Kole Harbor is a boutique team at Compass, rooted in the Financial District and just steps from the cobblestone streets of historic South Street Seaport, once home to one of New York City’s most vibrant harbors. Much like the Seaport, we’ve been part of this community for over a decade, building a legacy of trust, energy, and results.
Our Expertise
With thousands of successful transactions across Downtown Manhattan and beyond, Kole Harbor specializes in comprehensive leasing management for multifamily buildings.
We partner with owners to drive long-term revenue growth while reducing operating costs through a streamlined, in-house model. Unlike leasing teams brought in only for the initial lease-up of new developments, Kole Harbor focuses on sustainable, cost-efficient leasing management that continues well beyond stabilization. Our approach is built as a long-term plug-and-grow solution, giving owners a consistent partner who can scale with the building year after year.
• Efficient Operations: We manage leasing remotely from our office, eliminating unnecessary on-site overhead.
• Cost Savings: All marketing assets are produced in-house, including sales-grade photography, floorplans, 3D furniture renderings, drone photography for terraces and rooftops, magazines featuring the building for lounge areas and other professional marketing materials, saving owners from costly third-party vendors.
• Dedicated Leasing Team: Our full-time agents are always available for showings and walk-ins, ensuring faster absorption and fewer days on market.
• Marketing & Lease Management: We cover all marketing expenses, including StreetEasy listings and initial premium advertising placements, so owners never see those bills. From marketing creation to application processing, lease signings, and tenant leasing communications, Kole Harbor provides a full-service leasing solution that maximizes value while removing the burden from ownership.
• Long-Term Value: Unlike leasing teams brought in solely for initial lease-ups on new developments, we offer a more cost-effective, long-term partnership. Our “plug-and-grow” model scales with each building, delivering sustainable leasing performance year after year.
Our Vision
At Kole Harbor, we bring a harbor’s spirit of connection and movement into real estate. We’re committed to guiding clients with clarity, creativity, and a results-driven approach, while leveraging Compass’ industry-leading technology and nationwide reach.
