David Winoker, the real estate executive who died Friday in a skydiving accident in Ulster County, N.Y., grew his leasing agency business rapidly over the past year, picking up at least three new buildings. Winoker, 49, the president of the Midtown-based commercial real estate firm Winoker Realty, was awarded the leasing agency at the firm’s biggest building, the 382,269-square-foot 1450 Broadway, in June 2011. The husband and father of three also won the assignment for at least two other properties over the year, for a total of more than 500,000 square feet, a review of data from CoStar Group shows.

David Winoker, the president of the Manhattan-based commercial brokerage firm Winoker Realty, was remembered yesterday as a loving husband and father at a Westchester County memorial service  — held two days after Winoker was killed in a skydiving accident in Ulster County, N.Y. The 49-year-old real estate executive was part of a group that went skydiving for a friend’s 50th birthday party. He and his Skydive the Ranch instructor, 25-year-old Alexander Chulsky, fell to the ground from the plane near a farm after their shared parachute appeared to have malfunctioned. But Newsday reported that there might have been a medical condition involved.
