Young brokerage Blackstone Properties was responsible for about 50 percent of the brokered rental deals in FiDi and BPC at is peak. It was also responsible for filling Craigslist with multiple stock photo-decorated ads for the same apartments. Blackstone insisted all brokers did the same. But now Blackstone has closed all its offices, cut back its stable of agents, and isn't doing quite so many rentals. You do hate to see that. [Real Deal; previously]
