NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Charney Companies is growing both its leadership and footprint with key hires and an expanded office, with its development, management, and brokerage sectors all scaling up. Based in Long Island City, the firm's quarters are now a duplex, reaching 10,000 square feet total as its impact on New York City's landscape grows, with over two-and-a-half-million-square feet currently in development.
