NEW YORK CITY-Continuing its white-hot growth streak, Avison Young has opened a Long Island office, giving the firm its 50th office. The effort is being spearheaded by Ted Stratigos—formerly of Cushman & Wakefield—who tells GlobeSt.com EXCLUSIVELY that he brought over one of his brokers, Amanda Gorozdi, for the new entity.
Stratigos has hired another broker but declined to reveal who will be in the role. AY's Long Island office, will cover not only Nassau and Suffolk counties but also Queens and Brooklyn. The outter boroughs are technically on the Island, Stratigos notes.
The time was right to establish such an effort, he says. “Long Island is a market that no firm can afford to ignore,” says Stratigos. “In the office sector across Nassau and Suffolk alone there is about 40 million square feet, and industrial is 200 million square feet. When you add Queens and Brooklyn, the numbers more than double. And many companies in the City have satellite or back offices here."
