Sell Commercial Property
Selling a Manhattan commercial building off-market preserves three things public listings destroy: pricing leverage (no comp anchor on the market), tenant relationships (no marketing disruption), and discretion (no headline before closing). Skyline Properties has closed $976M+ this way — including the $135M 6 East 43rd Street office-to-residential conversion to Vanbarton Group and the record SoHo retail co-op sale at 131-133 Prince Street ($16,667/SF).
How to Sell Commercial Property in NYC — The Off-Market Process
Skyline Properties operates a senior-led, off-market disposition process. We start with a no-fee BOV (Broker Opinion of Value) grounded in current Manhattan comp data and Skyline's own $976M+ closed transaction history. From there, we curate a target buyer list from our 500+ pre-qualified buyer network — institutional investors, family offices, REITs, and private equity firms — matched to your property's asset class and price band.
Every conversation is NDA-first. Nothing about your property reaches a marketing platform, a comp service, or a listing aggregator until you've signed an LOI you want to honor. Most Skyline dispositions close in 60-90 days from engagement.
- Confidential BOV within 5 business days — no obligation
- NDA-first buyer outreach to 500+ pre-qualified principals
- No public marketing, no auction process, no signs on the building
- Direct principal-to-principal negotiation with senior-level attention
- Robert Khodadadian leads every assignment personally — no junior broker hand-offs
- RED Awards Off-Market Investment Sales Broker of the Year — 2024 and 2025

Why Sellers Choose Skyline
There are larger NYC commercial brokerages. There aren't more disciplined ones. Skyline's $976M+ in closed volume was built off-market by design — the firm declined to chase volume through public-listing churn. The track record is the result.
Sellers who hire Skyline get one senior broker (Robert) on every step of the assignment — from BOV through buyer curation, LOI negotiation, PSA structuring, due diligence management, and closing. No junior broker hand-offs. No team-of-twelve, your-deal-is-the-fifteenth treatment.

Frequently Asked
Most Skyline off-market dispositions close in 60-90 days from engagement, vs. 6-9 months for a typical publicly-marketed Manhattan commercial sale. The compression comes from skipping the 60-90 day marketing phase entirely — we go directly from BOV to NDA-gated buyer pool to LOI.
No. Skyline's entire process is built around confidentiality. Nothing about your property reaches a listing platform, auction service, or comp database until you've signed an LOI you want to honor. There's no MLS-equivalent for commercial in NYC, but we also avoid Crexi, CoStar Listings, LoopNet, and outlet press until the deal is signed.
A listed sale broadcasts your property to the entire NYC commercial market — tenant relationships destabilize, comp-set anchors set price expectations, and headlines run before close. An off-market sale matches your property to a curated list of qualified buyers via senior broker relationships. Pricing leverage stays intact, tenants stay calm, and the headline (if there is one) runs the day of closing, not the day of listing.
Skyline closes deals from approximately $5M to $250M+ in Manhattan, with the focus on the $10M-$150M range. The $135M 6 East 43rd Street and $105M 101 Greenwich Street transactions show the upper end; the firm regularly closes $10M-$30M deals as well.
Yes. For qualified deal referrals from licensed brokers and principals with documented relationships, Skyline pays standard industry referral fees on closed transactions. See /refer-a-deal for terms.
