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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
