Biography
Peter L. Braus, Managing Principal,
Peter has been involved in the ownership and brokerage of real estate for fifteen years. He joined Lee & Associates NYC (formerly Sierra Realty) in 2001, and was made a partner in 2006. Prior to Sierra and Lee, he worked as a retail leasing broker for New Spectrum Realty Services and Newmark & Co. Real Estate.
Peter has been involved in wide variety of brokerage transactions. Some of the business he is currently working on includes:
• Representing ownership of the former Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in a potential 200,000-300,000 SF lease with the Guggenheim Museum.
• Consulting with the developer of a 300,000 SF pier redevelopment project (“Pier 57”) located in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District to bring restaurants, food and other retail tenants to the project.
• Actively representing numerous top New York restaurant owners in their expansions.

• Representing ownership of a roughly 45,000 SF commercial building in the Financial District of Manhattan which will likely be leased to a major educational institution at an annual base rental of roughly $1.5 million for a 20-year term.
In addition to these assignments, Peter represents M&T Bank (Manhattan retail locations), Sprinkles Cupcakes of Beverly Hills and numerous other tenants. He has also represented such landlords as the Battery Park City Authority, Gotham, Goldman Sachs & Company, C&K Properties and the ownership of Brown Harris Stevens.

In 15 years in the real estate business, he has completed in excess of 500 commercial leasing transactions with an aggregate value of well over $250 million.
