Bio
Brad Zackson is a leading figure in real estate development, finance and management in New York City and overseas. Mr. Zackson is the Chief Executive Officer of Dynamic Worldwide Group LLC., a consortium of real estate companies which provide investment, development, management and sales and marketing services for a number of properties in New York City, the surrounding areas, and worldwide. Early in his career, Mr. Zackson was the exclusive broker and manager for Fred Trump of the original Trump Organization, where he managed and supervised over 45,000 residential units in the New York area.
Currently Mr. Zackson is the driving force in the acquisition of 3 significant property assemblages in Long Island City, New York. The first property 23-10 Queens Plaza South, is now a 44 Story rental tower with 391 units and future commercial development coming. The second property know as the “Clock Tower Building” was a masterful assemblage of two adjacent properties, owned by different owners as well as the expedited purchase of air rights from the MTA to create a 1,000,000 developable sq ft site with a 15 year 421a and no affordable component required. Mr. Zackson spearheaded the acquisitions, zoning lot merger and other critical “paper” development aspects in order to close this transaction before the original 421a deadline was set to expire. The third property, also in Long Island City, very near 23-10 Queens Plaza South, was an off market transaction, friendly negotiation from a non-seller. Mr. Zackson was able to accommodate the sellers needs by agreeing to a sale leaseback and the seller agreeing to allow the necessary work for Mr. Zackson to secure a 421a Tax Abatement under the laws that were extended 6 months past the deadline. Now with a up-zoning in the area pending, Mr. Zackson’s vision has created a significant value increase.
Over a period of six years during the late eighties and early nineties, Mr. Zackson converted over 100 rental properties into co-ops and condominiums in New York City and the surrounding areas. He specialized in successfully steering a real estate project through all stages of the development process. From investment analysis through purchase, development, management and operations, and finally marketing and sales, he was actively involved in all the critical aspects of the asset management and sales which included: the purchase of the buildings; the highest and best use of the property, and its repositioning; the implementation of the plan including redesign of lobbies, hallways, and apartments, as well as formulating management philosophies, policies, and procedures; developing and implementing marketing programs; and creating pre-approved financing packages for the end-user, which in turn led to faster sales and higher sales prices. Mr. Zackson is known for his creative approach to real estate development and his uncanny ability to spot opportunities and to anticipate future trends.
