REAL ESTATE’S RISING STARS BY ELIZABETH QUINN BROWN
ALEXANDER DAIGH Real Estate Salesperson, Douglas Elliman Real Estate / 212.350.2256 / alexander.daigh@elliman.com
Q: Why a career in realty? And why in New York? A: My father has been a real estate broker on Long Island for 30-plus years, so I grew up around the business and it had always interested me. The New York City real estate market is the most efficient and stable market in the country. Q: What do you consider to be the "hot" neighborhoods? A: The Upper East Side and Upper West Side are always hot because of the high concentration of people and also the amount of inventory. The West Village is hot and will continue to be because of conversions and new

developments. Further into the future, I think the far West 30s and 40s will be a very hot. That popularity will be based on all of the development and Hudson Yards. Q: What do you consider to be the "hot" properties? A: Development is hot. Buildings like 432 Park, 150 Charles, 10 Madison Square West, 36 Bleecker, Greenwich Lane, and 215 Sullivan are all great new developments that will be completed in the next two to five years. Also, there are up-and-coming areas of Brooklyn, in addition to ones like Williamsburg, that will become important. X
