ABOUT SPACEFINDERNYC
SpacefinderNYC is the marketing website of Robert "Bob" Egan, Senior Director of Retail Leasing at The Jansizian Group, Ltd., a real estate company, in New York City.
Mr. Egan's specialty is retail store leasing.
Bob developed The SpacefinderNYC website in order to illustrate, in addition to sites offered by the big leasing companies, the vast number of retail spaces available in New York City that are "off the radar" -- those sites listed by property owners, often with just a sign in their window, and usually not advertised on the web or in papers.
In addition, Bob and his colleagues scour the internet for listings of stores that are available for rent, but that do not have signs in their windows for one reason or the other. This way they cover the full spectrum of available retail spaces in Manhattan.
Before working in commercial real estate, Bob was a writer and researcher. He has written several non-fiction books, including The Bookstore Book (the first guide to New York City bookstores) and From Here to Fraternity (about college fraternities), was a paperback book editor at the Pocket Books division of Simon & Schuster, a photo researcher for a major book packager, and worked as a copywriter at an award-winning interactive Web design firm.
He also was President of the Board of Directors of a 45-unit Fifth Avenue Co-op in Manhattan for ten years.
A longtime New Yorker, Bob lived for 25 years in Soho and Greenwich Village, moved to Larchmont for ten years, and now is back living on the Upper West Side. Bob's Louise teaches English to foreign business executives and their families in Manhattan. Her website can be viewed
