AABANY Fall Harvest Moon Real Estate Networking

AABANY’s Real Estate Committee hosts a Fall Harvest Moon Festival networking evening on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at M&T Bank, 250 Park Avenue. The Mid-Autumn framing is cultural; the room is real-estate counsel, deal lawyers, and allied professionals who already sit in AABANY’s property practice graph. Host materials route registration through AABANY’s announcements page rather than a standalone cart; the listed cutoff was September 24. After that date, email the committee contact on the announcements post rather than assuming a walk-up.

Committee nights like this are how New York’s Asian American real-estate bar compounds between the big Fall Conference and year-end galas. A bank Midtown venue keeps the evening close to the people who already close deals in the corridor. Building security at 250 Park Avenue usually wants ID and a listed name, so arrive with confirmation details ready and leave a few minutes for the lobby desk.

This is right for real-estate, construction, and finance lawyers plus allied brokers who work with that counsel set. Skip it if you need a general AAPI mixer or an investor Demo Day. Bring cards and one live deal or practice question so the two-hour window is not only small talk. Business attire that fits a bank conference room is safer than casual Midtown after-work clothes.

Park Avenue elevators and visitor desks slow after 5:00 when multiple tenant events stack. If you are coming from court or a closing, message the committee contact listed on the announcements page rather than arriving late and expecting soft entry. The Harvest Moon framing is a conversation opener; the useful work is matching counsel with brokers, lenders, and developers already in the AABANY property graph.

Same evening may also list AABANY’s Dumplings & Discussion fireside; pick the room that matches your practice rather than trying to do both. Follow the registration link from aabany.org announcements, confirm building security instructions in the confirmation note, and keep the RSVP on your phone for the Park Avenue desk.
