Industry One Realty has entered into an agreement with AIRECO Real Estate that merges the two Long Island commercial real estate brokerage firms.

Robert Desmond, president of AIRECO, will join Industry One’s Melville office as executive vice president and will assist in managing and mentoring the merged firm’s 15 brokers and sales agents, according to a company statement.

Mario Asaro, who will continue to serve as president of Industry One, said the merger allows him to focus on his “growth plan to open additional offices in new markets in the near future as well as start a property management division.”

"I want to thank both Lisa and Bob for all of their help finding us the perfect warehouse for our Long Island Tent operation. Everything from inception to completion was at a high professional level... ...Bob and Lisa took me out on many outings to look at various options. They would always point out the positives and drawbacks of each warehouse without being pushy, as they understood it was a huge decision. Eventually we found an incredible opportunity...  ...I can honestly say this warehouse has been a game changer for us. We really got the deal of the century...  ...I strongly recommend anyone who is looking to make a big commercial real estate investment to use this fabulous team at Industry one. I can't thank them enough."

Peter Zimilis, President LI Tent & Party Rentals, Inc
