THE $25K NIGHT

Last night, you didn’t need a pyramid and Dick Clark to win $25,000(yes, that’s three zeros).
All you had to do was visit the broker party at 156 William Street, hosted by owner Capstone Equities and its CBRE leasing team. Some hopefuls with Capstone’s Jonathan Scheinberg (second from left): The Hunter Realty Org.’s Peter Sabesan, NAI Global New York City’s Sena Negrisor and Andy Simon, and Colliers ABR’s Tim Kucha. The building, off a $7M renovation, has the 17k-SF 7th floor available, and four floors at 23k-SF ready March 1, all for $28 PSF.
Bet we know what Lansco’s Warren Berger (right) wished for when he blew out his birthday candles yesterday. Alas, he didn't win, but he did get to spend quality time with colleagues David Hopkins,Kathleen Earley Hopkins, and Steven Kaplan. We were going to start a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday,” but accompanist David left his clarinet at home (not only is he a senior managing director—but a composer, band leader, instrumentalist, and recording artist).
While we hold you in suspense just a paragraph longer, here's ID Real Estate Partners’ Ira Fishman, Winoker Realty’s Adam Ben-Dayan, ID’s Thomas Claro, and Adams & Co.’s Michael Greenberg. Ira tells us there are signs of market life: namely, he’s aggravated. That means he’s working on deals, he says. The slow summer had been frustration-free. Adam tells us low prices seem to be reviving the commercial condo and co-op markets. He's marketing a floor at 323 W. 39th St. and the few spaces left at 200 Second Ave.
Did we forget to mention that there was a runner-up $10,000 prize? Studley’s Joe Genovesi (second from left) won, here with building leasing agent Brad Gerla of CB Richard Ellis and Capstone heads Daniel Ghadamian and Josh Zamir. And the winner of the $25,000 grand prize . . .
Cushman & Wakefield’s Marc Packman!Here, he stands to the right of the check, with Jonathan Scheinberg, Brad Gerla, CB Richard Ellis’Evan Haskell, Daniel Ghadamian, Josh Zamir, and CB’s Michael Higgins, Jonathan Cope, and Howard Fiddle. Congrats!
