Episode Details

In this special edition of the Promote Podcast, we dive into the singular career of Gary Barnett, the diamond trader who birthed Manhattan's Billionaires' Row and has consistently pulled off the most audacious high-wire acts in the real estate development game. We trace Barnett's origins, from his days as a diamond dealer in Belgium to his early days in New York real estate. We then dive into 2 of his most iconic deals: the creation of One57, the luxury condo that kicked off Billionaires Row; and the Ring portfolio masterclass, the takeover of 1 million square feet of prime Manhattan office space.
