New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 08/01/2014 --Cogent Realty Advisors released a new report detailing the latest developments in Manhattan's commercial real estate leasing industry.

"Our latest report on the evolution of the Manhattan commercial office leasing scene includes some eye-opening developments," Cogent Realty Advisors representative Mitch Waldman stated, "and we're sure that it will make worthwhile reading for anybody who is interested in real estate in Manhattan." Drawing from statistics compiled by the Costar Group and other reliable sources, Cogent's just-released analysis paints a picture of a market that continues to heat up, even after results from previous years led some observers to postulate that a slowdown was in the offing. Cogent Realty Advisors' new report includes breakouts of the Downtown, Midtown, Midtown South, and Uptown markets, as well as in-depth looks at the many smaller sub-markets that make up each of these.

In addition to providing research and informational resources like the company's new report, Cogent Realty Advisors also works hard to develop individualized strategies aimed at satisfying the needs of each of the company's clients.
