Alex Bensahel
Born in France, raised in the US and educated in Switzerland, Alex began his real estate career in Beijing, China, where he assisted in the development of four hotels being built in Beijing and Shanghai. Two years later, Alex moved to California to gain knowledge in the tenant rep leasing space working for a well-known boutique tenant rep firm based in Newport Beach. During his tenure with the principal, he assisted in tenanting close to 1.2 million square feet of retail and restaurant space within an 18-month time span. Soon after, he moved on to where he gained an extensive amount of knowledge and experience working for Marcus and Millichap in Los Angeles, which spotlighted his abilities as a broker.
When he began looking to relocate East, Alex met up with Marc Tropp and David Merkin of Eastern Union and ultimately took the helm of Eastern’s Investment Sales platform, allowing the team to further expand their focus in client services.
Alex has originated a large number of deals from smaller multifamily apartment buildings to large scale ground up development projects throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Through his knowledge and experience in the finance sector, he packages proper underwriting models and pro-forma for his clients to secure the deals closure in a short amount of time. Alex’s core values represent high end client service to new and old clients. His core vision for the brand is to under-promise and over deliver.
