Yale Robbins releases '91 photo-listings guide.

With the release of the upcoming 1991 editions of Office Buildings Downtown, Midtown South and Midtown, Yale Robbins, Inc., Manhattan-based publisher of real estate directories, enters its second decade, publishing the metro area's only photo-listing commercial real estate guide.

According to Associate publisher and executive vice president Henry Robbins: "Our, directories differ from other directories in that readers can actually see the building -- as well as site it in relation to other buildings, major streets and roadways -- without leaving their desks. In addition to current photos and location maps, we give them key information about every building, including owners, managing and leasing agents, architects, floor sizes, current tenants, and more."

Today, expanded directories cover four states: including three comprehensive volumes aimed at each of Manhattan's distinctive submarkets, and major counties in Westchester and Connecticut, New Jersey, and most recently, the Greater Philadelphia region. Each book provides a building-by-building examination of the market, augmented by extensive editorial coverage.

Office Buildings was the industry's first resource guide to combine both market data and a photograph of each building. The innovative approach integrates field surveys and follow up with building owners and agents for the most accurate, up-to-date picture of the commercial office market. Robbins believes that one of the book's greatest attributes is the photo listings. "This gives owners a chance to let prospective tenants, brokers and real estate professionals take a good look at their properties. The availability of four color listings means that an owner/agent can really enhance the building, make it stand apart. We've had a lot of positive feedback about this feature."
