Need more proof that hybrid work employers are taking Midtown office space?
Empire BlueCross BlueShield – New York’s largest health insurer – recently opened a new headquarters in Midtown after leasing 70,000 square feet at Vornado Realty Trust’s PENN 1, located alongside the iconic Madison Square Garden and Penn Station.
Empire BlueCross BlueShield President and CEO Alan Murray noted that PENN 1 will help meet the needs of the insurance firm’s employees by providing flexible and collaborative workspace. Vornado has transformed PENN 1 with a new suite of amenities known as WorkLife which include a 35,000 square foot fitness and wellness center, a 20,000 square foot conferencing facility and multiple tenant lounges.
“We are building a very amazing space,” Murray told Crain’s New York Business. “We came from a fairly traditional office environment and are now moving into a hybrid office environment. The idea is to be collaborative and culturally more inviting.”

How can zoning changes promote environmental sustainability?
That was part of what Mayor Eric Adams discussed this week in remarks at the Association for a Better New York (ABNY), as he laid out plans for updating NYC zoning rules to help building owners continue shifting to clean energy and reducing carbon emissions, alongside other zoning announcements on housing and economic development.
The mayor’s “Zoning for Zero Carbon” text amendment will:
• Remove obstacles to deploying new clean energy storage and uses, including electric vehicle charging
• Facilitate building retrofits for sustainability, including allowing more rooftop coverage for solar panels
• Eliminate barriers to the electrification of building systems such as heat pumps or efficient HVAC systems
REBNY President James Whelan said: “The mayor has put forward a proactive framework for achieving several objectives needed for a strong economic recovery, including fostering vibrant commercial corridors, encouraging sustainability, and creating more housing. We look forward to working with City Planning and other stakeholders to see this framework come to fruition.”

We have been proud to celebrate by elevating the voices of REBNY members to reflect on the contributions of the AAPI community, the progress made toward a more inclusive future and the work that still must be done to get there.
As we close out the month, JoAnne Kao leaves us with some final thoughts:
“I think about the people who’ve come before me. The people who gave it all up, people who left their families and their homelands with dreams of making it one day. Was it worth it? Yes, I think it was – and it’s up to us to keep the dream going.”
We also encourage you to consider attending a Fordham University panel discussion this Thursday, titled “Making it in America: AAPI Stories of Courage and Resilience,” which will feature JoAnne alongside several other guest speakers.

REBNY President James Whelan was recognized this week on Commercial Observer’s Power 100 list of leaders at the forefront of New York City real estate. But as always, the bigger picture is not just about our team at REBNY – it’s also about our incredible REBNY members who are moving the city’s economy forward every day. That’s why we’re also pleased to note that 75 individuals on the list are REBNY members. This serves as yet another reminder of how our members are continuing to set the standard for excellence, innovation and leadership throughout all corners of the real estate industry. Congrats to all those featured on this year’s list!
When Helen Hwang of Meridian Capital Group first immigrated to America with her family as a teenager, she recalled that their first inclination was “to assimilate, to blend in.”
Now, as she says, it’s very different.
Today, Helen isn’t just at the forefront of commercial real estate – she’s celebrating her culture and heritage and playing a role in promoting diverse representation across the industry.
That’s what means to Helen and so many other REBNY members who are speaking out to highlight the contributions of the AAPI community in real estate and throughout our society.

Michael Rhee of The Durst Organization reflects on and reminds us of the importance of diverse representation throughout the real estate industry:
“You need a box full of different colored crayons to draw a beautiful and vibrant picture. In the context of real estate, you need different tools in the toolbox to fix broken machinery or build a building. You can’t just bring hammers to the development site and hope to get the job done.”
