NEW YORK, NY, May 11, 2023 – Keen-Summit Capital Partners LLC, a leading real estate brokerage and workout firm and investment banking firm specializing in special situations (i.e., restructurings, bankruptcies, receiverships, etc.), proudly announced today that Heather Milazzo, Managing Director, is the recipient of the prestigious GlobeSt. 2023 Women of Influence Award in the Corporate Real Estate category. This award honors female commercial real estate professionals who have made remarkable achievements and personally impacted the industry, driving it to new heights through their outstanding successes.
Heather’s leadership has been pivotal in driving Keen-Summit’s growth and success, with her strategic insights and innovative approach leading the company to achieve exceptional results. Keen-Summit has successfully completed numerous large-scale deals and her exceptional skills and expertise have been instrumental in the company’s success. Most recently, Heather played a key role in Keen-Summit’s recent sale of the WC Braker Portfolio, where she successfully oversaw the marketing of 540,000+ s.f. of office/retail real estate in Austin, TX that sold at auction for over $102M, 36% above the stalking horse bid, in a record 63 days.
“It gives us immense pleasure to recognize Heather’s extraordinary achievements in the real estate industry. Her unique perspective and out-of-the-box thinking have been invaluable in driving innovation and growth,” said Harold Bordwin, Principal & Co-President, Keen-Summit. “Heather’s exceptional leadership, boundless creativity, and unwavering commitment to excellence set her apart. She truly deserves this prestigious award and recognition and serves as an inspiration to us all.”

Heather’s contributions have been immeasurable, and we are fortunate to have her as an integral part of our team.”
Heather’s many accomplishments this year include numerous industry awards and acknowledgements. She recently received the CoStar Powerbroker award and was featured in the New York Real Estate Journal’s 2022 Women in Professional Services issue for her outstanding contributions in real estate marketing.
