Douglas Elliman Real Estate, one of the New York region’s largest residential brokerages, is seeking to become a publicly traded company.
Its parent, Vector Group, will file paperwork Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission to spin off the brokerage as a standalone company, Vector Chief Executive Officer Howard M. Lorber said. If approved, the shares would trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker DOUG.
