In his new role, Braus will continue the firm&#8217;s work to position itself as a key middle-market commercial brokerage in the city, Lee &amp; Associates said. Braus is succeeding James Wacht, who will step down as president and continue to serve as a managing principal and member of the firm\u2019s executive team, the brokerage said. Braus, who co-founded Lee &amp; Associates NYC in 2011, has more than 25 years of real estate ownership and brokerage experience.<\/p>\n<p>Lee &amp; Associates said Braus played a critical role in several high-profile transactions, including the sale of the Banking Hall at 108 Leonard St. to Jack Shainman Gallery and the 30,000-square-foot lease of commissary space to Union Square Hospitality at Terminal Warehouse. He also helped secure City Winery\u2019s 32,000-square-foot flagship location at Pier 57 in a transaction that was recognized as the Real Estate Board of New York\u2019s 2020 Retail Deal of the Year. In addition to appointing Braus as president, Lee &amp; Associates NYC recently hired\u00a0<b>Todd Korren<\/b>\u00a0as a principal and executive managing director and director of leasing. In his role, Korren leads the day-to-day brokerage operation and recruitment, development and management of agents and staff, Lee said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/product.costar.com\/home\/news\/shared\/559942760?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=people&amp;utm_content=p1&amp;t=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJjb250YWN0SWQiOiIxODc0NjM2MjEiLCJjdWx0dXJlQ29kZSI6ImVuLVVTIiwiaWF0IjoxNzE2MzE4NTgyfQ.jiNkkMdSIqbSi_EEKFdHn3R7tD3sjHPqUoj6_3smQ58\">Read on CoStar<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Brokerage Lee &amp; Associates has appointed\u00a0Peter Braus, who most recently served as a managing director, as president of its New York City operation.
