LAST NIGHT’S SCHMOOZE; AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Thanks to everyone who joined Bisnow and the National Realty Club last night for our packed Happy Hour and Schmooze at Van Diemens Bar in Murray Hill—over 300 of you responded, but we lost count at the front door. (An hour-long open bar can do that.)

It's mostly happening on the commercial side.
HD Commercial Real Estate’s Brian Di Spaltro, Synergy Realty’s Anat Yaron and Joan Salwen Fields, and LOMO’s Louis Moskowitz.
