Ofer Cohen
Founder & President
Ofer Cohen is the founder and president of TerraCRG. He founded the firm during the first quarter of 2008 with the vision of creating a new type of commercial brokerage and advisory firm. One that focuses solely on the Brooklyn market and efficiently responds to the Brooklyn Commercial Real Estate market and its participants, during all stages of the market cycle. The firm occupies newly redeveloped office space across from the Atlantic Yards.
Under Ofer’s leadership, during its first four years of operations, TerraCRG established itself as a Brooklyn market leader, by effectively responding to the needs of property owners, developers, lenders and investors. Ofer and his focused team diligently worked through many of the transactions that did occur when credit markets tightened in the recession of 2008-2010. The team was a vital force during the recovery that became evident with the strong market of 2011. The team, comprised of seasoned professionals, possess a strong understanding of the unique dynamics and trends in Brooklyn’s commercial real estate market.
Over almost a decade, Ofer was involved in the formal marketing of over 250 Brooklyn properties, including large development sites in Williamsburg and greater Downtown Brooklyn, multifamily buildings, large industrial properties as well as distressed debt loan sales.
Ofer’s focus and involvement in Brooklyn transactions made him a trusted advisor for owners, investors, lenders, development firms and private equity funds looking to capitalize on the growth and potential of the Brooklyn market. He is well versed with the Brooklyn residential development market, the multifamily market as well as industrial and retail properties.
Prior to founding TerraCRG, Ofer was a senior broker at Massey Knakal Realty’s Brooklyn office where he developed his passion and expertise of selling Brooklyn buildings. Prior to that, Ofer was a Partner and Head of Marketing for DayNam, LLC, a New-York based boutique marketing agency that focuses on helping foreign ventures launch their operations in the U.S. market. Earlier in his career, Ofer managed product development, brand strategy, and marketing communications at SonicNet, one of the first NYC-based internet firms (acquired by MTV Networks in 1999).
Ofer regularly speaks at industry conferences, being interviewed by the media about the Brooklyn state of the market and is active in the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. He is also supporting several Brooklyn non-profits.
Ofer served in the Israeli Defense Forces and holds a BS in Business, Management and Economics from the State University of New York. Ofer lives with his wife and twin daughters in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn. In his spare time he enjoys road biking, gourmet cooking and fine wine.
