    The NYU School of Professional Studies (NYU SPS) Schack Institute of Real Estate will host the 55th Annual Conference on Capital Markets in Real Estate at the Pierre Hotel in New York City on Tuesday, December 6, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. New York City Mayor Eric Adams is the featured guest speaker.

    One of the foremost forums on the state of the commercial real estate capital markets and investment activity for more than half a century, the Conference will once again convene industry leaders for a vigorous debate on global equity and debt capital flows, institutional and private equity investment activity, and emerging sources of market disruption.

    WE ARE STILL THE GOLDEN APPLE:Larry A. Silverstein, Chairman, Silverstein Properties

    23rd ANNUAL GOLDEN APPLE PANEL :Robert S. Blumenthal, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Real Estate, Gaming, Lodging, and Leisure Group, Americas Deutsche Bank Securities [Moderator],Marty Burger, CEO, Silverstein Properties, MaryAnne Gilmartin, Founder and CEO, MAG Partners,Scott Rechler, Chairman & CEO, RXR and Bill Rudin, CEO and Co-Chairman, Rudin Management Company.

    The Conference finished off with CREFC DEBT FINANCE PANEL, RISK MANAGEMENT AND DATA – Using Data to Manage Macro, Financial and Environmental Risk.

    It was our first time covering this event, and I have to say the most uplifting encouraging speech I heard was by Larry Silverstein, Billionaire Chairman and founder of Silverstein Properties. He went into detail how he started his company alongside his father and how he bought his first building and went to so many banks that turned him down, and how he eventually got a loan from one of the banks, and built his empire. I was so impressed with Mr. Silverstein’s speech, it touched my heart, keeping in mind he is 91.5 years old as he said in his speech, I did a special video of this speech which you can sit back and watch and learn from one of the greatest real-estate Tycoon in the USA and possibly in the World.
