New York, NY – May 11, 2022 – Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE: CWK), a leading global real estate services firm, today announced that Mark Gilbert has rejoined the company, and will assume the new role of Retail Capital Markets Leader, Americas, based in the firm’s Miami office.
“Mark is an exceptional leader and one of the industry's leading professionals for retail investments and is an outstanding addition to our leadership team. Mark will lead our Retail Capital Markets initiative and growth as well as working with his former partners, Adam Feinstein and Mitch Halpern, on retail investment sale transactions,” said Carlo Barel di Sant’Albano, Global Chief Executive Capital Markets and Investor Services at Cushman & Wakefield.
Gilbert has vast experience and deep track record of leading and executing complex transactions in retail real estate with some of the largest and most sophisticated clients in the sector. He previously spent 24 years with Cushman & Wakefield where he built a successful Capital Markets practice in Florida while leading the Retail Investment Advisory group.
Barrie Scardina, Cushman & Wakefield’s National Leader for Retail, said, “Adding Mark into a leadership position tying together our retail group with our capital market teams is a win for our clients and our firm. He will link and strengthen both platforms, offering clients highly curated solutions that will support their business and objectives.”
“We’re all excited to welcome Mark back,” added Gian Rodriguez, Managing Principal of Cushman & Wakefield’s Miami and Fort Lauderdale operations. “And while Mark will play a key role in our retail capital markets business, both regionally and nationally, he also brings back that collaborative drive and spirit he displayed at Cushman & Wakefield for close to a quarter-century, one which truly embodies our South Florida group today.”
“Throughout my career I’ve been hyper focused on providing my clients with the solutions they need to advance their business objectives,” Gilbert added. “My year away made me appreciate how special the company is. Not only its level of service and quality of professionals, but also its culture. When you can work with people you really like in a place you really like, it’s an easy decision to come back. I’m confident we will take the client experience to an even higher level as we integrate and grow the platform.”
