Executive Profile
David E. Ash founded Prince Realty Advisors (PRA) in 2010, bringing a fresh, innovative approach to real estate investment advisory. A graduate of the NYU Stern School of Business, David began his career as an Office & Retail Leasing Specialist at The Kaufman Organization, where he earned the distinction of top producer each of his four years at the firm.
In founding PRA, David pioneered a distinct business model, acting as a "matchmaker" to connect institutional investors in buying, selling, and creatively structuring commercial real estate transactions across all asset classes. This straightforward, relationship-driven approach has been highly successful, resulting in over $6.5 billion in sales transactions since PRA’s inception. David’s work has included many large institutional assets, rivaling the achievements of perennial top firms in the industry.
David’s esteemed client base includes companies such as Blackstone Group, UBS, Equity Residential, EXTELL Development Company, Kushner Companies, Meadow Partners, Goldman Sachs, Westbrook Partners, Vornado Realty Trust, and Inditex Apparel Group (ZARA U.S.), among others.
Recognized as one of New York’s top real estate professionals, David has been honored as one of the Top Ten Power Brokers in New York and nominated twice for REBNY's Most Ingenious Deal of the Year Award (2014 & 2015).
