About Breslin Realty

Breslin Realty has grown from a small brokerage office to a multi-faceted, experienced real estate firm. The company has developed in excess of thirty retail centers and currently manages over eight million square feet of commercial real estate in five different states.
Breslin is committed to maximizing the potential profitability of any given property while generating significant capital appreciation. Paired with the company’s respected reputation among major retailers, this commitment has been the foundation of our success and the reason why Breslin is one of the premier shopping center developers on Long Island and the tri-state area.
Breslin Realty’s diverse experience and knowledge of all areas of real estate help turn clients’ vision into reality.
Breslin Realty has widespread experience in tenant relations, negotiations, landlord representation, land planning and development, real estate appraising, property management, construction and creative financing. With extensive knowledge of the New York tri-state area and consumer purchasing habits, the company offers expert retail leasing services, providing specialist brokers for a variety of national retailers.
“I was recently asked by a journalist what percentage of national retailers I had introduced to Long Island over a twenty five year period. My guess was around fifty percent. He called me back two weeks later. I was surprised to hear that the figure was actually closer to eighty percent. That’s something I’m very proud of.” Wilbur F. Breslin.
