Rhys, which launched less than six months ago under the direction of president and CEO Cory Gubner, is now the exclusive agent for the 106,426-square-foot Elmsford Executive Park off of Route 9, the 1 Corporate Center building at 401 Theodore Fremd Avenue in Rye and the 75,000-square-foot office building at 99 Business Park Drive in Armonk.

From the February issue: While many commercial real estate firms have consolidated because of
the downturn, Rhys Commercial, a small commercial brokerage in
Stamford, is expanding.
The 20-person firm is opening an outpost in Manhattan in the next
two months, according to Cory Gubner, the company’s president and CEO.
It is also planning to open a New Jersey location toward the end of the
year.
These plans come on the heels of an auspicious beginning for the
firm: Rhys has signed 90 exclusive listings in its first four months.
Gubner said that while he isn’t trying to mimic the major New York City
firms, he is making sure that his company remains competitive in the
downturn. [more]
