Observer Living Condo Showcase Wrap Up Party

The New York Observer cocktail reception at Thom Bar celebrated the success of it's first condo showcase. Dozens of the evens exhibitors and real estate brokers were thanked in person by Observer Media Group publisher, Jared Kushner. "This event exceeded all of our expectations,” said Kushner. "From the start of the day, it was a huge success, with lines around the block before we even opened the Puck Building’s doors. There was a constant – and heavy – flow of visitors throughout the day and the response from developers, brokers and consumers was uniformly positive. This showcase was the place to be and we look forward to the next one in the fall.”

“We thought the Observer Showcase was great,” remarked Joe Ferrara, a partner at BFC Partners, the developer of Toren, a new 240-unit, 38-story condominium in Downtown Brooklyn. “The turnout was great and we’ve had lots of inquiries and several sales. We would definitely participate in this event again.”

"The showcase was a wonderful opportunity to interact with buyers as well as agents," said David Kest, Sales Director of 45 John Street, an 84-unit condominium conversion in the Financial District. "The lively atmosphere and large crowd made this a most successful sales event."
