About Us

We work for you. As a tenant brokerage firm we bring tenants and buyers to the best space to suit their needs. It is our priority to identify and negotiate the best deal that will provide you with a successful transaction.

Our belief is founded on the concept that the buyer is the most important piece of the real estate equation. You and your firm are the one's paying the rent every month after all. You're the reason the deal happens and you should be provided the strategic and creative solutions to your requirements.

No Fees. We do not charge fees for our services. In New York City Landlords factor all of their leasing costs into the leasing transaction and pay the commissions as a matter of normal business. It is often also true in the case of building sales. However in many building sales transactions the buyer will also participate in the commission compensation as per a pre defined agreement on a case by case basis. In the rarest of cases this could also possibly apply to leasing but if this is ever the case this will be clearly communicated prior to any showings or activity. 

Why we do what we do.  We are entrepreneurs who have all come to real estate from different backgrounds. Having had successful ventures in the past has given us a true insight into the needs and requirements of the right space for a company to be successful.

We have signed the rent checks for small lofts and offices up to 90,000/SF. Therefore we know what you are facing as you identify your next space. We know how important of a decision this is and believe that we CAN make a difference for you. 

So whether you are searching for Retail, Office Space or Investment Property we would like the opportunity to help you find your next space.

 

 
What's New

Offices

We recently placed a global financial services firm in 18,500/SF of offices with a series of direct options allowing them to progressively absorb more space in a phased manner over the next 3-7 years. We always work to identify strategies that will allow our clients to maximize the long term value of their tenancy's.

Advertising & Marketing firms are expanding in to the downtown marketplace. R&A has managed a 16,000/SF relocation for a leading advertising firm and also moved a publicly traded marketing firm from Madison Avenue into the vibrant Union Square neighborhood.

R&A's Office brokers recently placed a national Non Profit in their 15,000+/SF New York headquarters on Union Square.

Our small office group recently placed a division of a boutique publishing firm into a 10 year deal that provided them with stability in the Midtown market plus an option for growth-space in to the future.

Retail

Our gallery and fine arts group completed a lease for one of the world's leading auction houses to provide them with a NY headquarters that delivers on all requirements; from brand association, to critical proximity and long term value, we were able to provide them with a solution that meet a dizzying array of needs from logistics to access.

Leading brands look to R&A for the personal touch of a small highly effective firm to launch new locations. We are currently identifying spaces for multiple brands looking at expansion in the New York marketplace. We are currently reviewing 1,200-2,000/SF high traffic spaces for gourmet  food use, as well as exclusive brokers for several restaurateurs looking for similar locations. Contact us to discuss your location.

Identifying the greatest sales opportunity through extensive research and foot traffic analysis allowed us to secure a key location for a leading dot.com brand to integrate their latest retail location in a thriving off-line retail strategy.

SOHO - Unparalleled for brand exposure and real business value has been the market of several smaller retail transactions over the last couple months. Making sure our clients could effectively enter the market in a time frame that provided them with a successful launch strategy for the '07 holiday season was of critical importance.
