KHODADADIAN STRIKES OUT ON HIS OWN AGAIN Commercial broker Robert Khodadadian has left Eastern Consolidated to devote all his time to off-market deals with Skyline Properties, a company he founded before the recession. “Nobody wants to deal with exclusives,” Khodadadian told TRD last month. “I can’t count how many times a buyer has told me that when they see an email from a big company, they delete it.” Khodadadian began with Massey Knakal in 2004. During the boom, he struck out on his own. Skyline has two offices at its height – one in Great Neck and one on Park Avenue. Khodadadian let the company wind down when the financial crisis hit. Lat year, he joined with Adelaide Polsinelli when she defected from Marcus & Millichap to Eastern Consolidated. This spring, Khoadadadian decided to re-invigorate Skyline to seize on the upstick in commercial sales spurred by low interest rates. Being on his own allows him to move faster, which Khodadadian told TRD is increasingly important to both sellers and buyers. Right now, Khodadadian is working out of an executive suite rental at 400 Park Avenue but expects to move to bigger, more permanent space when he bring on employee – at a yet undetermined time. Plans call for a staff of eight to 10, besides himself. “It’s really not necessary at the moment,” he said. 212.537.9239 | 600 THIRD AVE, 15TH FL, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10016 | SKYLINEPRP.COM
