by Patricia Willens
NEW YORK, NY September 27, 2008 —While there's talk of turbulence and anxiety in the financial markets, some business leaders are taking the long view.
REPORTER: Barry Gosin is the CEO of Newmark Knight Frank, the global real estate leasing company. He says he's optimistic about what's coming next.
GOSIN: There's always opportunities, there's always a silver lining, there's always a certain amount of creative destruction which means the proliferation of new businesses, new innovation, new ideas.
REPORTER: Newmark leases about 35 million square feet in the tri-state region. Gosin says many of the pending deals are on hold while clients wait for Washington lawmakers to reach a deal.
