Meet Our Brokers
Michael Greene
Michael Greene’s expertise in commercial real estate is both deep and diverse. His early career saw him managing significant assets for the New York City Economic Development Corporation, where he oversaw a portfolio of waterfront properties generating over $50 million annually.
Upon returning to Syracuse, Michael’s impact on the local commercial real estate scene was transformative. As the property manager for a one million sq ft commercial office portfolio, he spearheaded construction projects worth over $5.5 million in tenant build-outs. These initiatives played a pivotal role in boosting occupancy rates from 75% to 87%. Additionally, his leadership in managing $4 million in capital projects, from roof upgrades to lobby renovations, resulted in a remarkable 103% projected IRR for investors.

In January of 2009 Chuck along with Courtney Wilson launched CBD Companies which includes a Construction, Brokerage and Development Company.
