Tzaidi appointed partner and principal at EPIC Commercial Realty

Manhattan, NY Real estate professional Ido Tzaidi has been named partner and principal of EPIC Commercial Realty (EPIC). In his new role, Tzaidi will spearhead the borough’s division and build upon the firm’s success alongside CEO and Founder Yona Edelkopf.

With more than 10 years of managerial experience, Tzaidi served as a senior associate broker at EPIC before this promotion.

Tzaidi accomplished numerous achievements early in his career as a broker including successfully closing a multimillion dollar transaction within his second month in the industry. He also closed a full block assembly on the Upper East Side – for over $100 million during his second year.

“I am honored to lead the team alongside Edelkopf – someone I tremendously respect – to bolster EPIC’s position in the New York market,” Tzaidi said. “I look forward to leading our team’s expansion and success in 2017.”

The appointment follows a record-breaking year for Manhattan-based EPIC, with more than 100 closed transactions totaling more than $350 million in gross sales. A prominent leader in the New York City commercial real estate industry, EPIC focuses on mid-market development and investments sales throughout the boroughs, with a strong emphasis in Manhattan and Brooklyn. EPIC has increased its sales revenue by 30 percent year-over-year for the past three consecutive years, the majority of which were conducted off-market.

“Last year proved to be a very successful year for EPIC, and we’re thrilled to kick off the new year with a strong pipeline of new business under Tzaidi’s shared leadership,” Edelkopf stated. “Because of his extensive background, we felt he has the breadth of experience and knowledge needed to fulfill this important role in order to expand our Manhattan division.”

Tzaidi received his Bachelor of the Arts degree in economics and finance, specializing in finance and investment management, from Ben-Gurion University in Israel.
