To some young real estate professionals the large, youth-oriented
networking groups in Manhattan are attracting just too many people. Justin Stewart, a former vice president of Alpine Commercial Capital,
an affiliate of Madison Realty Capital, said at gatherings of large
real estate groups, he has found it difficult to find people in
particular niches. So Stewart started asking around and interviewing dozens of young real
estate professionals to see who would be interested in joining a new,
much smaller but professionally diverse group. His newly formed organization, tentatively dubbed Young Real Estate
Opportunist Group, is made up of about 20 real estate brokers, finance
experts and development specialists, and had its first meeting in March. More
