39 Millennium - Twenty-third Edition ARCHITECTURE, CONSTRUCTION, DESIGN AND REAL ESTATE BROKER, OWNER Century 21 Awaye Realty Brooklyn, NY ARLENE WAYE For more than 35 years, Arlene Waye has been a driving force behind some of Downtown Brooklyn’s most significant real estate transactions. As broker and owner of Century 21 Awaye Realty, she specializes in Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill – two of Brooklyn’s most architecturally preserved and historically resilient neighborhoods. In 2026, Ms. Waye sees a market defined not by hype, but by strategy. Luxury brownstones between $3 million and $6 million continue to perform when positioned and priced correctly. But her expertise extends far beyond resale. A seasoned developer, she evaluates properties through zoning, FAR potential, expansion rights and longterm appreciation. Increasingly, she advises families navigating estate transitions, trust-held assets and generational wealth planning. Legacy is not just a concept – it is personal. Ms. Waye works alongside her two daughters, building a multi-generational family enterprise rooted in integrity, strategy, and stewardship. “Real estate here isn’t just housing,” she says. “It’s legacy. These properties represent decades, sometimes generations, of wealth.” By combining development insight, fiduciary sensitivity and family-driven leadership, Ms. Waye stands as a strategic steward of Brooklyn’s most valuable assets.
