Our Team

Benjamin Blumenthal has been negotiating Midtown Manhattan office leases since 2012.
In 2017, he founded Noah & Co. and to date, he has advised on more than 250 transactions, totaling over $544 million, primarily in Midtown.

That concentration matters. A broker who works one market for over a decade builds a different kind of knowledge than one who covers multiple markets or asset types. Benjamin knows which landlords are running tight on capital right now, which buildings have been sitting long enough to create real tenant leverage, and what the gap is between asking terms and deal terms at specific buildings in specific submarkets.

That information is not in any public database. It comes from deal volume.

What He Focuses On

Benjamin's practice is tenant representation for Midtown office tenants. The full range: relocations, renewals, right-sizing, subleasing, early termination, blend-and-extend. Every engagement type that a Midtown tenant faces over the life of a lease.

A significant portion of his work is with organizations that have specific technical requirements beyond standard office leasing - medical and clinical users, nonprofits navigating board approval structures, financial services firms with security and infrastructure requirements. These engagements require more than market knowledge. They require familiarity with how landlords evaluate and accommodate non-standard tenants, and which buildings can actually deliver what these tenants need.

He also advises ownership groups and investors on portfolio positioning, asset strategy, and market feasibility - work that deepens his read on market dynamics across both sides of the table.

His Background

Benjamin started at Norman Bobrow & Co. in 2012, where he built his market foundation and was consistently recognized as a top-performing agent. He launched Noah & Co. in 2017 with a specific structural thesis: a focused, team-based brokerage built around a single market could provide a quality of representation that generalist firms - competing across multiple markets and asset types - structurally cannot.

He is a graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program, a founding member of the Yeshiva University Real Estate Executive Committee, and a member of the State of Israel Bonds Young Leadership Cabinet.

How He Works

Benjamin leads every engagement personally. Not as the relationship holder who hands off execution - as the person who reads the market, runs the negotiation, and stays in it through close. For clients with complex requirements or high-stakes decisions, that continuity is what produces outcomes that are materially different from the market default.

 "Benjamin's attention to detail and willingness to offer assistance at all points simplified the process and allowed us to focus on our core business needs."
- Noah & Co. client 

Rachel joined Noah & Co. in late 2023 and works with tenants on office leasing strategy, representing clients in relocations, lease renewals, and sublease transactions. She has worked with a diverse range of clients across Midtown Manhattan, Downtown Manhattan, SoHo, and Union Square, with particular focus in representing nonprofit organizations and helping them identify office solutions that align with their operational and financial goals.

Rachel has successfully guided growing companies through office relocations and expansions, while also helping clients reduce occupancy costs through strategic lease restructurings, renewals, and subleases. Her experience spans the full lifecycle of a transaction, from market analysis and site selection to lease negotiation and execution.

In addition to her tenant representation work, Rachel advises ownership groups and serves on landlord representation assignments for several office properties in the Union Square submarket. Rachel graduated Magna Cum Laude from Adelphi University in 2024 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and is licensed as a New York State Real Estate Salesperson.

Feedback from recent clients:

"We worked with Noah & Co's Rachel Fox during our recent Midtown office search, and overall, the experience was a very positive one. Rachel was particularly strong in a few key areas that mattered to us: understanding our operational requirements upfront, filtering the market efficiently, and navigating the practical realities of Midtown inventory rather than simply showing what looked good on paper."

"They were especially helpful in pressure-testing layouts, building infrastructure, and lease terms as the process narrowed. That kind of pragmatism saved time and helped us avoid a few attractive but ultimately unsuitable options."

"As with any search, there were moments where the market itself imposed constraints rather than the broker, but Noah & Co. were candid about trade-offs and adjusted quickly as our priorities evolved. If I had to pick one thing to emphasize, it’s that they functioned more like advisors than tour guides, which we valued. "

Moshe joined the Noah & Co. team in 2024 as part of the Business Development Representative program, and quickly moved into an Account Executive position. Growing up just a short train ride from Midtown Manhattan, Moshe has always been inspired by the unparalleled energy and vibrancy of the city.
