Andrew I. Sacher
Principal
Andrew Sacher is the sole principal of AIS|CRE. Over the past 30 years, he has been involved in brokerage, investment, acquisition, and development on a wide spectrum of commercial, mixed-use, and residential properties. Andrew is one of two managing partners in a private mixed-use portfolio of industrial, office, and retail properties that includes approximately 30 multi-tenant buildings in Massachusetts, adding up to approximately 3,000,000 square feet of space. He is involved in all major tenant, construction, and financial decisions within the portfolio. He focuses on comprehensive advisory services and new acquisition deals.
Over the last 15 years, Andrew’s focus has shifted from searching for and assembling land for both multi-family and shopping center developments to corporate advisory assisting large corporations with multiple locations to expand and/or renegotiate existing leases. Andrew is constantly aware and always looking to take advantage of opportunistic deals and/or undervalued assets to enhance and grow the portfolio and its performance, from bank sales to raising capital. This affords AIS|CRE the ability to facilitate short-term mezzanine financing and quick-close capabilities on attractive properties. Andrew lives in Wellesley with his wife and two sons and graduated from Tufts University (B.S. Economics – class of 1988).
