Marc Kotler Takes Charge as President of FirstService Residential New York

FirstService Residential, the North American leader in residential property management, recently announced that Marc Kotler has been promoted to the role of President for its New York City operations. This significant promotion comes as the company looks to build on its already robust foundation in one of the most competitive property markets in the world.

With over 30 years of extensive experience in property management, Kotler joined FirstService Residential in 2004. Throughout his tenure, he has held multiple leadership positions, showcasing a proven track record in driving growth and delivering exceptional service. Most notably, Kotler served as the president of the New Development Group for New York, where his leadership transformed the division into one of the city's leading consultants and managers for luxury high-rises, cooperatives, condominiums, as well as multifamily developers and institutional investors.

In his new position, Kotler will oversee a diverse portfolio that encompasses luxury high-rises, cooperatives, rental multifamily buildings, and amenity-rich condominiums scattered across the iconic boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, The Bronx, Long Island, and Westchester County. His immediate objectives will focus on leveraging FirstService Residential’s extensive resources and local talent to not only manage these properties efficiently but also enhance the living experience for residents and stakeholders alike.

As John Brea, president of the North Region at FirstService Residential, stated, "Marc's comprehensive knowledge of property management and proven leadership make him the ideal fit to lead our New York City operations. His dedication to service excellence and deep understanding of the market will help drive continued growth while elevating the client experience in New York."

Under Kotler’s stewardship, FirstService Residential aims to innovate its offerings in New York City. He has previously been responsible for the management of several landmark properties, including The Plaza, 432 Park Avenue, The Baccarat, 8 Spruce Street (NY by Gehry), and more recent developments such as 277 Fifth Avenue, One Wall Street, 53 West 53rd, and 520 Fifth Avenue. These experiences position him uniquely to tackle the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this vibrant market.

Kotler expressed enthusiasm about this new chapter, saying, "I am honored to take on this role and lead our New York City team. My commitment is to utilize our unmatched local talent and expertise to deliver superior service that consistently exceeds the expectations of our clients and residents."

FirstService Residential stands out for its customer-centric approach and its dedication to enhancing property value while simplifying property management for home owners and boards. With a service-first philosophy, the company partners with clients to deliver tailored lifestyle programs, ensuring 24/7 customer care and a strategic focus on understanding each community's unique needs.

As FirstService Residential continues to evolve and adapt to the changing landscape of property management, Kotler's ascension marks a pivotal moment.
