A Global Approach to Selling
Eastern Consolidated is regularly called upon by international buyers to deliver New York City deals. We know the market, the neighborhoods, and the properties. We know where the deals exist. What’s more, we speak the language. Our brokers are a direct reflection of New York City itself and are fluent in eleven languages including Farsi, Hebrew, French, Spanish, Italian, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Taiwanese, Cantonese, and Shanghainese. With an ear to the ground, vast experience under our belts and a proven history of closing signature deals, Eastern delivers every time.
Strong Relationships
Eastern leverages its close relationships with institutional and private sources based in Europe, Asia, and the United States, to arrange real estate sales and equity placement for all types of New York real estate—commercial, retail, industrial, and residential.
Each year our brokers also meet with a select group of buyers, lawyers, principals, and investors in England, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, China, Israel, Italy and France to help increase cross-border investment.

Ms. Lee represented the seller, and also procured the purchaser. She is Senior Director, Asian Note Sales and Advisory.
