The 46 honorees were chosen by a five-person steering committee, made up of BGO’s Abbe Franchot Borok, Citigroup’s Linda Foggie, RXR Realty’s Whitney Arcaro, Invesco Real Estate’s Lesley Lisser and Hunton Andrews Kurth’s Laurie Grasso.

As many in New York City's CRE sector look to "survive till '25," Bisnow's 2023 New York Women Leading Real Estate event celebrated the women who have defined the industry this year as it continues to heal from the deep scars left by the pandemic. 

CBRE's Mary Ann Tighe was awarded the first Icon and Influencer award for her work in the industry.
