Avalair Group is a privately held, vertically integrated real estate company. Diversified across acquisition, management, value-add, development and dealmaking, we operate in both core and non-core markets across the Northeast.

Nominally, Avalair Group is a young offshoot of our parent entity, The Eisen Organization, a prominent New Jersey-based firm with interests across commercial real estate, residential assets, and cell tower consultancy. We developed the Avalair name in 2018 to create a more focused hierarchy for our real estate ecosystem.

The
Avalair Group Philosophy

Aggressive Prudence

The Avalair approach is a study in watchful patience. Since inception, our ideal was to position the firm for long-term sustainability rather than volatile, sporadic gains.

That helped us carve out a unique niche through strategic acquisition, cutting-edge development, innovative leasing and quality property management.

Impeccable timing

Our portfolio is proof that good deals come to those who wait. And yet, we are regarded as one of the most proactive and prolific real estate firms in the region.

These dichotomic elements are reconciled in our hawk-eyed awareness of market trends. By knowing more we act less, and consistently identify and develop projects with competitive strengths and stable yield.

Undue diligence

For 1.5 decades, we have demonstrated an affinity for communication that’s clear to the point of transparent. That model is telling of our excessive firm-wide diligence.

From lively communication with stake- and leaseholders; to seamless execution on all management responsibilities; to our renowned proficiency in legal matters—Avalair goes above and beyond.

Market Sovereignty Through Marked Leadership

In addition to his ownership of the Orora Visual buildings, Barry owns 9 units independently, as well as 33 additional units in partnerships.

Simcha Fishman
First Vice President

Simcha Fishman first entered the corporate arena in 2008 with Register Print Group. Since inception, he was intently focused on building direct relationships with national retailers, including giant slike H&M, AT&T, and Verizon. Simcha’s determination broke boundaries. By 2010, he personally closed over $10,000,000 in annual sales. By 2014, his sales revenue doubled in size. With an entire company behind him, Simcha became the driving force of Register Print Group’s innovative trajectory. In 2017, Simcha partnered with financial investment frontrunner Barry Goldbrenner to bring new life to Register Print Group. In a smooth-sailing transition, they sold the company to Orora Limited for a cool $47 million. But that was not the end of Simcha’s time with the company. Simcha stayed on as director of sales, continuing to work alongside Barry Goldbrenner. Together, they also managed the building utilized by Orora for their new acquisition - just one of the many property investments Simcha has made throughout his career. In addition to his long-term investments with Orora, Simcha is also a managing partner for several multi-family residential properties in Northern New Jersey, as well as multiple commercial properties in Ohio. Simcha maintains an active role in his own community, with key positions in multiple local groups, businesses, and charities. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and four children.
