Eastern Union, a national commercial real estate firm providing both capital markets advisory services and financing services, has named industry veteran Ben N. Weiss to the position of senior managing director of investment sales for New York City and the greater tri-state region.
While Eastern Union has primarily focused on commercial mortgage brokerage services over its 21-year history, it launched an investment sales division in September 2019 from its Mid-Atlantic regional office in Bethesda, Maryland. Weiss’ arrival at the company signals the expansion of Eastern Union’s investment sales business into the New York City region.
Weiss comes to Eastern Union after an 18-year tenure with The Besen Group, a New York City-based investment sales firm, where he most recently held the position of managing director for investment sales. Prior to that, he served as director of business development with a major pharmaceutical vendor.
Mr. Weiss has closed sales transactions representing all asset classes throughout the New York City and tri-state region, including multifamily, bulk condominium packages, industrial, retail, office, mixed-use, distressed assets and note sales, as well as more complex development and assemblage transactions. He received a master’s degree in real estate finance and investments from NYU’s Schack Institute of Real Estate.
