Remember, in a city as driven as New York, you need the competitive edge.

Women's History Month is an important time to recognize and celebrate women's many outstanding achievements throughout history. While there are too many to name, four powerful women in real estate joined CREWNY on March 2 for the annual "Powerful Women Luncheon" to discuss New York City's revival.

Since March of last year, property firms have reported a trend of people leaving the City searching for more outdoor space and bigger homes, made easy by remote work. Although a large number of relocations last year pushed New York into the most significant population decline in decades, the panelists were optimistic about the come-back of iconic New York.

Cathy Cunningham, Co-Deputy Editor and Finance Director at Commercial Observer, served as moderator and asked the panelists if they thought the recovery possibly looked like 'The Roaring 20s.' Like that historical decade of great socialism, 2021's New York sees a reemergence of investment in our communities.

Stay tuned for the launch of the CREWNY Impact Awards, which follow the CREW Network Impact Awards categories and format and will be open for nominations by May 1.
