Executive Summary

As we head into summer, there are plenty of spring successes pointing to Citi Habitats' continued growth as a leader in Manhattan residential real estate. One of the most notable is in regards to volume; we're ahead of where we were this time last year. That's especially true of sales transactions, which continue to soar. Our numbers are proof that Citi Habitats and our hybrid philosophy are in full bloom.

In addition to our business successes, NRT and The Corcoran Group are fully committed to supporting our development and growth as a company. In the short time since NRT acquired Citi Habitats last year, it has already made concrete contributions to our company. Examples of its support include the impressive expansion and renovation of the 222 West 72nd Street and 1456 First Avenue (the former 400 East 76th Street) offices and the planned renovation of 346 West 57th Street. Additionally, the fifth floor of our Corporate Headquarters is being transformed into a state-of-the-art facility for our joint training with The Corcoran Group. The modern facility will also serve as office space for Citi Habitats agents and staff.

With the support of our partnerships, our loyal agents and staff, and our firm foundation in the marketplace as a premiere brokerage with the right combination of resources and neighborhood presence, we are primed for another outstanding summer rental and sales season.
