Development in Western Queens off of Queens Plaza in the neighborhood of Long Island City.
NEW YORK CITY – Michael Wang, a commercial real estate broker and co-chair of the real estate committee at the Queens Chamber of Commerce, is launching a technology-driven real estate brokerage firm focusing specifically on the Queens, New York submarket dubbed Project Queens. Coupling his experience with the most advanced technology, Wang plans to spearhead a firm that is focused on providing granular analytics about market exposure to support developers and investors in the market.
The brokerage aims to capitalize on the demand to innovate traditional ways of brokering to a more modern, technical and service-based process. Project Queens differs from other brokerage firms in that it will focus solely on the Queens submarket, as oppose to multiple boroughs in New York City.
The brokerage recently closed a $10 million industrial portfolio in Flushing and properties in Long Island City, which include a 40,000 square foot retail space at 5-06 51st Ave., and a 75,000 square foot mixed-use retail and office building at 37-10 Queens Blvd. They also added a 60,000 square foot warehouse in College Point, Flushing at 31-89 123rd St. Project Queens' recently closed tenants including Chase Bank, Mango Mango and Code Ninjas.
The new brokerage firm has received welcoming hands from the local community. "As the President and CEO of the Queens Chamber of Commerce, it gives us all great pleasure in supporting one of our own, Michael Wang," said Thomas Grech, executive director of the Queens Chamber of Commerce.
