My husband and I had been speaking to Bob Knakal three or four times per year for many years and he was always so helpful letting us know what was selling in the neighborhood and for how much. We live in Texas so having someone on the ground in NY to advise us was very reassuring. He really knew our neighborhood and we felt extremely comfortable hiring him to represent our property for sale. It was in our family for a long time and we didn’t want just anyone selling it for us. Bob did a wonderful job for us and got us a beautiful price. We were lucky to find Bob and are very grateful for his help.

Our property was in an unusual zoning district for Manhattan where the FAR was well below the FAR on surrounding blocks. Based upon the tremendous impact this could have on value, we chose Bob Knakal and his team to represent us because we felt he would be effectively able to convince buyers that there was additional tangible value in our asset beyond what currently existed. Bob’s extensive knowledge and unparalleled track record within the area made him an easy choice to represent us. Our confidence in him was well founded as we achieved a price which set a record for the neighborhood. We would gladly recommend Bob and his team to other potential sellers.

From the start of this project, we assumed the tenant on the ground floor would be the most logical buyer for a number of reasons but we just couldn’t get them to the fair price.

Bob did a great job for us here.

Bob Knakal and his team had done work successfully for us in the past and was a great choice for us. 920 Broadway was an office building in need of repositioning and the 38th/39th Street assets could be upgraded for continued office use, could be converted to hotel, could be considered a development site or a hybrid of these potential uses.

Bob Knakal had sold several assets for me previously and when it was time to sell 1176 Second Avenue, I knew the transaction was not going to be easy and knew exactly who I was going to have sell it for me. This three story retail condo was mostly below grade with two levels below the small space at street level. The space sat vacant for many years and we decided it was time to sell it. Bob told us that the likely buyer was a user and, more specifically, a user from the decorator & design industry given the predominance of these tenants in the neighborhood. Bob called on every one of those tenants and found the perfect user buyer for me. What can I say, he hit the ball out of the park for me on this very difficult transaction.

Our school had several assets to sell as we wanted to take advantage of the real estate market to raise funds to expand our educational mission. We identified several assets that we were interested in selling. Given his stellar track record, we asked Bob Knakal to take a look at all of the assets and provide his opinion of value and strategic insights about what should be sold now and what we should wait to sell. We were not expecting a broker to tell us not to sell some assets now, but that’s what Bob did.

I initially thought selling my building would be easy. For years, everyone on the block would be calling me and telling men they wanted to purchase the property.

We are happy to provide any potential seller with our highest recommendation of Bob and his team.

We were dealing with a very complex set of issues. We had an existing site with significant buildable rights and the potential of rezoning our entire campus with additional sites providing for increased density. We also knew we needed to monetize some of the assets in the short term and the rezoning would have taken too long for us to meet our needs. Given Bob Knakal’s exceptional experience with development sites and his vast experience with non-profit organizations, we felt that Bob and his team were the perfect choice for us. Bob was our trusted advisor, guiding us thoughtfully through each step of the process and we could not be happier with the results he and his team produced for us. I highly recommend Bob and his team to any seller of a development site in New York City. You will have an advocate watching over you every step of the way. There is no one better than Bob and his team!

We knew that Bob Knakal and his team were the right brokers for this assignment given his track record in the sale of development sites. We needed a broker with an understanding and expertise in multifamily property sales as well, as this transaction had a combination of both. Bob and his team gave this deal great exposure and brought dozens of buyers to the table. We could not be happier with the service we received and the results that were produced. We highly recommend Bob to any seller in New York.

Given the proximity of our site to the core Midtown Plaza District, we suspected that a foreign based developer would be the most likely buyer. Based upon this, we felt that Bob Knakal, and his team, would be able to access this segment of the market. This along with extensive track record selling development sites in New York City made Bob an easy choice for the assignment. As expected, Bob was able to identify a foreign developer to purchase our site. We are very pleased with the results.
