When it comes to women in the world of commercial real estate, the barriers have been real and hard to overcome — and that was before the pandemic took its toll.

This episode of Bisnow Reports is coming to you from our New York City Women Leading Real Estate Cocktail & Awards event. This year Bisnow honored 48 female leaders, whose expertise and experience span the industry.
