NEW YORK CITY—Winick Realty Group has created a retail investment sales division in Midtown and made a new hire to lead the effort. Michael Cleeman—who most recently was a VP of investment sales in retail at Cohen Real Estate—has joined the firm as SVP of investment sales.

“I'm looking forward to great synergies between the investment sales and retail leasing teams,” says Cleeman, who brings about 10 years of experience to the table. “The knowledge and information from the retail leasing end of the business will be extremely helpful and beneficial, giving us a strong position from which to service our client base.”

“We are happy to welcome Michael,” adds Winick Realty Group president Steven Baker. “We are confident that his strong reputation and relationships will be a great asset as we launch our investment sales division, which we feel is a natural evolution from our retail leasing business.”

Working alongside Cleeman is Eldon Khorshidi. A former investment sales associate at Cohen Real Estate, Khorshidi actively sought out commercial property sales opportunities in Tribeca and developed relationships with landlords and investors across the city.
