Why it works this way
The data that decides a deal here is not published.
Asking rents are a negotiating position. What a floor actually traded at, with what free rent and what allowance, sits with whoever ran the last few deals on the block. In this market that is usually somebody on this desk.
That is the only real reason to hire a regional firm over a national one here, and it is the reason the footprint has stayed deliberately small.
The two sides stay separate
Corporate occupiers and owner-developers are distinct practice groups. A broker who works both sides of the same building is not representing either of them properly, so this desk does not do it.
The team sits in the market it sells
Members sit on the board of Fordham University's Real Estate Institute and on the Larchmont Planning Board. That is the sort of detail that only matters when a deal needs somebody who knows how the town works.
Where we work
The footprint stops where the knowledge does.
The footprint is regional on purpose. A comparable is only useful if somebody on the team has transacted on the street in question, and that stops being true the moment a firm tries to cover everywhere.

Bring the lease, the rent roll, or the site.
The first conversation is about what the market will actually do, not about signing an agency agreement. It costs nothing and it is usually the cheapest hour in the transaction.
