Commercial Observer names two real estate reporters

The Commercial Observer appointed two new staff writers — Daniel Edward Rosen and Daniel Geiger.

The Commercial Observer, a weekly publication under the umbrella of the Observer Media Group, covers New York City’s commercial real estate market, in print and online.

“We’re excited to have both Dans joining us,” said Jotham Sederstrom, editor of The Commercial Observer, in a statement. “The depth of knowledge they bring as experienced reporters will certainly make our publication even more of a ‘must-read’ for the commercial real estate industry.”

Prior to joining The Commercial Observer, Rosen worked in “The Shack” at 1 Police Plaza for the New York Post and Newsday. He has also worked as a reporter for the Daily News and has written about crime, sports and business for The New York Times, The Daily, and Dow Jones. He will occasionally write stories for its sister publication, The New York Observer.

For the past seven years, Geiger has been the head staff reporter and online editor for Real Estate Weekly, where he improved the paper’s breaking news and exclusive content. He has moderated real estate speaking panels featuring top industry professionals.
