Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group held its annual awards celebration last week, recognizing more than $1 billion in closed new development sales in 2011.
Company President Kelly Kennedy Mack announced that the race for the coveted Sales Team of the Year award was the narrowest on record, with The Aldyn and The Rushmore ending December in a near tie.
The neighboring properties are situated on Manhattan’s Riverside Boulevard, which has seen a 10% increase in new development price-per-square-foot over the past year.
“This is the first time in company history that two teams have been so close. With a combined sales volume of $305 million, the success of Riverside Boulevard is extraordinary,” said Mack.
“But there can be only one winner, and in the end The Rushmore outsold The Aldyn by just $15 million.”
Measured by deal volume, this is the third year in a row that The Rushmore has earned this award. The Rushmore is now 90% sold.
A complete list of the 2011 award winners:
- Sales Team of the Year was presented to The Rushmore, which was the top-selling building within the Corcoran Sunshine portfolio with $160 million in signed contracts in 2011. The award was presented to Managing Director Melissa Ziweslin and sales team members Lynne Brown, Katie Sachsenmaier, and Lena Nusimow.
- Deal of the Year was presented to The Apthorp Sales Team, comprised of Justin D’Adamo and Judy Kekesi. The award recognized the sale of a combination residence in the Upper West Side landmark closing this week for $9 million and approximately $2200 per square foot.
