Alan’s special skills include designing creative occupancy strategies that support his client’s business platform. By understanding his clients’ business goals, objectives and culture he has created real estate transactions that not only enhance their business but also have transformed their company through the use of their real estate.
These professional strengths include strong financial and strategic backgrounds as former practicing CPA and later as a Harvard Business School graduate. In his 29 years as a tenant representative specialist in NYC he has built strong relationships among Manhattan’s premier Landlords. He leverages these relationships with his understanding of the inefficiencies of the real estate market to construct a competitive dynamic.

In addition, we are able to negotiate lease provisions that grant more tenant flexibility than is common in the market place.
