AGW Partners

What AGW Partners does

AGW Partners is a New York-based private real estate investment firm that acquires, owns, leases, and manages retail and mixed-use commercial properties across the Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest, with a stated focus on unanchored and shadow-anchored shopping centers of 30,000-70,000 square feet in top 20 metropolitan statistical areas. Founded in 2019 by Adam Greenbaum and Alex Weiss, the firm operates a vertically integrated platform covering acquisitions, accounting, legal, asset management, and leasing, and together with affiliated entities (most notably co-founder Alex Weiss's RW Real Estate Group) manages a combined portfolio exceeding 2.5 million square feet across 100+ properties. AGW differentiates through affiliation with Clean Rite Centers, the largest retail laundromat operator in North America, which provides operational retail insight that informs investment underwriting.

The firm generates revenue primarily through rental income from its directly-owned portfolio of 16 named properties spanning Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Georgia, supplemented by private placement participation across real estate, private equity, and venture capital transactions. Its go-to-market is relationship-driven, relying on longstanding broker networks, off-market deal sourcing, and direct outreach by an internal leasing team. AGW positions itself as a certainty-of-execution buyer, offering large deposits and short closing timeframes backed by a long-term flexible capital structure. Distribution channels are direct: an in-house acquisitions team sources properties regionally, while an internal leasing team handles tenant prospecting and lease negotiations across the portfolio.

The broader AGW ecosystem includes Clean Ventures, a venture capital firm founded in 2020 by Alex Weiss that has deployed over $15 million in laundry-sector investments, and Global Energy LLC, an energy services company with 2,000 utility customers procuring over $100 million in utilities annually. A 12-person team executes across acquisitions (Matt Annibale, Justin Drossman, Rod Mirea), leasing and asset management (Nathan Wilson, Corey Horowitz, Stephen Paras, Anastasia Koniaev), legal and execution (Oren Sauberman, Ilan Galitsky), and project management (Kevin Coleman). The firm has no disclosed external funding rounds, no public listing, and no disclosed revenue figures, operating as a privately held LLC domiciled in New York.
