Cushman & Wakefield Names Joseph Caridi Managing Principal of South Florida

MIAMI, June 04, 2024 – Cushman & Wakefield announced the commercial real estate services firm has named Joseph Caridi as its new Managing Principal for South Florida, effective late June. Caridi will be responsible for the firm’s Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach markets and oversee more than 450 professionals across the South Florida region.

Caridi will relocate to the firm’s Miami office from Long Island and partner with Wanda Riley who is the current Managing Principal for the state of Florida. He will play an instrumental role in helping drive the firm’s long-term success, exceptional client service and investment in South Florida as an important growth market.

“Known as New York’s sixth borough, South Florida has seen significant migration from the Northeast and Joe is a perfect example of that trend in action,” said Roberta Liss, President of the Southeast Region. “His background in New York and deep familiarity with our business and clients along with his proven track record for recruiting leading talent sets up our South Florida region in a great way for continued growth.”

Caridi has more than 25 years of real estate experience and has been with Cushman & Wakefield since 2014, holding several leadership positions across the Northeast region. He currently serves as Managing Principal of the Long Island and Connecticut/Westchester markets.

“Joe is a proven leader who brings significant institutional knowledge from his near decade with the firm,” added Wanda Riley, Cushman & Wakefield’s Managing Principal for Florida. “As we continue to invest and grow our business in South Florida and capitalize on the success opportunities, Joe’s skills, experience and strong relationships with clients will be invaluable.”

“I am excited to play a unique role in connecting the opportunities that are available between the Northeast and South Florida,” said Caridi. “I am eager to hit the ground running and expand upon our winning culture, driving organic growth, retaining and developing top-tier talent and executing on our firm’s strategic priorities.”

Cushman & Wakefield’s South Florida offices consistently rank at the top of the competitive commercial real estate services industry in their respective markets. Additionally, the firm has the largest property and facilities management portfolio in the state. The ability to deliver outstanding value for clients aligns with Cushman & Wakefield’s recently launched Better Never Settles brand campaign, which underscores the firm’s belief to never settle for the world that’s been built, but relentlessly drive it forward for clients, colleagues and communities.
