Welcome to our summer double issue, which kicks off the season with a touch of California, New York style. Or is it New York, California style?

Mary Maydan’s story is a compelling one — an Israel-born journalist who came to New York and interviewed some of the most interesting people of the early aughts, who found a new career and calling in architecture upon her move to California.

Now, she has returned (at least in part) to bring her distinctive modern style to apartments here. It’s a piece about reinvention, both of careers and design.

Also look at the latest gathering of the National Realty Club, which featured Pam Swidler discussing how WeWork is continuing to adapt its concept to changing times. It’s always joyous to gather real estate greats at these events and introduce veteran and new professionals to learn with and from each other. And maybe get a few deals done.

But NRC is more than that — we’ve formed a foundation to support great causes that help New York and New Yorkers. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the date of the National Realty Club Foundation’s Annual Golf Outing — October 2, 2023 at the Fresh Meadow Country Club. The event will honor Michael Kerr and Zach Kerr, chairman and president, respectively, of M&R Management Co. Inc. A day of golf will be followed by cocktails and dinner — so you non-golfers can enjoy, too!

My dear friends Jonathan Stern and Robert Romanoff are serving as co-chairs, and with the help of a top-notch Golf Committee, we know a fine time will be had by golfers and non-golfers alike. Contact me or Penny Herrera at penny@ nationalrealtyclub.org for more information and sponsorship opportunities.

Meanwhile, summer is here, so take a little break. We’ll see you in August.

Meridian’s national dominance in multifamily financing gives us a unique vantage point from which to approach markets on our clients’ behalf. By leveraging our 30+ year relationships and depth of experience, we are able to see what others can’t and produce exceptional outcomes — especially in turbulent markets. Remain informed and be agile with Meridian.
