Decades ofPerspective
Since 1979 when Jerry Handler founded our firm, we've brought a passion for the details to every facet of our business. As a multi-faceted real estate company and owner/operator of more than one million square feet of commercial space, our decades of perspective ground our get it done approach.
Details Matter
We own, manage, and invest in a diverse portfolio encompassing more than one million square feet of commercial, residential, industrial, and mixed-use properties throughout the metropolitan area and the United States.
Our Manhattan commercial portfolio is comprised of the following properties:



561 7TH AVENUE
NEW YORK, NY
Prime office space in the heart of Manhattan with modern amenities and excellent accessibility.
Creative Thinking
&
Committed Doing
Whether as owners (Handro Properties, ESSH Investments LLC), leasing agents (Handler Real Estate Services) or managing agents (Handro Management Group) our focus is always on both the big picture as well as the small details. This leads us to look at every challenge as an opportunity and every day as a reason to add value.
Our roots lie in New York City where we continue to own and manage properties for our own account. A recent ambitious growth program has added several additional business lines – a thriving boutique tenant representation practice, a robust consulting practice, agency representation and an investment portfolio comprised of over 100 unique investments, both domestic and international.

Premium Real Estate
Strategic investments across Manhattan's most prestigious districts
In 2015 we created a new entity, ESSH Investments LLC, to expand our investments beyond our core portfolio. Since that time, we have participated in over 110 unique investments, including more than 20 in 2022 and 2023, across multiple asset classes including multifamily, mixed-use, industrial, self-storage, and student housing. We continue to actively seek diverse equity and debt opportunities where our knowledge, insight, and experience add value to our partnerships.

RELATIONSHIPS MATTER
Part of our success can be attributed to our broad and deep network representing every corner of the real estate business. This informs our knowledge base and contributes to our decision-making capacity knowing that for any question that may arise or any circumstance requiring due diligence we can call upon this network of experts for insight and guidance.
Tenant Representation
We bring a practiced and nuanced landlord's perspective to tenant representation which imbues our clients with a comprehensive understanding of the current state of the market and the best approach to leasing in the moment.
We understand how – and importantly, when – to be both aggressive and reasonable on behalf of each client and we approach each lease negotiation from a holistic perspective to reach a win-win outcome. We pride ourselves on our communications skills and strive for as much transparency as feasible so that all parties are more than satisfied at closing.
