Northmarq’s Anthony Cohen is six years into his commercial real estate career and already holds top roles at a firm noted for its leasing, sales and debt acumen.
Cohen, 34, is a managing director in Northmarq’s Los Angeles commercial investment sales office and co-leader of the firm’s national net-lease and sale-leaseback group. Since 2020 — when he started his real estate brokerage career at Ascension — Cohen has worked on deals with a cumulative volume exceeding $1 billion.
His experience in both real estate and finance — he worked at J.P. Morgan for two years after college — make him a pro at advising businesses on their real estate needs.
Cohen, who leads a team of five producers at Northmarq, said the most popular investment today is one that saves buyers money on taxes: accelerated depreciated assets like gas stations, car washes or even oil change sites.
“Those are the most interesting and most highly sought-after assets right now,” he said.
Commercial Observer sat down with Cohen last week to discuss that investment trend, his career so far, and what he’s seeing in the market today.
