L&L Holding has named Tanya Grimaldo vice president of leasing and promoted Giannina Brancato to assistant vice president of leasing. The two will work alongside Jonathan Tootell, who joined L&L in January as executive vice president, to head leasing efforts across the firm’s eight million-square-foot portfolio.
In addition to their focus on L&L’s existing New York City portfolio, the team will collaborate with L&L’s partners and in-place leasing teams for the ongoing redevelopment of Terminal Warehouse into a 1.3 million-square-foot wellness-focused, high-performance workplace and retail destination in West Chelsea.
“We are pleased to welcome Tanya to the L&L team and support Giannina’s continued ascent,” said L&L Holding President and Chief Investment Officer Robert Lapidus. “Their fresh perspectives and unique skill sets, which span the areas of commercial leasing, property management and tenant services, will further enhance L&L’s ability to attract and retain industry-leading companies to our portfolio of iconic office assets.”
Prior to joining L&L in March, Grimaldo spent nearly a decade at the Durst Organization, most recently serving as associate director of commercial leasing. Notable transactions during her tenure include headquarters relocations for the National Basketball Players Association and Nasdaq.
She earned her bachelor of science degree in psychology from Fordham University and a Certificate of Real Estate Finance from CUNY Baruch College. She is a member of the Real Estate Board of New York, Young Men’s & Women’s Real Estate Association and CREW NYC.
Brancato joined L&L in November 2021 as portfolio tenant coordinator before being promoted to assistant property manager. In this role, she focused on managing tenant relations, budgeting and operations at 390 Madison, the 850,000-square-foot, redeveloped office tower. Brancato began her career at SL Green, where she served as a portfolio administrator overseeing 12 buildings.
Brancato holds a bachelor of science in business from the University of Maryland, College Park and is currently pursuing a master of science in real estate development at NYU. She serves as the Chairperson of the non-profit organization Next Generation Industry Leaders and BOMA NY’s Emerging Leaders, and she is a member of CREW and REBNY.
