumously awarded the Kenneth R. Gerrety Humanitarian Award. Figueroa was notified about the accolade before his death this year.
