Where commercial real estate’s boldest voices meet
The Real Estate Gala is an exclusive gala hosted by Don Tepman, President and Founder of TownCentre Capital, better known as the Strip Mall Guy and co-hosted by Bob Knakal. What started as a vibrant Twitter/X community has grown into one of the most talked-about gatherings in commercial real estate.
Each year, hundreds of the industry’s top dealmakers, developers, and rising stars come together at a prestigious venue in New York City for a black-tie, invite-only experience. With a red carpet entrance and a curated guest list, the evening celebrated connections, capital, and the next generation of real estate leadership.

Real talk on the red carpet
No Cap (by CRE Daily) co-hosts Jack Stone and Alex Gornik interviewed guests live from the gala, capturing candid insights on the state of commercial real estate from the industry’s most influential voices.
