## Lightstone Shines as Top Workplace in NYC for Second Year Running
Lightstone, a prominent real estate company with a diverse portfolio across the United States, has once again been recognized for its exceptional workplace culture. For the second consecutive year, Crain’s New York Business has named Lightstone one of the 2024 Best Places to Work in New York City. This significant accomplishment places Lightstone among the top 40 companies in the city, reaffirming its commitment to fostering a positive and supportive environment for its employees.
The rankings are based on a rigorous assessment process, involving employee engagement surveys and employer questionnaires. Over 20,000 surveys were analyzed, delving into aspects such as workplace environment, growth opportunities, leadership, benefits, and various perks. The surveys covered all five boroughs of New York City, ensuring a comprehensive and representative evaluation.
“New York City is home to over 220,000 businesses, and we are incredibly proud to be recognized within the top 1%. At Lightstone, we strongly believe that the heart of any building is the people who bring it to life,” said Mitchell Hochberg, President of Lightstone. “This acknowledgment is a testament to our talented and dedicated family of exceptional professionals, as well as our commitment to cultivating a welcoming and supportive workplace environment.”
This latest workplace recognition adds to Lightstone’s growing list of accolades in 2024. The company was previously honored with the Commercial Observer’s Power 100, the ALIS Development of the Year award for their Moxy/AC Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, and CN Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards for Top Hotels in New York City.
