With more than 20 years of experience in representing commercial tenants, Richard Gottlieb may be a company’s best resource for a favorable office lease or investment sale. His expertise in the field also encompasses financial analysis, lease restructuring and negotiation, which explains why so many of his clients are financial service-based businesses. Companies focusing on cost-efficient strategies especially appreciate Richard’s acumen in identifying, negotiating and securing the most desirable space at the most favorable terms.
“Throughout the process, I protect my clients’ interests,” Richard points out. “From helping to define their space needs and budgetary goals to working with them step-by-step throughout the process, even after a lease is negotiated, every detail is covered. I not only analyze a company’s future projections in order to determine how much space is needed, I also figure out which commercial districts will best serve its goals and culture.”
Richard’s diverse client base covers myriad market sectors. Among his many financial services clients are both nationally known and boutique firms, such as Oppenheimer, Forex Capital Markets, Credit Renaissance, MFR Securities, Olympia Capital Associates and Kiodex. Over the years, he has shepherded many non-profits, including Goethe Institute and Skin Cancer Foundation, into cost-saving headquarters. In addition, he helped leading maritime law firm Cichanowicz, Callan, Keane, Vengrow & Textor, LLP dramatically expand its space. He has also arranged retail space for national and international businesses, such as Scottrade and Maserati.
In addition to being a 2010 Silver Circle of Distinction Award Winner, he was also Coldwell Banker Commercial’s number one sales professional in New York State. Commercial real estate is actually a second career for Richard. Prior to becoming a broker, he served as Senior Vice President of Jones Apparel Group.
A native New Yorker, Richard holds a B.S. in Business from Fairleigh Dickinson University.
