NEW YORK CITY-ABS Partners Real Estate, LLC announced Wednesday that Alan Friedman has joined the firm as senior managing director in the brokerage division.

Friedman spent the past 12 years as an office tenant representative with the global brokerage firm CBRE and has represented a broad array of tenants including financial services, legal and professional services.

“We are delighted that Alan will be a part of the ABS team and family,” says Gregg Schenker, co-managing partner and president of ABS, in the release. “His extensive tenant representative experience will help us enhance our office leasing division and enable us to provide our clients with innovative solutions to obtaining the right deal.”

Before joining CBRE, he worked in custody services at the Bank of New York, and in the telecommunications industry.

“I am looking forward to helping ABS Partners expand their tenant rep business,” Friedman says in the announcement. “With its reputation as a best in class landlord, landlord rep and property manager, ABS has always been an important part of the New York real estate community, and I am excited to be a part of the team.”

This is the second major personnel move for ABS in 2013. In April, ABS announced that it was merging with John Brod and his team of professionals from PBS Real Estate.
