Koenigsberg of American Investment Props. is committed to serving his real estate clients

As one of Long Island's most successful commercial real estate brokers, Ron Koenigsberg has had an amazing journey through the intricate maze of real estate. Koenigsberg's passion for real estate ignited as a young boy going along with his father to survey construction sites and buildings. His father Milton, a successful financial planner and real estate investor would prove to be the catalyst for Koenigsberg's exhilaration for real estate. Graduating with a bachelor of science in Accounting from the Kogod School of business at American University, Koenigsberg set out to make his mark on New York's elite business world. In the late 1980s, he joined Arthur Anderson & Co., one of the country's most prestigious accounting firms. Koenigsberg excelled at the firm and gained invaluable insight on the economic aspect of real estate. His time at Arthur Anderson made him recognize that although he had a talent for comprehending numbers and figures, he sought after a position which would allow him to be more creative with his talents. The next leg of Koenigsberg's journey would take him to New York University's newly established Real Estate Institute. Koenigsberg was among the first to attend NYU's Real Estate Institute. Earning a master's degree in real estate development and investment from NYU improved his understanding of the complexity of commercial real estate. In the early 1990s, Chiyoda Life, the eighth largest life insurance company in Japan acknowledged Koenigsberg's ability to manage and oversee capital. Chiyoda hired Koenigsberg to lead their real estate acquisition department located in New York. Ron was entrusted with a $360 million a year budget. While working with top executives from Chase Bank, Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc., Eastdil Secured and Eastern Consolidated, Koenigsberg was exposed to the ideas of countless seasoned professionals. Throughout his endeavors, Koenigsberg maintained a humble notion, which he still adamantly adheres to. "There is something to be learned from every person you meet, that's why I never turn away from an opportunity to learn something new." Koenigsberg worked along side some of the most powerful names in the financial industry. With his newly gained expertise of the financial aspect of real estate acquisition, Koenigsberg was prepared for the next step. He was now prepared to immerse himself in what would turn out to be his ultimate dream, helping people like his father find the perfect piece of property to call their own. Koenigsberg is committed to doing whatever it takes to serve his clients. "I believe in doing whatever is hardest. I remember waking up one morning at 5 a.m. to go measure the size of a building. I literally got down on my hands and knees with a tape measure to make sure my client had the exact measurements." After brokering deals as senior vice president of a Long Island based commercial brokerage firm, Koenigsberg founded American Investment Properties, Inc. on July 4, 2001. Koenigsberg applied his principle of providing knowledgeable and exemplary service with unusual integrity to the formation of long term relationships with his clients. Located in the Citibank building at the historic Roosevelt Field shopping center, American Investment Properties offers its clients over a decade of commercial real estate expertise. The firm has participated in the sales of over $250 million in commercial property transactions in the Long Island area. "Since the beginning we decided to concentrate our efforts in the region for retail and office space properties, which has given us the experience to be more proficient and specialized in this type of real estate than many other brokers. These skills, paired with our strive for excellence and customer satisfaction, has characterized our company with repeat business and a wide variety of clientele. Utilizing these connections and the custom tailored research based on your search criteria gives us the edge to find the properties that best suit your needs." Koenigsberg's visionary ideas have helped some of Long Island's biggest names in real estate. Whether brokering a $1 or $25 million transaction, his unmatched intuition and skill has made him the first person to call for any real estate need. Recently, Koenigsberg brokered the sale of 330-350 Motor Parkway in Hauppuage, one of the largest office building complexes on Long Island. When asked about the deal, Craig Koenigsberg, the purchaser of the property said "Ron saw the deal through from start to finish every step of the way, and it was a comfort to me knowing that he was available to be reached day or night." Aside from brokering real estate transactions, Koenigsberg is involved in several multi-million dollar projects throughout the Northeast aimed at invigorating communities with state of the art real estate developments. Koenigsberg and his partners, Vincent and Michael Polimeni are developing The Winston, a $200 million project featuring 250 condominium units in Mineola. In Bricktown and Cape May, New Jersey, Ron co-owns several significant shopping centers featuring national tenants including Big Lots, McDonalds, Pier 1 Imports, and Wendy's. Undoubtedly, Koenigsberg has excelled in the field of real estate. "I'm glad I didn't pursue my other childhood dream of becoming a starting pitcher for the Mets. I'd probably be featured as disappointment of the month in the sports section of the Post." Although Koenigsberg didn't pursue a sports career, he is a dedicated Jets fan. Experience and talent have made Koenigsberg the person to track as his plans for the future surpass his remarkable accomplishments. American Investment Properties is the fastest growing brokerage firm on Long Island. "I couldn't have done it without my staff. As Donald Trump said, I'd rather have a smart staff rather than an experienced one. That's exactly what I believe. I couldn't pick a better staff."
