New York’s top real estate agents celebrated their towering achievements over the last year in a penthouse overlooking Gramercy Park, as part of The Hollywood Reporter’s annual New York Power Broker Awards.
Presented on Wednesday by real estate PR firm The Society Group and sponsored by interior styling firm ASH Staging, the 2026 event brought together over 40 top sellers and teams from Corcoran Group, CORE, Sotheby’s International Reality, Compass, Douglas Elliman, Brown Harris Stevens, Serhant, R New York, Hedgerow, Nest Seekers, and the Gambino Group at Compass.
Nominated and selected by THR based on their sales volume, media presence and deal portfolio, brokers were honored across eight categories, including Best Team, Best Hampton Sale of the Year and Rising Star awards inside a historic multilevel residence in 34 Gramercy Park East. The nearly 5,000-square-foot three-level penthouse — which is currently owned by Cara Delevingne and also counts Jimmy Fallon as a former occupant — comes with its own key to Gramercy Park and is currently listed by Carl Gambino of the Gambino Group and Stefani Berkin of R New York for $9.45 million.
“Hosting this event is always so fun because you always want to surprise them, to show them something new. I love to keep people guessing,” The Society Group founder Alexander Ali said of selecting this year’s awards location. “So when I saw this residence, I knew. It’s so unique, so different, and if you want to know what’s selling in New York, this is it.”
