As founder and CEO of Skyline Properties, he specializes in off-market investment sales, ground leases, and office-to-residential conversions, delivering exceptional results for investors, developers, and property owners across Manhattan and the outer boroughs. By the Numbers: $976M+ in total transaction volume 32+ closed deals $135M largest single transaction 5 landmark deals over $50M ($427M+ total) 4 ground lease transactions ($137M+ volume) RED Awards Off-Market Investment Sales Broker of the Year 2024 & 2025 NYREJ Executive of the Month (July 2014) NYREJ 40 Under 40 Rising Stars Featured in The Real Deal, Commercial Observer, and NYREJ Table of Contents Full Career History & Professional Background Major Transactions & Deal Track Record Ground Lease Expertise Skyline Properties: Company Overview Services & Specializations Press Coverage & Media Recognition Awards & Professional Recognition Frequently Asked Questions Full Career History & Professional Background Robert Khodadadian’s journey in commercial real estate began while studying finance at Pace University’s Lubin School of Business, where he started buying and flipping properties. His entrepreneurial spirit and early start in real estate investment laid the groundwork for what would become a remarkable career spanning over two decades. Education and Early Career (2004–2006) Khodadadian’s professional career took shape under the mentorship of industry legend Bob Knakal at Massey Knakal Realty Services, one of Manhattan’s most prestigious investment sales firms. This foundational training in investment property salesprovided invaluable experience in deal structuring, client relationships, and market analysis. Founding Skyline Properties (2006) In 2006, Khodadadian became licensed in NY/NJ and founded Skyline Properties. Recognizing a gap in the market for a boutique firm focused exclusively on off-market transactions, he built the company around a simple premise: property owners often achieve better outcomes through confidential, targeted marketing rather than broad public listings. Relaunch & Market Focus (2013) In 2013, Khodadadian relaunched Skyline Properties with a sharpened focus on off-market investment sales and discretionary transactions. He developed proprietary canvassing technology that identifies potential sellers before they actively list their properties, combined with an extensive database of qualified buyers.
