NEW YORK CITY—Continuing the rapid expansion of its retail leasing division, Eastern Consolidated has added industry veteran Brad Cohen as senior director. The retail leasing expert will focus on landlord advisory services.
Prior to joining Eastern Consolidated, Cohen was a landlord advisor at the Shopping Center Group (SCG Retail), where he spearheaded the development of advisory services for the New York office and completed numerous transactions on behalf of property owners including Equity Residential, Prana Investments, and J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Prior to SCG, Cohen served as a retail leasing agent at Ripco Real Estate for seven years.
“Brad brings more than a decade of experience in retail leasing and represented some of the nation's most notable property owners including Avalon Bay Communities, Extell Development, Equity Residential, Gotham Organization, Related Companies, and RREEF,” says Daun Paris, president of Eastern Consolidated. “As an exceptional, intuitive advisor with expansive knowledge of the New York retail market, he will be a key asset to our clients and growing retail leasing division.”
Cohen has worked with a variety of local and national tenants including Beth Israel Medical Center, Chef Marcus Samuelsson (Red Rooster Harlem), New York Eye & Ear Infirmary, and the US Postal Service. He has also completed transactions with such well-known brands as Starbucks, CityMD, Crunch Gym, Applebee's, Marshall's, Modell's, American Apparel, Smithsonian Institute, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and Dollar Tree.
The move comes on the heels of Eastern bringing in Anastasia (Annie) Meyding as director last month and making several hires in January to launch the division.
