Cushman & Wakefield acquires NAI Long Island

Melville, NY According to Cushman & Wakefield, it has acquired the brokerage division of NAI Long Island, adding 16 new commercial leasing and investment sales professionals focused on this part of the New York-Tri-State Region.

“Our team at NAI Long Island is ecstatic to be joining Cushman & Wakefield,” said Carmine Inserra, founder and principal of NAI Long Island. “This acquisition was made possible because of the strong cultural fit of our two companies. By coming together with the Cushman & Wakefield brand and platform we will be able to greatly enhance the service we provide to our clients throughout Long Island and across the globe.”
