Robert Schlein, managing partner of Sullivan & Cromwell's real estate practice, said one of the strengths of the group is its place within the broader corporate practice area of the firm, allowing attorneys to work with companies on transactions that overlap into other fields, such as private equity or sports. Schlein said that structure gives them a competitive advantage and is more enjoyable for the client. "There's a small team working with them as opposed to different pockets they're not as familiar with," Schlein said. "We really think of ourselves as both real estate lawyers and general corporate lawyers." At the firm of about 900 lawyers, the roughly 27 partners and associates in the real estate group work mostly out of New York, though some are in London, Tokyo and Frankfurt. Partner Anthony Colletta said Sullivan & Cromwell's representation of Goldman Sachs unit Broad Street Principal Investments LLC as it acquired about $750 million worth of residential San Francisco real estate from multiple sellers — about 1,450 apartments across 61 buildings — is an example of the depth of the real estate group.

    ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT TO CRAIN’S NEW YORK BUSINESS Honors New York City Leaders at Annual Banquet The year 2017 was an eventful one for New York City’s real estate market. Although rents have receded for Manhattan retail properties this year, leasing of commercial property in the borough was on the upswing toward the close of the year. On the residential front, closed sales in Manhattan remained stable from the previous year; and in Brooklyn, prices for townhouses hit a record $1.2 million in the third quarter. At the same time, there were new average price records set in sales of co-ops in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens; sales of condos in Queens; and sales of one-to-three family dwellings in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. The Bronx, meanwhile, saw a boom in development. Construction starts for 2017 are A LEGACY OF SUCCESS expected to be greater than $2 billion, making it the third year in a row, according to the New York Building Congress. “The five boroughs are buzzing with excitement,” said John H. Banks, president of the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY). But there are also ongoing challenges that call for smart public policy. Affordable housing, construction safety, sustainability, taxes and zoning issues are among the biggest issues facing New York City’s real estate community at the moment, said Banks. “New York’s affordable housing crisis can only be addressed by increasing our production of new housing,” said Banks. “It is important to maintain the quality COMMERCIAL | RESIDENTIAL | RETAIL | FINANCE of our existing inventory of affordable housing, but we will need approximately 200,000 additional affordable units if we are to close the gap between the number of households at median income and the number of existing units at rents they can afford.” Read on to learn how REBNY is working to make a difference and for a look at the seven movers and shakers being honored at REBNY’s 122nd Annual Banquet, who are NEW YORK CITY’S LARGEST OWNER OF COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE shaping the city’s skyline and quality of life.
