Bio
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.
Under Ofer’s leadership, in just five short years, and through the depths of the recession, TerraCRG established itself as a true market leader, closing over 50 transactions a year and ranked number 2 in the 2012 Top 10 Brooklyn Commercial Brokerage Firm Ranking by Co-Star.
By effectively responding to the needs of property owners, developers, lenders and investors Ofer and his 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 hundreds of 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 and is often interviewed by the media about the Brooklyn market. He is the co-chair of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce Real Estate Committee and a member of the Chamber’s government Affairs Committee. Ofer is on the board of directors of The Downtown Brooklyn Partnership and the Hannah Senesh Community Day School, and has been actively supporting several other 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. He 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.
