Celebrity Brokers Collect Awards in Cara Delevingne's Apartment While Jimmy Fallon Watches

The Real Estate Board of New York's annual Power Broker Awards relocated to a supermodel's Manhattan apartment, where the industry handed itself trophies and the host's most famous neighbor provided ambient celebrity.

The Real Estate Board of New York held its 2024 Power Broker Awards at Cara Delevingne's Manhattan apartment.
Jimmy Fallon lives in the same building and his proximity was noted by attendees.
Guests described the event as sweaty and crowded, consistent with a residential venue pressed into banquet service.
The awards are informally known as the Oscars of New York real estate.
No square footage, listing price, or staging credit for the venue was publicly disclosed.

The Real Estate Board of New York held its annual Power Broker Awards — the self-styled “Oscars of real estate” — at Cara Delevingne's Manhattan apartment this year, a choice of venue that managed to be both aspirational and, by multiple accounts, aggressively warm.

Attendees described the proceedings as sweaty. That detail did not appear in any official event communications.

The awards, presented to top-producing brokers across New York City's residential and commercial sectors, typically occupy a conventional event space. This edition opted for a working apartment instead, which is either a statement about the current inventory environment or simply the result of knowing the right people.

Jimmy Fallon lives in the building. His presence — or at least the fact of it — hung over the evening in the way that a famous neighbor's presence tends to: mentioned, unconfirmed, useful for conversation during the walk to the elevator.

Delevingne, who purchased the apartment in 2021, was not reported to have collected any brokerage award herself. The number of deals she closed in the calendar year was not disclosed.
