"I am excited to join Elie and the entire Nightingale team to aid the company in realizing its full growth potential, and building a world-class institutional real estate investment firm," said Avi.

Led by Elie Schwartz, Nightingale Properties is an established vertically-integrated commercial real estate investment firm founded in 2005 with a track record exceeding $10 billion. Headquartered in New York City, Nightingale has owned and managed over 22 million square feet of office, retail, data center, life sciences, and parking assets across 22 states. Primarily, Nightingale seeks value-oriented investments with repositioning or redevelopment opportunities in high-growth and urban core markets. By leveraging a proprietary network to identify unique real estate opportunities, Nightingale targets well-located assets with intrinsic, under-appreciated value due to operating inefficiencies, undercapitalization, or market dislocation, in addition to core, defensive, truly multi-generational investment opportunities that stand the test of time. Nightingale synergizes the past with the present to maximize investment returns in the future.
