he was just 16 years old, painting and repairing
family rental properties. After earning a degree in
real estate and finance from Ohio State University
he managed over 3,000 multifamily housing
units in Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx at the
age of 22. Later, at age 28, he started his career
as an industrial broker and served as senior vice
president for the Sutton & Edwards commercial real estate brokerage and management firm.
In 1990, Cohen founded his own firm, Ashlind Properties, named after his daughters Ashley and
Lindsey. Today, Cohen is the president of Ashlind Properties, specializing in all types of commercial

Meadowbrook Distributing Corporation, Elm Freight Handlers, American Tissue Corp. and others.
Cohen has continued to close at least 1 million square feet of deals each year.

Cohen is known for his tenacity, diligence, creativity, and forthright communication style. He
says this combination of attributes allows him to stand out among his peers, by knowing how to
successfully bring buyers and sellers, tenants, and landlords to a satisfactory meeting of the minds.
Cohen says “I have always been a hard worker, but what I have endeavored to put across to my
customers now and then is that their interests have always come fi rst and before my own. This is never going to change.
