Platinum Properties looks to expand

From the December issue: Five years after starting as a four-person residential rental firm in New York, Platinum Properties has announced its latest expansion: opening offices in Miami and Los Angeles early next year. “We have a lot of our clients [who] own properties in both those locations,” Khashy Eyn, Platinum’s CEO and president, said, adding that Platinum will consider “buy[ing] a firm that’s already started and changing the name.” Platinum has not picked locations for its offices yet, but Eyn said the firm is targeting luxury strongholds in each city. Miami’s South of Fifth neighborhood and locations near Beverly Hills are on his wish list. [more]
