-- NAIOP New York City Metro Chapter is proud to congratulate chapter member and Developing Leaders chair Genessy Jaramillo on being selected as a recipient of the 2026 NAIOP and Prologis Inclusion in CRE Scholarship for Young Professionals - one of just fifteen emerging commercial real estate professionals chosen from across the association this year.

Now in its ninth year, the Inclusion in CRE Scholarship program aims to build a pipeline of talented young professionals for development and operations roles in commercial real estate by connecting rising leaders with seasoned mentors and expanding their industry expertise.
As a scholarship recipient, Genessy will have the opportunity to pursue the NAIOP Certificate of Advanced Study in Commercial Real Estate Development, participate in high-impact educational programming, and deepen professional relationships through industry events and mentorship.
Genessy currently serves as Managing Director at BKREA, where she focuses on development site and air rights sales in Manhattan, working closely with the firm’s Chairman & CEO. Prior to this role, she built a strong foundation in retail investment sales and leasing with CrossMarc Services, representing clients throughout the Southeast, and began her career at Marcus & Millichap in Nashville, gaining experience across office and industrial asset classes.
Fluent in both English and Spanish, Genessy holds active real estate licenses in Florida, Tennessee, and New York, and earned a Business Management degree from the University of Central Florida.
Genessy’s leadership extends beyond her day-to-day work; she has been recognized for her contributions to commercial real estate discourse, including serving as Chair of NAIOP NYC Metro’s Developing Leaders Committee and being honored as a Next Generation Award recipient for her impact on development site sales and air rights transactions in Manhattan.
The NAIOP New York City Metro Chapter applauds Genessy Jaramillo on this well-deserved achievement and looks forward to her continued contributions to the CRE community.
