Ted Weiss - Commercial Real Estate Showcase

T. Weiss Realty (TWR) has been a name synonymous with quality commercial property for over 30 years. Ted Weiss founded the company in 1969 and has since concentrated on the conversion of light industrial properties into Class A office space. Since the company's inception, Ted has focused on providing TWR tenants with not only high quality office space, but also numerous value-added services that support the success and growth of their businesses.

Ted strives to keep the company on the forefront of office technology. TWR buildings are some of the first in the region to be completely outfitted with the latest in telecommunications wiring and are among the leaders in providing workplace WiFi accessibility. Ted has also implemented the philosophy of servicing both the corporations that sign the lease and the employees that use the facility. Ted has incorporated numerous "stress free" areas in TWR buildings, such as meditation gardens, fitness facilities and corporate break rooms. Today, TWR has achieved one of the area's highest rates of tenant retention.

Consistent with TWR's pledge to fulfill its tenants' every need, Ted established TOTUS Office Solutions and Conference and Meeting Centers of Long Island in 2001. Both companies have achieved a significant presence in the Melville and Hauppauge business districts.

In 2003, Ted initiated the development of the Melville Executive Forum in an effort to attract and retain young, educated professionals to the Melville and greater Long Island area. Ted brought together area business, government, non-profit and education leaders to help achieve this goal. Currently, the forum is working on numerous projects, including the development of internship programs, leisure sports leagues and networking functions geared toward young professionals.

Ted's commitment to the Long Island business community also includes memberships with the Long Island Association, Huntington Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Commercial Real Estate and Commercial Industrial Brokers Society. Ted also serves on the Route 110 Redevelopment Corp., a group affiliated with the Towns of Huntington and Babylon and commissioned to take measure of the economic well being of this key business corridor.

Dedicated to the betterment of Long Island, Ted's energies extend beyond TWR's professional associations.
