About
A retail and investment practice built on the corridors we cover.
Safdie Realty Group advises landlords, tenants, and investors on ground-floor retail and mixed-use property across New York City. We work a defined set of corridors closely rather than covering the whole market thinly.
That focus is the product. It means an honest read on what a space will actually rent for, which tenants are genuinely in the market, and where a price expectation is going to run into trouble in diligence.
How we work
Three things we hold to
Corridor-level knowledge
Rents move block to block, not neighborhood to neighborhood. We track what actually signed on each corridor, not what was asked.
Underwriting that survives diligence
Numbers are built from the rent roll and the tax bill up. If a deal only works on optimistic assumptions, we say so before it goes to market.
One point of contact
The person you meet is the person who runs the assignment — through tours, negotiation, contract, and closing.
