Broad & Noble

Introducing Broad & Noble, a new luxury apartment tower debuting in the vibrant Center City district of Philadelphia. On this site where once iron was forged, freight was hauled, and locomotives were assembled, we’re now looking toward the future; towards a community that unites Philadelphia’s pioneering history with its innovative spirit. Today, Broad & Noble offers spacious apartment homes with a variety of layouts, entertaining amenities, and views for miles. In the heart of Callowhill and adjacent to The Rail Park, Broad & Noble is the perfect place to put down roots.

Gary Lozoff

Gary worked as a real estate and corporate transactions attorney for 25+ years in several of Greater Philadelphia’s most sophisticated law firms before leaving the practice of law in 2014. At that time, Gary joined Tactix as a broker, and has since been working exclusively with end-users of commercial real estate, whether as tenants or owner-occupants. Gary continues to put his legal training and experience to work for clients in a diverse set of industries, including financial services, law, life sciences, healthcare, tech, and manufacturing businesses, among others. Gary’s brokerage engagements include headquarters work for Ghost Robotics, LLR Partners, LBC Credit Partners, LL Funds, Lubert-Adler Partners, Camping Management, Alli Fabrication, LIA Diagnostics, Context Therapeutics, Claim Therapeutics, Revitas, and SDI. Gary executed the relocation of Biomeme’s headquarters, lab, biomanufacturing, and fulfillment operations to 401 North Broad Street. This transaction was recognized by The Philadelphia Business Journal as 2021 Office Deal of the Year. Forge Health is working with Gary on a multi-market basis to expand the clinical presence reach of that company’s unique, efficacious outpatient and intensive outpatient behavioral health offering. Gary also has had the privilege of representing several regional law firms, including Weber Gallagher, Earp Cohn, Charlson Braber, Sansweet, Dearden and Burke, and Liss & Marion. In addition to his work with office, laboratory/R&D, and manufacturing users, Gary’s has also leant his skills to the region’s senior housing, education, and food service industries—through continuing engagements with Capitol Seniors Housing, Clementine Montessori School, DanDan, Cogito Coffee, Fork, and High Street Hospitality Group. For the last several years, Gary has also served as an advisor to Penn Hillel. Gary also served on the Pennsylvania Advisory Broad of The Trust for Public Land and continues to sponsor and advise the Mentor Connect program created jointly by the Philadelphia Association for Capital and Technologies (PACT) and Ben Franklin Technology Partners. He also is a regular speaker at Pennsylvania Bar Institute events on topics affecting practicing attorneys and brokers in the commercial real estate process.
