The Real Deal New York

The Post’s Lois Weiss has named the winners of the annual Golden Bricks real estate awards. Weiss named Boston Properties’ purchase of the GM Building for $2.8 billion the largest sale of the year, and also the worst bet of the year. The “Hide-and-Seek” award went to Elad Properties for both the Plaza residences and Grand Mansion, where buyers sued after they saw the units and weren’t happy with the interiors. The “Smiling Energizer Bunny” award went to developer Larry Silverstein for having an “upbeat attitude and continuing his redevelopment of the World Trade Center no matter what happens to the market or his lawsuits.”
