Real estate tycoon keeps wheeling and dealing.

For the past few years, New York real estate magnate Gary Barnett has been charting a course to erect another building near his International Gem Tower in the Diamond District. That plan moved one step closer to fruition after his recent negotiation with two other real estate companies to take control of two properties at the northwest corner of Fifth Avenue and 46th Street, according to The Real Deal News. These deals pave the way for him to build another tower, the report adds, as they mark the latest moves in a string of transactions that have given him additional development rights in the area.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
