Compass retains Matrix Technology Group for design/installation of integrated technology infrastructure at new Brooklyn Heights office

Brooklyn, NY Matrix Technology Group (MTG), a leading provider of technology infrastructure consulting, design, and integration, has been retained by multinational real estate brokerage Compass for a fast-track project at its new 3,100 s/f Brooklyn Heights sales office, at 124 Montague St. The project, which represents MTG’s 161 Compass assignment in two years, entails the design, integration, installation, and maintenance of low voltage, audio-visual and electronic security systems.

The protocols for the Brooklyn Heights location are consistent with other projects MTG has completed for Compass, encompassing installations in brokerage and back-office units throughout the U.S. In addition to physical cabling, system integration, and programming, MTG’s contract includes 24/7 maintenance service.

“We are proud our work is so valued by a preeminent brand recognized worldwide for its superior technology capabilities,” said Emir Hot, Matrix founder and strategy/partner. “To meet the scope of Compass’s technology needs, we have ensured in-house technicians are ready to provide optimal service at all times.”

Jim Breslin, delivery/partner, MTG, said, “We were asked to complete all three installations within a month. But after so many projects together, we are confident we will meet those expectations and beyond!”

To mitigate supply chain issues that could result in possible project delays, MTG previously stocked up on a variety of materials, many pertinent to Compass’s specific installations. In addition, MTG initiated a program last year training inhouse technicians in more than one trade to ensure flexible teams would always be accessible to this client and others.

Multi-generational multifamily owners - who’s in and who’s out - by Shallini Mehra and Amit Doshi

Many long-time property owners are divesting from their rent stabilized properties at an increasingly rapid pace. This trend has gained momentum primarily due to the unyielding permanence of rent laws over the past six years and the increasing operating costs that continue to outstrip rent growth.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
