From the April issue: “Newspapers should have no friends,” publisher Joseph Pulitzer once said. That’s what I’ve learned in my 10 years since founding The Real Deal.
Sure, I’ve formed a lot of great relationships and met a lot of great people, who I want to thank for helping feed The Real Deal’s success. But being a magazine publisher can be a lonely job. [more]

From the April issue: The Real Deal started publishing at the beginning of an epic real estate boom back in 2003, so it’s fitting that as we celebrate our 10th anniversary this month, another boom looks to be on the way.
Back then, right before our first issue came out, publisher Amir Korangy, marketing director Yoav Barilan and I watched the “shock and awe” bombing of Baghdad on CNN at a Park Avenue South bar while discussing the magazine’s direction. (I wrote a freelance story for the first issue. I guess Amir liked it, because I was promoted to editor-in-chief after that.) [more]

From the April issue: The New York City real estate market has been a developing story since The Real Deal launched in 2003. When the magazine first began publishing, New York was still recovering (emotionally and economically) from the 2001 World Trade Center attacks. In fact, the country had gone to war in Iraq less than a month before TRD’s first issue hit the presses.
A lot has happened since then — from an unprecedented economic boom (marked by close-to-free credit and high-flying condos) to the worst economic downturn in 80 years. [more]

This glossy magazine features the most expensive and unique residential property listings the city has to offer, with dedicated coverage on happenings in each Manhattan micro-neighborhood.The magazine is a cheat sheet for everything Manhattan residents need to know about their ’hood, from what their home is worth to where the market is headed to new buildings going up on their street. We also include advice for buyers, sellers and renters on navigating the city’s real estate terrain.
“People’s infatuation with New York City apartments is twofold,” said Amir Korangy, publisher of The Real Deal and Luxury Listings NYC. “On one hand, they are blown away by how many people can live in a 300-square-foot studio with a single window facing the innards of a building, and on the other hand, they are blown away by how an apartment can be worth $50 million or more. While we don’t focus on bargain apartments, we will extensively chronicle the latter and will allow readers to peek into these amazing homes.” [more]
