Mrs. Streicker Porres has been responsible for the asset repositioning of over 75 properties throughout New York City.

Currently, she has over $500M in assets under direct management.

Prior to founding Newcastle, she held positions in a variety of closely related fields including, Tishman Speyer Properties, Citi Habitats, Deloitte & Touche and various architectural firms.
