About Adelaide

For renowned industry expert Adelaide Polsinelli, real estate isn't a job, it's a way of life. With that passionate attitude and a deep well of talent, she's been breaking records and shaping industry trends throughout her more than 30 years in the business. She has an impeccable decades-long track record of consistently selling real estate backed by extensive market knowledge, experience, and a solid reputation of commitment to her customers.

Adelaide sold over 1,800 properties valued at over $40 billion in every asset class, including multifamily, retail, office, , unsold shares, retail condos, partnership interests, loans, note sales, hotels, air rights, inclusionary rights, assemblages, developments, garages, SROs, IMDs, co-ops, and condo sales.

In addition to selling and advising on all real estate asset classes, Ms. Polsinelli previously headed the Retail Sales Division at Eastern Consolidated, where she led the firm's brokerage, advisory, financial structuring, and marketing services for the sale of all retail-driven deals from retail condominiums, office buildings, taxpayers, shopping centers, mixed-use residential buildings, and hotels, to high street retail properties. Through her leadership, she was instrumental in classifying retail condos as a new real estate asset class, the urban equivalent to triple-net-leased properties.

Adelaide's mission of treating each deal not as a commodity but as a creation, allowed her to achieve record breaking prices for notable deals such as; The $101,000,000 sale of the Jewelry Building on 5th Avenue in the heart of midtown Manhattan, The $107,000,000 Lee Portfolio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, The TGI Friday's flagship at 604 5th Avenue for $45,000,000, The Hotel Verite at 893 Broadway, The Sutton Place 280,000 square foot development, SoHo's "The King of Greene" building at 72-76 Greene Street; 530 Lincoln Road and the "Diesel/ Dash" Retail Center in the heart of South Beach; The Hit Factory at 421 West 54th Street; 711 Madison Avenue "The Roberto Cavalli Building; The "Children's Wear" office building in Midtown; The Marriott Courtyard Hotel site by the New Freedom Tower, The "Stefano Ricci" retail flagship on Park Avenue; The famed "Knitting Factory" building in TriBeCa; The Promenade a 350 unit Mitchell Lama Building; The "Le Figaro Café" building on Bleecker Street; The "Interior Design Building" in Midtown East; The "Dylan Hotel" on 41st Street; a nine-building package in Chelsea; four prominent Upper West Side hotels; and the "Eastbridge Landing" development site at First Avenue.

She is also well established as the go-to broker for lenders, having sold portfolios of notes, loans, and REO's.

She is regularly called upon as a well-regarded co-op and condo expert, known for uncovering value for co-op and condos by methodically structuring the various components of their real estate to generate optimum value. She created assemblages using inclusionary air rights and buying air rights from co-ops and condos, as well as unfolding entire co-ops and reorganizing the retail leases resulting in unexpected windfalls.
