We have recommended your firm to others for office leasing. We look forward to doing future transactions with your company.Bill, there were two points we relayed to you; the budget and the importance of image. You were successful in achieving satisfaction for both!”
MDLAND’s President, Dr. Henry Chen:
“We needed a broker with speed and knowledge. We found Bill, who moved us into the perfect new space for our rapidly expanding technology firm, which provides the latest cutting edge medical software platforms.
Bill and his firm Prime Manhattan Realty responded by fully researching the Midtown Manhattan Loft Office Market and showing us spaces immediately. His relentless effort & dedication led us to believe that he would leave no stone unturned to meet our needs. Those efforts led us here to 15 East 32nd Street.
The high ceilings and large windows in our full floor loft allowed us to install beautiful glass front executive offices & a bullpen area that matched our need for an open, airy work environment; our trust & reliance in Bill’s expertise paid off.
Bill, there were two points we relayed to you; the budget and the importance of image.
Dear Todd & Scott
I would like to thank you for both for all your quick work as well as your efforts assisting, identify and securing short-term office space in a Class A building in Midtown Manhattan with very little or no time to spare.

Also, your professionalism and attention in making sure that our move went as smooth and quickly as possible are recognized by our firm. We always felt that you had our best interest at heart and did everything in your power to ensure that our goals were accomplished from presenting us the best available short term sublet options to touring and then negotiating the best possible business terms regarding our sublease proved you took care of everything.
Your knowledge of the New York City Commercial Real Estate market, attention to detail, the understanding of our needs as well as your dedication to helping us through the entire process, left a lasting impression on our company.
I will no doubt, highly recommend you to any of our partners and look forward to working with you on any future projects.
Thanks once again for your support.

Dear Jeff
Prime Manhattan Realty is not just another realty company nor do they employ just any realtors. I had searched for commercial space for almost 4 months. It started with one realtor (not Prime Manhattan) for 2 weeks, and then I was referred to another realtor (not Prime Manhattan) and continued my search for 3 more weeks. So in 5 weeks I saw maybe a total of 3 spaces. Frustrated I contacted Prime Manhattan Realty and Jeff Hersh. (Discovered through the NY Times). In my first outing with Jeff (which was 48 hrs after my initial contact) I saw 3 spaces in 2 hours. After talking with Jeff I saw that he was not like the other realtors in that he gave me an education about the world of commercial realty. This is was invaluable. The needs of my space are medical/ physical therapy in nature as well as health/wellness facility. Not an easy task for Jeff to explain to landlords. At the end of 6 weeks and countless hours of Jeff's hard work and guidance I have found the perfect location for my business. And after everything I have learned about the world of commercial realty, I feel I have achieved an amazing deal.
The best part is you get a knowledgeable realtor / tenant advocate / friend. In my opinion Prime Manhattan Realty and Jeff Hersh are the go to people in commercial real estate.

Dear Scott
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you once again for representing our firm in negotiations on our space renewal.
When we originally moved in almost 10 years ago your expert skills in listening to our requirement to find the exact space we had in mind was most remarkable along with successfully negotiating a below Market deal with all possible concessions was greatly appreciated.
As been documented our company MJ Gruber has been an exemplary tenant in our building. When Ownership contacted us to renew and advised me of the new possible rent without any of the concessions, I did not even engage or respond as I knew there was only one call to be made!
Immediately after I engaged you to represent us your stellar reputation in the Industry combined with expert negotiating with the landlord quickly proceeded to achieve our goals.
Once again, you achieved below Market rent with a full concession package consisting of work allowance and additional free rent. Your knowledge and expertise in all facets of Real estate along with your deep understanding and knowledge from lease review and locating the Perfect location, construction and all other necessary trades was most invaluable in order for us to achieve a seamless transition when we originally moved in and we still are in great appreciation!
We always recommend you to all our partners who are in need of any office space.
.
To Whom it may concern
It is with great pleasure that I recommend working with Scott Bennett as a commercial real-estate
broker. Scott showed up immediately after a phone call to introduce myself, and after a short meeting
he understood exactly what my criteria were for finding a new office space.
I am a designer, and own a branding and design agency; as such we had very definite requirements for
the type of space we were looking for. We also had a tight budget and specific locations we would
consider. This coupled with Manhattan being the most expensive commercial market in history last
year made for a difficult assignment.
Remarkably, Scott found us a beautiful 5,000 square feet loft space in Chelsea just off the High Line,
below market-in less than two weeks. He also played an instrumental role for us to be approved by
the landlord for the space, and helped us navigate a difficult sublet clause. Ultimately, we ended up
with a lease that allowed us to sublet and receive three months with no rent for construction. Both
were not in the original lease but were important to us taking the space.
I whole hearted recommend working with Scott to tenaciously help you find the right space for
your needs.
Dear Scott
It was pleasure working with you. I would like to thank you for helping us find the perfect office.
We really appreciate your great negotiation skills with the sublandlord to secure our ideal loft in the
Meat Packing district as we are aware that Amazing spaces like ours are a rare find!
We are truly grateful for your professionalism and determination in making sure that our move was as
easy as possible. We highly recommend your real-estate expertise.
Dear Scott
It was pleasure working with you again, and I would like to thank you for securing the 27th Floor at 712 Fifth Avenue.
We greatly appreciate your skillful negotiating with the landlord on our behalf and the effort provided to achieve all the concessions and the best possible results. Again, I wanted to thank you for your expertise in working with the Architect and the building construction department in order for us to achieve the highest quality and timely construction process. We are truly grateful of your professionalism and determination in making sure that our move was as simplistic as possible.
Dear Todd

Dear Jonathan Anapol
I wanted to take this time to tell you what a great job Omar Sozkesen did for me in finding and securing my office space.
I have been in my present office at 70 W36th St for the past 12 years.
in August when I started to look
for new space, I remembered your company (Prime Manhattan). After I emailed you, I was put in contact with Omar. Thank you!
I had 3 other brokers looking for space for me. Omar listened to EXACTLY what I my needs were. He not only found the PERFECT space in the EXACT LOCATION. He negotiated an amazing deal for me.
He's a patient, calm, persistent and very detailed oriented Broker who DID NOT waste my time trying to convince to take space that wasn't right for me or show me space in mid-town that was over priced and not to the specs I requested. That's what set him apart from all the other brokers.
Furthermore, this deal took 6 weeks to consummate because the landlord was not exactly in a big rush. Omar stayed with this deal and made it happen with his quiet and consistent manor and assured me that the deal would go through. It did and the landing was smooth.
As an employer for 28 years, I know how important and hard it is to find good employees. My suggestion, is to keep close tabs on Omar.
In my opinion, he's a valuable asset for your company.
Thank you again. Your company did a great job.

Dear Omar
Re-locating an office can be a daunting and intimidating task for a
small business. The ability to find an optimal office is critical to
future success, as is the need for guidance on navigating the rental
process. Prime Manhattan and in particular agent Omar Sozkesen in this
regard were lifesavers. Their patience and persistence in working with
us to find a space that met our needs was outstanding. Omar is a true
professional. I would never consider working with any other real estate
agent again.
Thanks You,
William G. Daddi

Dear Stanley
Richard and I think so highly of you and the way you conduct yourself
in business. We regard you as more than a resource. If you allow us,
as a friend who put up with our endless search for what we needed to
find a new office. I would gladly send you all the business we can provided
the individuals meet the minimum requirements for character, finances
etc. so that you realize we are not merely sending you anyone, but,
hopefully, a qualified candidate who will appreciate all the talents
you offer us in a world as foreign as can be but made more civil by
your presence and thoughtfulness.
We wish you and your loved-ones a healthy, happy, prosperous and safe
New Year. Enjoy your sojourns to Costa Rica or wherever your heart takes
you. We hold you in our hearts always with affection.

Scott Bennett from Prime Manhattan Realty assisted us in our search
to find a new office space last year, which he did within two months.
One of our requirements was to find a qualifying sub-tenant to lease
our old space, which he made happen within the same time frame.
We are very happy in our new office and have good sub-tenants who pay
on time, thanks to Scott. We are very happy with the services he provided
us and would recommend him to anyone looking to lease or sublease a
commercial property.
Please feel free to contact me if
you have any questions.

Dear Jonathan and Bill
I just wanted to thank you for the great job that you did in renting
the offices I chose to sublet. Prime Manhattan Realty has always provided
excellent service, and your fortuitous efforts resulted in a successful
leasing program.
You took the time to show my seven extra offices to tenants requiring
shared law space during the construction phase of my custom installation
and subsequently provided us with tenants that took the great majority
of said offices.
Once again, thank you for your efforts. You can be rest assured that
not only are you my first choice but I would recommend you to anyone
that is seeking a first class broker. You guys care and it really shows.
In working with you we don't feel that we are working with brokers,
we feel that we are working with friends.
