Last night, just hours before one of New York City real estate's most famous developers was to be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, the rest of the industry gathered for its biggest night of the year: the 121st Real Estate Board of New York Banquet.
Bisnow was in the house at the New York Hilton Midtown, along with more than 2,200 professionals in the real estate industry, to honor the annual winners of REBNY's most esteemed honors.

Forest City Ratner CEO MaryAnne Gilmartin, Transwestern's Lindsey Ornstein, SL Green's Marc Holliday, JLL's Peter Riguardi, Two Trees' Jed Walentas and Silverstein Properties' Bill Dacunto were also given awards.
