Brooklyn real estate executive wins place on ’30 Under 30′ list
The Commercial Observer has named Michael A. Tortorici, vice president of Ariel Property Advisors and one of the firm’s founding members, to its first annual “30 under 30” list of New York’s promising young commercial real estate brokers under 30. Mr. Tortorici is a resident of Boerum Hill, Brooklyn.
“Earlier this month, we asked executives, communication directors and your peers to nominate individuals they most admired under the age of 30—the ones they believe rank high among New York’s next wave of tenant and landlord representatives, investment sales agents, and retail fixers,” Jotham Sederstrom, editor-in-chief for the Commercial Observer wrote. “And after reviewing client rosters and career statistics, we were able to whittle a long list of talented individuals…”
Mr. Tortorici launched his career in commercial real estate while a student at NYU when he began an internship at Massey Knakal Realty Services working for Shimon Shkury, who is currently president of Ariel Property Advisors but was then a partner at Massey Knakal. Mr. Shkury started the firm with Mr. Tortorici, Victor Sozio, and Ivan Petrovic in 2011.
