The Real Deal is a media company with a focus on New York City, South Florida and Los Angeles. The news outlet was started in 2003 by Amir Korangy, and focuses on both commercial and residential real estate. The online and print publication was self-proclaimed "the must-read news source for real estate news," in a profile in the Los Angeles Times in 2009,[1] and "the hot sheet for NYC real estate professionals," by the New York Post.
Amir Korangy of Korangy Publishing founded The Real Deal in April 2003.[1] The magazine was his third venture into publishing, the first being the Gringo Gazette, a weekly newspaper in Baja, Mexico targeted at expatriates,[1] and the second being the Washington Free Press, a weekly tabloid in Washington, D.C. Korangy was named one of the 100 most powerful figures in New York City real estate by the New York Observer in 2009.[2] The magazine's editor-in-chief since its first year is Stuart W. Elliott, who previously worked for The New York Times.
The Real Deal launched a South Florida website in February 2008, and Los Angleses website in 2016.[citation needed]
In 2012, The Real Deal made its first foray into filmmaking, with the documentary "Building Stories", as part of the PBS series "Treasures of New York." The film focuses on the prolific architect Costas Kondylis, who has helped shape the New York skyline with 86 towers, but is relatively unknown to the general public. Examining Kondylis’ work, which has received mixed reviews, the film looks at the balance between art and commerce in getting a building built in the city, and how the city gets shaped. In 2015, The Real Deal published its first book, “The Closing: Interviews with New York City’s Titans of Real Estate.”
