Power 100 List: #29 Douglas Durst & Jonathan “Jody” Durst — The Durst Organization Last year’s rank: 31 Douglas Durst and Jonathan “Jody” Durst, chairman and president of The Durst Organization, are capitalizing on renewed demand across both office and residential portfolios. The firm leased more than 1M SF of office space in 2025 — its second-strongest year in a decade — highlighted by Bank of America’s 2.4M SF commitment at One Bryant Park and near-full occupancy across its Midtown portfolio. At the same time, Durst is advancing major residential projects in Queens while pushing new leasing opportunities, including a full-building HQ play in Midtown. 🔗 Full profile: https://lnkd.in/eCVP2aYk #CommercialRealEstate #RealEstate #Power100 #CommercialObserver

Today is Global Meetings Industry Day — and this year it falls right in the heart of National Travel and Tourism Week. A fitting combination. Business events are a cornerstone of New York City’s economic vitality. They bring decision-makers, innovators and industries to our city, and the impact flows to every corner of it — hotels, venues, restaurants, transportation providers and the thousands of professionals who make each event possible. NYC isn’t just a backdrop for the world's most important events. It’s the stage that elevates them. Tonight’s skyline will be lit in blue to celebrate #GMID. Participating buildings include: SUMMIT One Vanderbilt (📷: Courtesy, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt) #OneWorldTradeCenter (📷: The Durst Organization) #OneBryantPark and #OneFiveOne (📷: The Durst Organization) #SvenLIC (📷: The Durst Organization) Javits Center (📷: Courtesy, Javits Center) Empire Outlets NYC (📷: JLL) #Pier17 at #TheSeaport (📷: Courtesy, Seaport Entertainment Group) To our incredible meetings and conventions partners: thank you. Today and every day. #GMID2026 #NTTW2026 #MeetingsIndustry #BusinessEvents #WhatsGoodNYC
