Brooklyn, NY — Will Diana, owner of WTD Realty and one of New York’s rising forces in industrial and commercial real estate, has officially closed on the sale of a prime development site located at 218 Ashford Street in Brooklyn for $801,000. This transaction marks another strategic milestone for Diana, who has steadily earned a reputation for identifying high-value opportunities across the five boroughs and delivering results for investors, developers, and property owners alike.
The Ashford Street sale reflects Diana’s continued momentum in the industrial and development sectors—two areas where demand has surged throughout New York City. With limited land availability and rapid growth in logistics, warehousing, mixed-use development, and multifamily needs, Diana’s ability to source, negotiate, and close deals in this environment positions him as a standout leader in the market. His understanding of zoning potential, emerging neighborhoods, and underdeveloped corridors allows him to bring both immediate value and long-term vision to his clients and partners.
Diana has no plans to slow down. With 2025 already shaping up to be a year of aggressive expansion, he is actively scaling his industrial, commercial, and development portfolio with new acquisitions, exclusive listings, and redevelopment opportunities. His sights are set well into 2026, to grow WTD Realty’s footprint across Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and select markets beyond New York City. His approach blends market knowledge, negotiation expertise, hands-on involvement, and a genuine commitment to helping clients build meaningful, profitable portfolios.
“New York’s real estate landscape is constantly evolving, especially in industrial and development zones,” Diana shared. “My focus is on identifying assets with strong upside, understanding their true potential, and connecting buyers and sellers who want to move confidently in a rapidly shifting market. The Ashford Street sale is a great example of that—recognizing value and getting the deal done.”
