Our Team

Nick Dionisiou is a seasoned commercial real estate advisor, investor, and third-generation landlord with over 20 years of experience managing, repositioning, and advising on multifamily, mixed-use, retail, and industrial assets across New York City. As a member of the Compass Commercial team, Nick brings a rare combination of hands-on ownership experience, disciplined investment strategy, and proven brokerage expertise to property owners, operators, and developers.

Nick’s real estate foundation was formed in his family office in Astoria, Queens, where he began learning the business at an early age. He gained firsthand exposure to the complexities of multifamily ownership through weekly site visits, walking buildings with family mentors, overseeing apartment renovations, coordinating directly with contractors, and negotiating leases with tenants. By his early twenties, Nick was already familiar with the dynamics of the closing table, transaction structuring, and long-term asset strategy.

This upbringing provided Nick with an instinctive understanding of property operations and investment risk—an intuition that cannot be quantified on paper. His value lies in the lived experience of managing buildings from the ground up, combined with the technical expertise required in today’s market.

Over the course of his real estate career, Nick has facilitated more than 100 commercial transactions across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. While his background spans multiple asset classes, since becoming licensed in 2020 he has developed a substantial practice in the industrial sector, including warehouse sales, industrial leasing, logistics facilities, and last-mile repositioning opportunities. His industrial advisory work has grown to become a major pillar of his business, driven by market demand, shifting tenant needs, and his own investment-oriented perspective.

Nick has also spearheaded numerous value-add and portfolio-level initiatives, including:

• Rehabilitation & Value-Add Sale of an 8-Unit Multifamily Property in the Bronx: Executed a full repositioning strategy, increased rent roll through targeted renovations and operational improvements, and delivered a 50% ROI within 24 months.
• Gut Renovation of a Two-Family Townhouse in Greenwood Heights, Brooklyn: Managed a complete redevelopment near Industry City and sold within 18 months for a strong profit.Restructuring of a $20M Multifamily Portfolio Across Manhattan & Queens: Led a major refinancing and debt restructuring during favorable market conditions. By anticipating the implications of the 2019 Rent Stabilization Laws, Nick implemented proactive strategies that preserved portfolio health and long-term value.
