Henry Korzec, 27

So here was the conundrum that Henry Korzec and team faced a few months ago. 

Mulligan Security, a tenant at the Feil Organization’s 7 Penn Plaza, needed more room. At the time, too, the firm, whose contracts include New York City’s migrant shelters, was interviewing up to 1,200 security guard applicants a month. That’s a lot of in and outs. 

“We had to come together as owners and say, ‘What’s the best outcome here for the tenant but also ownership?’ ” Korzec said. “We didn’t want to lose them as a tenant but we had to manage this traffic.” 

The solution? Feil would move Mulligan Security to a much larger space on the second floor, which another tenant had vacated, and then carve out roughly 400 square feet of ground-floor retail for a private entrance on West 30th Street with a private elevator. It secured Mulligan’s growth — and tenancy — for 10 years, Korzec said. 

Such is Korzec’s creativity in leasing space in six Feil buildings in New York and others beyond, including the company’s New Orleans footprint. This creativity extends to organizing a social media video series called “Feil on Film” to literally showcase the company’s offices. 

“They’re special, they’re unique, we spend a lot of money on them, and I don’t want people to think of Feil as just drop carpet/ceiling owners,” Korzec said. “We’re so much more than that. We create beautiful and unique spaces for our tenants.”

He’s also not beyond the more meat-and-potatoes aspects of the job, including tours with prospective tenants (“tours are essential”) and meals with brokers. 

Korzec’s path started growing up in Scarsdale, N.Y. His dad was a real estate litigator for J.P. Morgan Chase, and he interned there and at a precursor to Newmark before getting into Cushman & Wakefield’s PREP training program after earning a real estate degree from Syracuse University. He joined Feil last June.
