Center Street Capital Advisors (“CSCA”) is excited to welcome the Lexington Group to our practice as well as announce the expansion of our new office in the heart of New York City.
Financial Advisors and Managing Directors Benjamin Leess and Jason Goldberg along with Senior Registered Client Associate Scarlett Neuberger collectively make up the Lexington Group at Center Street Capital Advisors. After spending almost their entire career at Morgan Stanley, this high-powered team chose to breakaway and take control over their business and client service model.
“Joining Center Street opens a new chapter for our team,” said Benjamin. “In designing their practice, CSCA seems to have thought of everything from an advisor’s point of view. For us, Supported Independence and their model offered the best of all worlds and we are excited to partner together.”
With the addition of Ben and Jason, Center Street’s total assets under management would eclipse the $7 Billion mark and represent an increase of nearly 5X from the inception of the practice in May 2022*. The addition of the Lexington Group brings a year to date increase of 5 support staff and 10 advisors for a total Center Street headcount of 55 people.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ben, Jason and Scarlett to CSCA,” said Mark Klein, CEO at CSCA. “I have known this team for more than two years and their thoughtful due diligence in selecting what they believe to be the best platform to service their clients led them to us. Partnering with high caliber practices like The Lexington Group is precisely the reason for Center Street’s expansion into Midtown Manhattan.”
“We spent most of our career’s working in midtown Manhattan and opening Center Street’s new 485 Madison Ave location feels like a return to our roots,” said both Andrew Wayne and Gary Wayne, Managing Partners/Co-Founders of Center Street. “Ben, Jason and Scarlett bring an amazing energy to the CSCA team and we are thrilled they chose us as their final destination.”
Center Street recently completed an expansion in Boca Raton bringing that office to nearly 10,000 square feet. Earlier in the year, roots were planted in Cary, NC to accommodate the addition of two advisors and act as a springboard for additional growth in and around Metro Raleigh.
