Joshua Winslow - winslow@findnycoffice.com - More Info "When people come looking for space, one of us knows that industry," says Joshua Winslow, founder of Winslow & Co. And that explains how Winslow & Co. does business. "I built my organization by finding people with real world backgrounds," he says. "One of my brokers is an architect. Others come from finance, media, restaurant management. I myself have a degree in mechanical engineering." Tech tenants saved hundreds of thousands of dollars when Winslow & Co. uncovered secure locations that already met large, sensitive equipment specs. No renovation required! In other cases law firms were put in midtown, fashion and retail in the garment center, even a former governor chose Winslow & Co. to find the right consulting location. Joshua insures his brokers prove themselves by knowing a client's profession so well they can analyze space with an eye on what it takes to succeed in that profession. "We don't push quick deals," says Joshua. "We have long term relationships. Because when the location works, word gets around." Just ask and dozens of Winslow & Co. clients will tell you the same thing.

Greg Bonura - gbonura@findnycoffice.com - More Info Clients report that Greg Bonura's passions and detailed work ethic go hand in hand. He spent six months on a search for a prominent designer and restaurateur. The client's conclusion: "The space of my dreams!" "People tell me they like my energy and due diligence," observes Greg. A U.K.-based wireless entertainment firm asked him to search for its first office space in the U.S. Greg worked as hard on that first 1-year deal as he does on his 10-year deals. Later on, the firm came back for a new 3-year lease when it needed a bigger space. Another client described going through three brokers before meeting Greg and never had the service and attention they got from him. "If you call people back, do what you say you'll do, they tend to stick with you," he says. Because to Greg, an avid surfer and fashion industry veteran, all deals are important.

Nick Griffin - ngriffin@findnycoffice.com - More Info When a major European bank needed its first offices in the U.S., Winslow & Co.'s Nick Griffin kept one word in mind. "Trust," says Nick "was the key to this search. The client was traveling the world on other business, didn’t know New York, but knew I was available no matter what time zone they were in." The bank’s trust in Nick paid off when he found 10,000 sq. ft on 6th Avenue with views of Central Park. And when a growing financial services firm needed high profile retail space, Nick took it upon himself to research foot traffic and demographics near a spot the client hadn’t considered. Nick’s calculation was right. The client shared his vision, and now thrives at a 5th Avenue location where no national brand ventured before. "I have clients, not customers," says Nick, who holds an MBA. "I don’t sell them anything, rather I’m their advocate. That’s the key to success."

Mike Stock - mikestock@findnycoffice.com - More Info "In the end," observes Winslow & Co.'s Michael Stock, "the tenant-broker model must focus on long term relationships, not snagging a deal." For Stock, that was especially clear when a U.K.-based consulting firm asked him for help. "The satellite office had to coordinate with the parent company, which had different ideas. After understanding the company culture I realized time was needed to develop relationships with both. Without that, any deal could have left one of them unhappy." Combining guidance with patience, Stock took the firm from Soho to Union Square to finally settle in midtown. He even helped secure the furniture they needed. "We get calls from all over the country for tips on expanding here," says Stock, a 3rd-generation Manhattanite. "Success in New York is sweeter than any place else." That's true of most businesses here and especially true of the client experience with brokers like Michael at Winslow & Co.
