Douglas Durst Tapped as Next REBNY Chair
The Real Estate Board of New York nominated Douglas Durst as the next REBNY chairman. A 51-year member of REBNY, Durst will succeed outgoing chair Bill Rudin.
“Douglas Durst and The Durst Organization have an unparalleled dedication to New York City, and Douglas has an unshakable and immutable faith in this city and its people,” said Rudin. “It is hard to imagine a more appropriate leader to navigate our industry through these extraordinarily challenging times.”
Durst noted that his family’s development firm, The Durst Organization, “has thrived through two World Wars, the Great Depression, the fiscal crises of the 1970s, terrorist attacks, the Great Recession and this is not even our first pandemic—we survived the influenza pandemic of 1918.That history and experience leave me uniquely prepared for the opportunity to bring a long-term perspective and optimism to REBNY because even when New York seems down, it always comes back.”
