Founded in 1986 by brothers, Alan and Neil Goldstein, the company is guided by the simple premise of being a “client-focused” organization. Part of its success is attributable to the gathering and sharing of market data with their clients enabling them to make the most informed and educated business decisions toward the commitment of purchasing or leasing retail space.

The importance of high quality professionals and extensive market knowledge is evident in the company’s approach to business. The group utilizes a team structure known as market teams. “Market teams are a concept that we developed nine years ago,” says Chuck Lanyard, principal and director of brokerage services. “Paramus, New Jersey, was the first market in which we implemented the concept. The team became immersed in knowing personally all the landlords and tenants.” By closely working together and sharing information, Team Paramus closed more than 60 deals, totaling approximately $150 million of aggregate value. Team Paramus spawned six other teams throughout our region covering the corridors of Route 46, Route 23, Route 10, Route 22, Route 18/1 and Route 9. “We find this approach to be an important tool to better serve our clients and maintain dominance in each geographical area,” adds Lanyard.

The firm has successfully closed 100 transactions for General Nutrition Centers, more than 50 for Radio Shack, and approximately 150 for the Woolworth/Foot Locker Company, most of which were dispositions. The Group has also worked extensively and closed multiple deals with companies such as Marshalls, TJ Maxx, CVS, Walgreens, Lazy Boy Furniture, Mandee, Annie Sez, Home Depot, H&R Block, UPS Stores and Casual Male.

Friday’s, McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s, White Castle and Dunkin’ Donuts.

As part of its expansion plans, two new divisions have been formed, Goldstein Development and Goldstein Equities. Goldstein Development Company develops retail and residential projects. This subsidiary acquires properties, creates joint ventures utilizing a “value added” services technique and handles construction management and project financing.
