What Cohen Commercial Properties does

Cohen Commercial Properties is a privately held, founder-controlled commercial real estate investment firm headquartered at 535 5th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. Founded in 1998, the firm acquires and manages a diversified portfolio of 65 commercial properties across eight U.S. states (Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio), with a primary focus on urban and suburban retail real estate. Its core product set comprises regional and neighborhood shopping centers (Roebuck Marketplace at 410,000 SF in Birmingham, AL; Westside South at 324,000 SF in Gretna, LA; Jacaranda Plaza at 173,044 SF in Plantation, FL; Beechmont Town Center, Naples South Plaza, Ramapo Plaza), mixed-use and Class A office assets (86 Main Street in Yonkers; 949-959 Southern Blvd in the Bronx), industrial facilities (Icehouse Avenue in Sparks, NV), residential condominiums and apartments (Huxley, 1400 5th Avenue), and a 16-property New Jersey sub-portfolio. The firm is actively expanding into ground-up residential development with the Teutonia Hall two-tower, 906-unit project in Yonkers (Phase I breaking ground September 2025) and the Chicken Island predevelopment for approximately 2,000 units.

The firm generates revenue through rental income from a national credit-tenant base that includes Walmart Supercenter (shadow anchor), Home Depot, Publix, Planet Fitness, Dollar Tree, Ross Dress For Less, Walgreens, Citibank, Starbucks, Wawa, T-Mobile, 7-Eleven, Westchester County government, and others. Its business model is direct-to-counterparty: privately held with discretionary equity and strong banking relationships enabling expedited underwriting and accelerated closings, often executed in partnership with strategic co-investors. Pricing is quote-based and individually negotiated; no public pricing, fee schedule, or revenue figures are disclosed. Marketing is conducted through the company's website portfolio and direct outreach via its acquisitions and asset management team.

The firm has no disclosed technology platform, proprietary software, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or third-party integrations. Its competitive position is grounded in irreplaceable premier-location assets, integrated in-house execution led by founder/CEO Andrew J. Cohen and Director of Acquisitions and Asset Management Sam E. Catton, and the ability to deploy capital rapidly across transactions that slower institutional or REIT competitors cannot match.
