MIAMI, FL - GAIA Real Estate, a leading full-service real estate investment firm, has moved its national headquarters to Miami from New York. GAIA opened its first Miami office at the start of 2025 and has now signed an additional lease at the space to expand as the firm grows through new hires in the market. After 16 years of being based primarily in New York, the firm will continue to maintain its presence at Carnegie Hall Tower on West 57th Street.
The move aligns with GAIA’s investment growth strategy, which is focused primarily on opportunities in South Florida and the Sun Belt, including the firm’s joint venture with Moderno—focusing on single-family investment in Miami—and its fully discretionary REIT focused on multifamily rentals in the Sun Belt and South Florida, among other plans in the region in the near term.
GAIA Real Estate currently employs 35 team members in its corporation, as well as 150 people indirectly on its property sites. While GAIA is increasing personnel in the Miami market and has already begun hiring, New York team members are also choosing to relocate to the new headquarters as well.
“After nearly two decades of incredible work and growth in New York, we’re excited to begin our next chapter in Miami,” said Danny Fishman, CEO and Cofounder, GAIA Real Estate. “This move positions us closer to our key markets, provides our team with access to an exceptional talent pool, and places us in an exciting community that reflects our energy and ambition for the future. While New York will remain a crucial part of our story, Miami offers the right momentum for the next stage of GAIA’s evolution.”
Since its inception, GAIA Real Estate has built a strong record of accomplishment in real estate investment, acquiring more than 20,000 residential units and managing approximately $4 billion in assets. GAIA’s investment strategy utilizes low leverage in periods of high interest rates, a tactic that has repeatedly proven successful.
