Next Generation Honoree: Ben Shapiro Consistently Ranks with NKF’s Top Producers

Ben Shapiro, executive managing director in NKF’s New York headquarters, demonstrates a depth of experience in landlord and tenant representation throughout Manhattan, with a focus on the representation of large corporate tenants and institutional owners. Recent notable assignments include representing GFP Real Estate in NYC Health + Hospitals’ 526,000-square-foot relocation to 7 Hanover/50 Water St., Manhattan’s largest leasing deal year to date.

He has been named among NKF’s top producers every year since he joined the firm in 2013. Additionally, he was named to the Chairman’s Circle, which recognizes the firm’s top 100 sales professionals, for the past three years. Externally, he was awarded the Real Estate Board of New York’s ‘Most Ingenious Retail Deal of the Year’ in 2018 for Peloton’s 35,000-square-foot flagship lease at 5 Manhattan West.

These are just a few of the reasons we chose Shapiro to be one of the New York 2019 Next Generation Award winners. Connect Media’s third annual Next Generation Awards recognize young leaders in the commercial real estate industry who are likely to be influential for years to come.

An active supporter of the community as well as his industry, Mr. Shapiro is the founder of The Billy Mac Fund, a scholarship fund for at-need college students in the New York tri-state area. The organization has held a fund-raising golf classic since its founding in 2013.
