Kent Swing hosted by Greek Americans

Hudson Land Company, LLC co-hosted recently the annual Real Estate Committee of The Hellenic-American Chamber of Commerce. The event, an astounding success, drew over 200 real estate professionals to the Harvard Club of New York City to hear Mr. Kent M. Swig, President of Swig Equities, discuss the current New York real estate market conditions.

Swig Equities, LLC is a real estate development, investment, and management firm based in New York City with offices in San Francisco. The firm is an active purchaser and developer of major residential and commercial buildings as well as operating companies and securities. Swig Equities has a proven track record in the development of more than $3 billion of residential, commercial and hotel properties throughout the United States.

The Hellenic-American Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1947 for the purpose of promoting and strengthening the economic and cultural ties between the United States of America and Greece. Since that time, the organization has grown and its scope has broadened. It provides a network and forum for its members to meet, interact and exchange ideas.

Beyond its traditional commercial role, the Chamber funded the "George E. Athans Scholarship Fund" (administered by the Office of Financial Aid at New York University). Annually, the Chamber organizes industry events in shipping, real estate, and wine and food imports. The Chamber also hosts lecture series commemorating important Hellenic historical events, including Greek Independence Day and OXI Day. Each October, the Chamber honors an important member of the business, arts or political community with its Person of the Year Award at a Dinner Dance that has been held annually since 1949. It has also co-sponsored investment seminars and hosted visiting political leaders.

The Chamber today is a multifaceted organization that offers different things to different people. It is a vehicle from which to gain an additional perspective on a variety of topics and fields.
