Built Upon Honesty
For Shelby Johnson, CEO of Theodore Williams
Construction Company, LLC, one of the keys to her rm’s
success is that she and her sta are honest, through and
through,’ she says. And by spending ust a few minutes
in her company, it becomes clear that her telling it like
it is’ policy is not only refreshing, but one that has surely
contributed to the trust she has built among her clients,
sta , and sub-contractors, as this issue’s cover story reveals.
And an increasing level of trust is what we can all use,
particularly among ew ork City residents who have
been uestioning when the warm seasonal weather would
nally arrive. Fortunately, it now has, and the Hamptons is
back to welcoming crowds of shoppers, as evidenced in this
issue’s ‘Heaven in the Hamptons’.
But even more importantly, it has become resoundingly
clear that the ew ork area’s rental properties are again
building in value, particularly when comparing April 201 to
2014 levels. The inside M S Report illustrates this point
through its review of both Manhattan and Brooklyn rentals
to-date.
So, ust as we can trust that the four seasons will ultimately
arrive, we can also trust that ew ork City- based real
estate will ultimately thrive, allowing us all to nd some
time to hopefully relax this Summer. See you in the
Hamptons

Richard B. Hodos of CBRE wins the Most Ingenious
Retail Deal of the Year
Peter Ripka of Ripco Real Estate Corp. takes home the
Most Significant Retail Deal of the Year
THE REAL ESTATE BOARD OF NEW YORK
(REBNY) bestowed top honors for the most creative and
signi cant ew ork City retail deals of 201 on June 10th
at the annual Retail Deal of the ear Awards. The top two
knock-out deals selected from an array of 1 retail transactions were announced at the Retail Committee’s annual
cocktail reception held at Club 101.
•
•
The Most Ingenious Retail Deal of the ear that demonstrates exceptional broker acumen (ingenuity creativity) was presented to Richard B. Hodos of CBRE,
Inc. for A Marriage Made in (Marketing) Heaven The
Polo Ralph Lauren Lease at 711 Fifth Avenue.
The Most Signi cant Retail Deal of the ear that
recogni es the most signi cant retail deal in its overall
characteristics and importance to the ew ork City
retail market was awarded to Peter Ripka of Ripco
Real Estate Corp. for A
C Retail Journey Barneys
Comes Home 107 Seventh Avenue.
We congratulate Richard Hodos and Peter Ripka for
their tremendous creativity, persistence, and success in
negotiating these outstanding deals, said Steven Spinola,
REB
President. The brokers overcame numerous obstacles with the utmost ingenuity and professional skill to
bring even more color to ew ork City’s most prominent
retail corridors with these transactions.
The competition reached a new high this year and
we were thoroughly impressed by all of the submissions
received, added Peter Braus, Managing Principal for Lee
Associates
C and chair of REB
’s Retail Committee. We commend all of the nominees and look forward
to a year of even more retail growth and success for 2014.
Richard B. Hodos of CBRE, winner of the Most Ingenious
Retail Deal of the ear that demonstrates exceptional broker
acumen (ingenuity creativity), created a match made in
marketing heaven by arranging a ,000-s uare-foot lease
on behalf of Ralph Lauren at Coca-Cola’s 711 Fifth Avenue.
Prior to the expiration of The Walt Disney Company’s global
agship store’s lease for the corner ground oor retail space,
a number of potential tenants expressed interest in the space.
However, there was a catch Coca-Cola had vested interest
in making the space into a virtual venue for The Coca-Cola
Experience. It was also important to Coca-Cola that a new
tenant’s brand would be compatible with their own. That’s
when Hodos thought of Ralph Lauren, whom he had completed leases for throughout the country. He saw the fashion
retailer as both a perfect t in brand alignment and a prime
opportunity for Coca-Cola to obtain an income-producing
tenant, rather than incurring costs for developing the experience concept and keeping the space for their own use. With
a never give up attitude, Hodos overcame many challenges
over four years by making the case to the landlord and the
tenant, educating both sides on the market and value of the
transaction, rising above the competition, and securing the
lease with an aggressive o er, which has grown into a global
brand alliance that now stretches far beyond ew ork City.
The Most Signi cant Retail Deal of the ear, presented
to Peter Ripka of Ripco Real Estate Corp., recogni ed
his transaction that brought Barneys back to 107 Seventh
Avenue as the most signi cant retail deal for its overall
characteristics and importance to the ew ork City
retail market. The 57,000-s uare-foot Chelsea retail condo
had originally been home to Barneys before the high-end
department store decamped to Madison Avenue and the
space was leased to Loehmann’s. ears later, when Loehmann’s re uested a lease extension, Ripka helped ownership to reali e the property’s full potential and served as a
reliable industry source for six years throughout the value
o -price retailer’s ups and downs as it continued to pay
only half of what the space could be worth. This relationship proved to be invaluable when Ripka was invited to
sell the building and procured E uity One as the sole
buyer. After securing a Women’s Wear Daily article on the
sale of the property, he was contacted by Barneys about its
interest in moving back to 107 Seventh Avenue via ewmark rubb Knight Frank Retail. Following several series
of negotiations and through steady perseverance, the nine
year ourney concluded after Ripka successfully demonstrated the value of the new lease to all parties involved.
This transaction provided ownership with greater upside
potential, brought Barneys back home to Chelsea, and had
a ma or impact on ew ork City’s retail landscape.

involved, management of expectations, asking uestions,
thoroughly preparing the buyer seller, and getting written
commitment. rossman explained that the agent that is
most transparent and responsive, without giving away their
clients’ secrets, can e ectuate the most successful multiple
bid situation, while maintaining a positive reputation in the
industry.
Concetta Ra , a Senior Managing Director at CitiHabitats, o ered valuable tips on preparing buyers for
today’s market and emphasi ed that the most important
part of the preparation process is getting one’s team and
tools in place. This allows the broker to consult with
buyers and discuss what the process will entail as soon
as they express interest in buying, putting them ahead of
the competition. Ra also stressed the need for brokers
to obtain proof of funds, educate the client, and be as
professional and organi ed as possible.
Sara Rotter, an Executive Director at Halstead Property,
recogni ed time management as the most important skill
for brokers to hone and de ned it as the space between
an action and its outcome. Rotter listed noise, fear, doubt,
and other emotional responses as some of the roadblocks
that can get between an idea and an action a reactive
behavior that is often what causes people to veer o course.
To counter this, she urged attendees to practice more
proactive behavior to accomplish their goals with swiftness.
Matt Leone, Director of Web Marketing Social Media
for Terra Marketing, identi ed the four most important
mediums of social media that brokers should maintain and
consistently communicate through Facebook, Twitter,
LinkedIn, and some form of blogging. He advised brokers
to set aside time every day to interact through these
platforms that their clients are actively engaged with,
noting that this builds trust with existing clients and
fosters a good rapport with potential new clients. Leone
also covered keys to success for using social media in real
estate, such as talking local and becoming a neighborhood
expert, sharing personal successes, and being positive and
consistent with time commitment.
Craig Price, Es . of Belkin Burden Wenig
oldman
spoke about the di erences between the assignment and
the assumption of a mortgage. Complete with a handout
of sample scenarios, Price gave an in-depth explanation of
board package. She put particular emphasis on knowing
as much as possible about the transaction and the people
involved in it, regardless of which side of the transaction you
are on. By doing this, she noted that the chances of one being
unpleasantly surprised at board package time is signi cantly
diminished. Leon also stressed the importance of reading
clients’ tax returns, and knowing what their source of income
is, especially if they work from home.
Michael J. Romer, Es ., Partner Founding Member
for Romer Debbas LLP gave attendees an inside look at
estate sales and the use of various trusts. He emphasized
that a surrogate needs to have an attorney and the owner’s
will, letters testamentary, and estate waiver when acquiring
real estate. Romer also explained how much estate taxes
account for, the di erence between an irrevocable and
revocable trust, and how buying into a trust can protect
one’s identity.

e’re an honest company,” says Shelby Johnson,
CEO of Theodore Williams Construction Company,
LLC (TWCC), “We’re very down-to-earth.” And it is
perhaps this strong level of trustworthiness that
has catapulted her firm into the success it is today,
having tripled its volume in 2011.

Having rst oined TWCC in 1 1 as a pro ect manager, Johnson is
now 0 percent owner, and credits her success to making sure all of
the work not only always got done well, but on time. By the end of
my rst two years in the industry, I was doing my boss’s ob, she says.
But that’s not the only reason. The rm, launched in 1 72, was a general
contractor that took on only smaller pro ects. Johnson, however, was
accustomed to running much larger pro ects during her tenure with
ICO Construction. I therefore applied what I learned at ICO
and transformed TWCC into one that could handle the large pro ects, Johnson says. I was able to put together the right kind of team
to handle any si e pro ect. Her success in recon guring the company
enabled Johnson to rise to Vice-President in 1 4, President in 2000,
and then ma ority owner of the rm in 2001.

Key Goals
1
To provide competitive prices to our clients
without compromising quality.
2
To cater to our client’s needs, no matter how minute, and to be available at all times in providing
superior service by our professional staff.
3
To explicitly follow the Architects’/Engineers’
instructions and plans to ensure the integrity of
each project.
4
To maintain the highest standards in the industry
and efficiently manage even the most intricate
and complex projects.
5
To promote an open and fair bidding practice
within the construction industry.
Her ascension in the rm, however, was built upon a foundation that began long before that. Her father was an electrician, and her brother an electrical engineer, so Johnson
believed she could easily enter the eld as well. She rst
applied to college at The Citadel, never reali ing that being
a woman could be a barrier. If I don’t expect there should
be a problem doing something that hasn’t been done before,
people respond to that, and then there usually isn’t any, she
says. Johnson didn’t end up going to The Citadel, but chose
Texas Tech niversity instead, where she earned a Bachelor
of Science in Construction Engineering Technology. Since
then, Johnson has been bestowed with Texas Tech’s highest honor, Distinguished Engineer’ (200 ), and sits on its
Dean’s Council. I am one of only a few women who has
ever received that award, Johnson comments.
She also values those formative years, and therefore appreciates the importance of mentoring others who are considering entering the construction eld. As such, Johnson
mentors high school and college students, providing them
with everything from a full week interning at her company,
Which is paid, she adds. She also participates in the Port
Authority’s mentor prot g program so that all subcontractors, no matter how new, or how small, are given the same
opportunities. And, when called in to speak to women in
other construction companies, she readily imparts the strategies that have helped her achieve success in what she deems
a man’s world’.
I tell them that women should not go into construction
looking to change the rules. This is still primarily a man’s
business, she says. Instead, women need to approach the
industry without the feeling of being di erent due to their
gender. By feeling neutral, and treating men in a neutral
manner coupled with respect, the issue of gender simply
goes away, she says.
All of these ualities have contributed to paving the way
for Johnson to become one of only a handful of successful
women who occupy leadership roles in the construction
industry, which is further exempli ed by the array of notable

Heaven in the
Hamptons
B
et you thought summer would never come! Even I, the eternal
optimist, had doubts. But it’s here, and it’s time to get thee to the
Hamptons, our own local summer resort. And a number of retailers
and eateries, new and old, also are spending their summers by the sea.
ABOUT THE HAMPTONS
Of course, “The Hamptons” include a number of
towns and villages, some of which are divisions of
each other. The town of Southampton 18 hamlets
and 7 incorporated villages and distinct shopping
and dining districts. The Town of East Hampton,
literally to the east of Southampton, has almost
70 miles of waterfront on three sides (the Atlantic
Ocean to the east and south, and Gardiner’s Bay
to the north), and includes Montauk, Amagansett
and Wainscott. An interesting development in the
last year or so is the growing interest just a bit west
of the traditional divider of The Hamptons the
Shinnecock Canal. More homeowners are buying
in areas including Hampton Bays and uo ue so
expect retail to ourish there in years to come.

MNS Brooklyn Rental Market Report April 2014
Brooklyn Rental Market Report April 2014
A QUICK LOOK
Overall rents increased slightly compared to last month, rising 1.09% from $2,635 in March to $2,664 in April. This marks the first month since January
that overall rental pricing in Brooklyn changed more than one percent. It can be expected that incoming rental inventory throughout Brooklyn in the
coming months will have an upward effect on pricing
Most notably, average rent prices jumped up 9.43% from this time last year from $2,434,27 to $2,663.93.This is due to a growing demand and supply
of luxury Studio and One-Bedroom units in neighborhoods like Bedford-Stuyvesant and Boerum Hill. Pricing for studios increased 45.40% in BedfordStuyvesant and 59.23% in Boerum Hill since the previous year.As new developments continue to be built in Brooklyn neighborhoods, we can expect to
continue to see a steady rise in price for these types of units.
Bedford-Stuyvesant again saw the highest increase in pricing this month relative to the rest of Brooklyn. Each unit type pricing increased: Studio units in
Bedford-Stuyvesant increased 21.6%, One-Bedroom units increased 5.2%, and Two-Bedroom units increased 6.0% since April of last year. The increase in
studios is due to four new units on the market off of Greene, Franklin, Park, and Marcus Garvey Boulevard.
Now that spring rental season has officially begun, we can expect to see a high influx and turnover of these types of units in Brooklyn.

MNS Manhattan Rental Market Report April 2014
Manhattan Rental Market Report April 2014
A QUICK LOOK
Rent prices in Manhattan rose by approximately 1% from $3,806 in March to $3,842 in April. Similarly, rent prices in Manhattan
increased only 1.1% compared to April of 2013 from $3,800. Listing inventory increased 15% compared to last month from 6,696
to 7,676. This reflects an increase in marketing units in preparation for the anticipated increase in spring seasonal move-ins. We can
expect to continue to see a high number of units coming to market and high turnover of these units over the next two months.
Additionally, the ratio of Non-Doorman units to Doorman units rose slightly from the previous month as the percentage of NonDoorman units increased from 37.7% to 44.1% and the percentage of Doorman units fell from 62.3% to 55.9%.
The largest upswing since the previous month and since April of 2013 was seen in Harlem. Overall rents jumped 7.4% from $2,353
in March to $2,528 in April and rose 13.9% from $2,220 in April of last year to $2,528 this year. All unit types, except Non-Doorman
Studios, increased in price this month. Most notably Doorman One-Bedrooms jumped 14.6% to $2,967, the fourth consecutive month
prices rose for this unit type. This upwards trend is most likely due to an increasing number of new development units with doorman
amenities located upwards of 110th Street. As the NYC real estate market rebounds, Manhattan rent prices will continue to increase
and current tenants will look towards the outer neighborhoods for lower rents.
The largest increase in listing inventory was in Upper East Side where 747 new units came to market, an 86.4% increase in inventory
from last month. These new units were probably listed in preparation for the spring seasonal increase in demand.
