acquisition Feldman Equities continues to add to its Tampa Bay staff.
Just weeks after bringing
aboard Mack Feldman and Jonathan Schneider, Feldman has hired
real estate leasing powerhouse Mike
DiBlasi and financial analyst Mahmoud
Mihanyar.

the 1.3 million square foot office building portfolio owned and under
development by Feldman Equities and Tower Realty Partners in Tampa Bay. His role will also include leasing oversight
of acquisitions and third party leasing assignments.
Feldman Equities CEO Larry Feldman, who attributes the

“I started my career as a CPA and after five years, left that salary and security for the opportunity to enter the commissionable world of commercial real estate brokerage, “ said DiBlasi. “I took a risk and it paid off. After 10 successful years in the business I’m embarking on yet another incredible opportunity.”
DiBlasi has spent the past
seven years as Senior Leasing Director for Liberty Property Trust’s 4.2 million
square foot Tampa portfolio of office, flex and industrial properties. Prior to
joining Liberty he spent three years as a broker with Cushman & Wakefield.
Feldman also brings on
board Financial Analyst Mahmoud Mihanyar a recent graduate of Hough Graduate
School of Business at the University of Florida where he earned a Master of
Science in Real Estate.
Prior to entering the
program he managed a small construction company in Daytona Beach, FL. Mihanyar
also attended the University of Florida’s College of Design and Construction
earning a Bachelor of Design in Architecture.
“With his design and
construction background Mahmoud brings a specific understanding to real estate
finance,” said Feldman. “Lease transactions, development, acquisition…we plan
on keeping Mahmoud busy.”
