Family-Owned And Operated Since 1957
Abramson Brothers was co-founded in 1957 by brothers Manville H. Abramson and Junius P. Abramson. They incorporated their conservative mindset in the company’s philosophy, growing the business by acquiring multi-tenanted, core midtown Manhattan properties with minimal leverage and then managing them with hands on, meticulous attention to the smallest of details. Since its founding, Abramson has adhered to this fundamental strategy and its properties have consistently generated profits throughout all subsequent economic cycles.
Abramson has developed niche expertise serving small- and mid-sized professional services firms. From technology firms and law offices occupying full floors to premier physicians and physical therapists to renowned aestheticians and diamond traders, among others, in spaces ranging from 500 to 10,000 square feet, the firm’s buildings cater to small- and mid-sized tenants, many with specialized space requirements.
With all properties controlled and managed by Abramson, tenants are assured of the highest quality, prompt attention to all matters affecting their tenancy. From leasing and specialized buildouts to ongoing maintenance and rapid response to unexpected events, Abramson’s experienced team of attorneys, accountants, architects, and other professionals deliver attention to detail that tenants can count on 24/7/365.

A Personal Approach
To Service
Access to Ownership
A family-owned and operated real estate investment, management, and brokerage firm since 1957, Abramson has built a reputation for excellence and responsiveness one tenant at a time for decades. The principals of the firm are directly involved on a day-to-day basis from initial introduction and move-in throughout tenancy. As a result, Abramson enjoys a very high renewal rate and finds that many tenants grow with them as their needs change over time.
An Enterpreneural Mindset
Attention to Detail
Abramson has over six decades of experience owning and operating commercial properties in Manhattan. One secret to the firm’s success is continually preserving the quality of its properties and finding ways to enhance the experience of the tenants who operate their businesses within them. Our strong relationships with contractors, vendors, and suppliers help us achieve these goals.
Small Is Beautiful

Custom Buildouts
Designed for Your Unique Needs

Abramson’s reputation for excellence in property management is matched by our reputation among the brokerage community for speed and fairness of commission payments. We value the role that brokers play in bringing new tenants to our buildings and it is our pleasure to pay 100% of commission at lease execution.
Investing In The Next Generation
With an eye to the future, Abramson Brothers engages in efforts to source new acquisitions that fit with its investment philosophy. Specifically, the firm primarily seeks to expand its portfolio by acquiring small to mid-sized boutique office buildings in prime Manhattan business districts with the potential to deliver outsize returns, either by implementing its office strategy or, in some cases, converting to residential. On a case-by-case basis, in addition to investing its own capital, Abramson may raise additional capital for acquisitions from equity partners. It is important that partners share the firm’s investment philosophy and focus on preservation of capital combined with an enhancement of building quality.
