On the October 2nd, Norman and Steven Jacobson painted an exciting outlook on the updated HelmsleySpear organization that is now under the new direction of Kent Swig.

Norman, who has more than 40 years of real estate experience on both the owner and brokerage sides of the business, described how his experiences fit well into the new direction of HelmsleySpear.

"For over 140 years, Helmsley has made historical deals that have transformed the City of New York. I have been fortunate to have been involved in many creative deals myself and I came to Helmsley to help further the great tradition of the Firm." Jacobson mentioned how the new look Helmsley has been hiring professionals of all backgrounds to help it serve its diverse range of clients. Norman joined the firm with his son, Steven, who brings to Helmsley his real estate consulting experience from Ernst & Young LLP, as well as his experience as in-house legal counsel from a highly-respected,
privately-held real estate concern. Both gentlemen commented that Helmsley
is in good hands under the leadership of Kent Swig, who has invested in building a new and bright future for the Company.

Why should a landlord or tenant hire HelmsleySpear as its advisor?

HS has always been a pioneer in the development of cutting edge ideas within the real estate industry. Many industry leaders began their careers at HelmsleySpear - in fact the Real Estate Board of NY has named one of its highest awards for creativity after Harry Helmsley. We have continued this tradition by attracting and nurturing the best and brightest talent and through the development of a vertically integrated platform which enables HelmsleySpear to provide a variety of services, including tenant and landlord brokerage representation; property management; asset management; investment sales; construction management; project development /value engineering; and marketing. Our deep and diversified talent pool enables us to look at transactions differently than most other real estate advisors. We provide “out of the box” thinking which enables our customers to maximize the value of their assets and/or to identify the most cost effective location from which to run their business.
Todd Korren, Senior Vice President
