Notable New Yorkers 2021
MAKING NEW YORK HISTORY AWARD
Celebrating East Midtown and honoring
MARY ANN TIGHE
CEO of CBRE New York Tri-State Region
OCT 20, 2021 5:30 - 7:30 PM
Cocktails at the Vandy Club at ONE VANDERBILT
The Skyscraper Museum celebrated the rise of East Midtown and presented the 2021 Making New York History Award to Mary Ann Tighe, CEO of CBRE New York Tri-State Region.
For the first time, the Museum's annual award, which recognizes the remarkable individuals and buildings that have shaped New York City's signature skyline, shifted from our downtown gallery. Adapting to the COVID19 pandemic concerns, we moved our party outdoors to an exceptionally urban and urbane venue, the Vandy Club at One Vanderbilt. Folks mingled in the spacious reception area and outdoor balcony of SL Green's new office tower at 42nd St, and Madison Avenue, One Vanderbilt.
During her remarkable career of more than three decades in commercial real estate, Mary Ann Tighe has been a force in the transformation of New York’s skyline. From the revitalization of Times Square, to the rebuilding of Downtown after 9/11, to the westward expansion of Midtown, as well as the strengthening and renewal of East Midtown’s rezoning, she has played a catalytic role. Mary Ann has constructed deals for more than 110.2 million square feet of commercial transactions. Her projects have anchored more than 14.4 million square feet of new construction in the New York region – a record in commercial brokerage.
Mary Ann Tighe has been CEO of CBRE’s New York Tri-State Region since 2002, and under her leadership, CBRE has become the city’s preeminent firm in commercial real estate. A leader in the professional community, she has served as the Chair of REBNY and holds countless industry and civic awards that represent her creativity and influence in the life and future of the city.
The award ceremony saluted Mary Ann Tighe with toasts.
