Cushman exec Vincent Peters dead at 88

Vincent Peters, a vice chairman with Cushman & Wakefield, passed away Sunday, according to an obituary announcement from the Real Estate Board of New York. Peters, who died after a “short illness,” according to New York Post columnist Lois Weiss on Twitter, was 88. Peters, a REBNY member for 64 years, won the organization’s “Most Ingenious Deal of the Year Award” twice — in 1974 and 1985 while at Cushman. He was also influential in the real estate world beyond New York City, helping broker the development of Chicago’s famed Sears Tower. Cushman handed out an inaugural award in his name this past February. TRD
