October 4, 2011
After 9/11, New York did what communities often do after a disaster, NYU Schack divisional dean Jim Stuckey (second from left) says. It built back better. September 11 Memorial & Museum CEO Joe Daniels, chapter prez Steven Schleider of Metropolitan Valuation Services, and conference chairs Sharon Locatell of Brown Harris Stevens and Eric Lewis of Cushman & Wakefield joined him last week at Club 101 for the Appraisal Institute Metro NY chapter's conference on the WTC 10 years after 9/11. |
Here are the men in black everyone came to hear speak: BD Hotels principal Richard Born, Westfield Group's Richard Steets, Brookfield Properties' Larry Graham, Port Authority's Philippe Visser, CUNY grad journalism director Greg David, and Battery Park City Authority Robert Serpico. |
And here's the man Joe called "the symbol of resilience," Larry Silverstein (not in black). One thing he's learned in his 50 years in the business: never, ever, ever bet against New York. Also, Class-A office buildings always fill up in New York. |
