Do You Ever Wonder Speaks With Shimon Shkury...
Shimon Shkury...Founder and CEO of Ariel Property Advisors, NYC Commercial Real Estate Thought Leader, Massey Knakal Alum and Prominent Massey Knakal Leadership Tree Member, Born in Israel and a Former Lieutenant in The IDF!
Incredibly impressive credentials to be sure, and then add to that list a Wharton MBA and MA in International Studies.
Do You Ever Wonder host and Hallmark Abstract Service CEO Mike Haltman had a broad and far-reaching conversation with Shimon, touching on a wide variety of topics including, in addition to commercial real estate, the current horrific situation in Israel (which like most Israelis he has been tragically touched by)!
Your host first met Shimon during the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) when Mike was working as a consultant for a lender trying to dispose of a property in the South Bronx. It was a shell of a multifamily construction project with flooding and squatters, and given all of the issues Shimon and his Team at Massey Knakal provided a thoughtful and thorough opinion of value.
The Conversation With Shimon Shkury Covered Many Topics Including...
- How his foray into CRE began,
- The experience working with Massey Knakal leaders Bob Knakal and Paul Massey,
- The decision to strike out on his own (with a couple of partners) and start Ariel Property Advisors,
- The value of his time in the Israeli military when it came to leadership and strategic planning at Ariel,
- The value brought to clients through the quality of the research that the firm does,
- The path to becoming a thought leader in NYC commercial real estate,
- How the Ariel program Coffee & Cap Rates provides incredible and timely information to the event attendees,
- A discussion of the commercial real estate market moving forward including the coming maturity wall, the need for affordable housing, office to residential, whether NYS and NYS government will be a help or hindrance, sector differentiation, and much more.
For questions or consultation about any real estate-related issues, Shimon can be reached at sshkury@arielpa.com.
