LoHo Realty’s focus, from its inception, on the four housing corporations of Co-op Village: East River, Seward Park, Amalgamated and Hillman, is what separates it from the herd. Since 1999, LoHo has executed more than 1000 sales and 250 subleases, continuing to affirm the Times’ assertion that LoHo Realty is the primary Co-op Village broker.
