Arch Brokerage is a full service real estate brokerage firm affiliated with Washington Square Partners. Arch primarily serves retail and office clients in finding spaces that suit their needs. What differentiates Arch from larger brokerages is that we accept a select number of assignments each year and are therefore able to focus our attention on achieving the best result for each individual client. Our fiduciary responsibility is clearly defined as we represent tenants and do not manage buildings.

Laurence Roberts serves as lead principal and personally manages each assignment in a hands-on manner. This extends to personally advising clients on all financial and operational aspects of sales, new lease acquisitions, lease terminations, lease recaptures, assignments, subleases, buy-outs and renewals. Our affiliation with Washington Square Partners allows us to offer a full range of financial and market analysis for clients.

For retail assignments, we meet with each client to understand its culture and expansion plans. We then develop a profile of the target consumer and compile a list of ideal markets. Our in-house market research department utilizes up to the minute demographic and financial research. We help clients create a financial model to forecast sales, contributions and return on investment.

Marketing programs are designed to guarantee maximum appropriate exposure for properties. Up to date marketing information ensures achieving the highest possible selling price. Knowledge of buildings' operations, sales achieved in comparable buildings in the neighborhood, assessments and sub markets help in arriving at a property's value.

Arch works with its clients on a case-by-case basis. We are experienced in negotiating complex deals on behalf of our clients.
