An expert in Manhattan’s Plaza District and Rockefeller Center, Aaron Kaufman has joined Newmark Knight Frank (NKF) as an associate director.

“Aaron’s addition to our team is a natural fit, and will result in a new synergy that will help us immediately expand our presence in the area,” said Robert Emden, executive managing director with NKF.

Kaufman previously spent time at Transwestern, Vicus Partners and Tishman Speyer, where he actively managed over one million square feet of Class A office space, including 630 Fifth Avenue, 30 Rockefeller Plaza (the GE Building), and Radio City Music Hall.

Kaufman has previously been named to Commercial Observer’s “30 Under 30” list, and is a member and former board member of the Young Men’s/Women’s Real Estate Association.
