Investment sales broker Seth Pollack has joined RIPCO Real Estate, bringing more than three decades of experience to the firm’s New Jersey team.
Pollack, who will serve as a managing director, makes the move after a decade with Cushman & Wakefield and as a member of its regional capital markets team. He’s now based in RIPCO’s Elmwood Park office and will specialize in retail investment sales.
“Seth brings an impressive depth of experience and market knowledge that aligns perfectly with our goals at RIPCO,” said Mark Kaplan, the firm’s president. “His success in navigating complex investment sales and longstanding relationships in the region will enhance the value we provide to our clients. We’re excited to have him on board and look forward to the impact he’ll make across our growing platform.”
RIPCO noted that, throughout his career, Pollack has specialized in multitenant investment sales within the retail and office sectors. He has closed more than $1 billion in investment property transactions across New Jersey and New York State.
With Cushman, Pollack was a member of the firm’s Metropolitan Capital Markets Group based in East Rutherford, where he concentrated on the investment sales of multitenant retail and office properties in New Jersey and suburban New York. He began his career in the sector as vice president of retail investment sales at Gebroe-Hammer Associates, having also served as a broker with Massey Knakal Realty Services before C&W acquired it in 2014.
Pollack’s career also includes 10 years as director of operations at a private real estate firm in New York City, where he oversaw a 500,000-square-foot portfolio of retail, office and loft commercial properties, according to a news release. His clients have included real estate investment trusts such as Urstadt Biddle Properties, Brixmor Property Group Inc. and Acadia Realty Trust, as well as management, development and operating companies.
“I’m very excited to join RIPCO,” Pollack said. “What RIPCO does and what I’ll be doing align well, creating great synergy and offering our clients an additional option — whether they’re looking to sell or lease space.”
