Ariel Property Advisors Hosts 2017 Internship Program For UES’ Chapin School


NEW YORK, NY – June 19, 2017 – Ariel Property Advisors hosted an internship summer kickoff program to four graduating seniors from the Chapin School, an all-girls independent day school located in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The students participated in an intensive four-day commercial real estate course from June 5-8, just a few weeks before June graduation.



The program – led by Aryeh Orlofsky, Michael A. Tortorici and representatives from Ariel Property Advisors’ Investment Sales, Capital Services and Research Division – is designed to provide young women the opportunity to learn about New York City commercial real estate trends, practices and career paths from industry professionals.


“It was remarkable to see these young women capture so much information about the industry within such a compressed period of time,” said Aryeh Orlofsky, Senior Vice President at Ariel Property Advisors. “This was a testament to their maturity and it was truly inspirational to witness.”


The students were introduced to a wide range of topics, including professionalism in the workplace, general conditions in the New York City housing market, rent stabilization law, and real estate pricing metrics. Concepts were illustrated through workshops at Ariel’s office and through a walking-tour of The Bronx and Northern Manhattan, where they were told about recent commercial property transactions and unique factors that affected them.


The program’s highlight included a panel discussion featuring female industry leaders, where students gained specific insight from the experts and participated in an open dialogue discussion. Lisa W. Speltz of Angelo, Gordon & Co., Pamela Samuels of Corridor Holdings Corp., and Bonnie Habyan of Arbor Commercial Mortgage engaged the students with a lively Q & A session.


“By exposing these interns to opportunities and successful women in real estate, we hope to inspire a new generation to pursue careers in the industry, where women today are very underrepresented,” said Michael A. Tortorici, Executive Vice President at the company.


The soon-to-be graduates concluded the program with a mock-presentation of an investment opportunity to the company’s partners, where they demonstrated their understanding of all of the concepts learned during the week.
