Alexander Anderson Real Estate Group Expands to Manhattan

- Alexander Anderson Real Estate Group has announced that it has opened its first New York City office. Located at 22 Jones Street in the West Village, Alexander Anderson’s new office will focus on sales, leasing, property management and capital development for both residential and commercial real estate throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. In addition, the full-service real estate firm has announced that Lisa Young has joined as chief operating officer of the new Manhattan office.

According to Eric Anderson, CEO of Alexander Anderson, “Our expansion into New York is a major milestone for Alexander Anderson, which is very solidly entrenched in New Jersey’s real estate arena. In recent years, we expand into Jersey City and quickly achieved meaningful growth in that market. It was a logical next step for us to expand our focus further east to better meet client needs just across the Hudson where we could apply our full-service approach to a whole new customer base. It is a very exciting time, and we look forward to Lisa’s leadership in growing our New York business.”

Young joins Alexander Anderson from the Corcoran Group, where she served as a residential broker for the last 12 years, At Corcoran, Young ranked among the 1% of sales professionals at NRT, the nation’s largest real estate brokerage company and Corcoran’s parent company. A member of the New York Real Estate Board, she earned a BA from Fordham University.

Alexander Anderson Closes on Two Residential Transactions

The firm has already closed on two residential transactions: the first is the sale of a 700-square-foot condo at Dorchester Towers in Lincoln Square for $965,000. The second transaction was the sale of a 1,500-square-foot, pre-war condo located at 333 West 57th Street for $950,000.

“We are seeing a shift to a buyers’ market, so perfect pricing is very important for sellers now to make sure that they get ahead of the market and don’t chase it down while watching competitive apartments sell. Long-term, and even over five-year cycles, owning in New York proves a good investment,” Young noted.

“We have quickly become involved in our new West Village community, having joined the Greenwich Village and Chelsea Chambers of Commerce, the Greenwich Village Society for Historical Preservation, participating in local street fairs and with plans to host book signings and art showings in at our new space,” noted Anderson. “Our integration into the community is very much in line with the level of personal attention our firm brings to the New York City real estate scene,” explained Anderson.
