Around 200 real estate professionals gathered at TD Bank’s Conference Center at One Vanderbilt for Ariel Property Advisors’ Coffee & Cap Rates event, ‘Separating Signal from Noise: NYC Investment Sales in 1H 2026’ on July 30, 2026.
Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, kicked off the morning with an overview of trends in the first six months of the year. His presentation included key findings from the firm’s recently completed Mid-Year 2026 investment sales reports.
Mr. Shkury then moderated a panel discussion with leading experts, including Ralph Bumbaca, Regional President, Metro NY - TD Bank; Robert S. Nelson, President, Nelson Management Group LTD.; and Bryan Kelly, Principal & President of Development, Gotham Organization. The panelists discussed current conditions, challenges, and opportunities in New York City’s commercial real estate market.
