Best RE IB Shops in NYC?

Hi guys,Just wondering if anyone knows what the best groups are for real estate investment banking in New York? Citi? MS? BAML? How is Evercore? Eastdil?I'm targetting REIB specifically because I'd like to gain exposure to corporate and property-level deals, not exclusively property-level (JLL).Thanks!

  1. BAML REIB group is the best group to be in if you’re 100% sure you want to lateral to RE PE. Places better than other banks surprisingly (only RE though)
  1. MS/GS REIB are close 2nd. They also have a private equity group within the banks which is their PE arm. GS is GSAM and MS is MSREI. They are very well respected and definitely good looks if you’re interested in real estate. Hard to get in too since I think they take 5 interns per year.
