From Bleachers to Brokerage


While at a charity event earlier this month, New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck told The Commercial Observer that he shared a tight relationship with RXR Realtys Scott Rechler. The relationship is so tight, in fact, the two have been discussing possible joint real estate ventures together. I love Scott, added Mr. Tuck. As it turns out, Mr. Tuck isnt an outlier. Indeed, former U.S. Olympians, baseball players, 2. gridiron greats and soccer players fill out the ranks of developers and brokers in the competitive field of New York City (and American) real estate. Below, a small sampling of the sportsmen who have known the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, both on the pitch and on the negotiating table.
