The Metropolitan Museum of Art honored preeminent New York attorney Sandy Lindenbaum of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP at its Real Estate Council Benefit Nov. 14 at the museum. The Real Estate Council and Real Estate Council Benefit support the Museum's education programs, raising much needed funds for more than 20,000 education programs conducted each year at the Metropolitan.

Lindenbaum has been instrumental in shaping many of the landmarks that identify and frame the city's skyline. His commercial and residential development clients include Bear Stearns, Tishman Speyer Properties, Vornado Realty Trust, Glenwood Management, and the Resnick, Silverstein and Solow Organizations. Projects include the Museum of Modern Art, Pierpont Morgan Library and Heatst building expansions; Carnegie Hall, the Guggenheim Museum, Yeshiva University, Rockefeller Center, the Chrysler Building, Radio City Music Hall, and the new Penn Center Special Signage District.

Among many high-profile accomplishments, Lindenbaum negotiated the transfer of air rights from Grand Central Terminal to new Bear Stearns headquarters on Madison Avenue. He is a member of the executive committee and vice president of the Real Estate Board of New York and a director of the Association for a Better New York.

Daniel Brodsky, Steven Roth and William C. Rudin were chairs of the Real Estate Council Benefit Committee; Douglas Durst, Bruce C. Ratner, Burton P. Resnick and Sheldon H. Solow were co-chairs.
