RXR Chairman and CEO, Scott Rechler, was recognized as The Harry B. Helmsley Distinguished New Yorker for exceptional accomplishments in the profession and invaluable contributions to New York’s civic welfare at the Real Estate Board of New York’s 129th Annual Gala this week. In a feature interview, Rechler looked back over his career thus far and discussed his commitment to New York City:
“When you look around the country, there’s no city as healthy as New York City is right now,” said Rechler. “There’s no city that’s as in demand by the talent. The best and brightest around the world want to be in New York City. There’s the diversity of industry, the culture, the character, the energy of our streets. When you travel the world, as I do when I meet with my investors, they say that the best place to invest is the United States, and, in the United States, the best city is New York. So, despite our challenges, we are still positioned as the best and healthiest city.”
