Last year, Jeffrey D. Roseman and a group of other New Spectrum brokers swept both top prizes for their deals with Harlem USA. This year, Roseman and Stu Morden have scored the Most Creative Deal of the Year prize by bringing the organic Whole Foods Market to its first New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States.

Unit owners have undivided ownership interest in the land and those portions of the building shared in common. . Under New Spectrum's guidance, Whole Foods took a 40,000 square foot store on one level, plus cut a separate parking deal at the former Veteran's Administration Building in Chelsea. The brokers identified the structure as a possible site for the Texas-based retailer when it was initially being sold by the government. They worried the winner would come in with its own partner retailer, but Rockrose didn't. The New Spectrum brokers then worked to convince the reluctant retailer and wary ownership they were right for each other. Marc Katz of H&R Retail acted as a consultant to Whole Foods. Coincidently, Patricia Dunphy, the vice president of Rockrose who represented ownership, is an ardent Whole Foods foodie. But while Rockrose's leaders, the Elgahnayan brothers, wanted a food use for the new residents, they weren't sure about the upscale organic retailer or its concept until they were brought to one of its new stores.
