Platinum opens Midtown West branch

Platinum’s Jared Wiener and the brokerage’s new branch at the Hippodrome

Brokerage Platinum Properties has opened its fourth office — and its second new location within a two-month span — in Midtown West, the company announced today. Broker Jared Wiener, who has joined the firm as its new director of sales and leasing, will co-manage the new branch with Jeffrey Carlson, an executive vice president at Platinum. Platinum, which debuted in 2005 with its flagship Wall Street office, said its Midtown West location, at the Hippodrome building at 1120 Sixth Avenue, came in response to increasing inventory in the neighborhood and will start with a team of around a dozen agents. The company opened a Midtown East branch roughly two months ago. TRD
