“Mark’s outstanding track record in a variety of capacities within the real estate industry will make him an invaluable resource to the team—helping deepen these critical client relationships and connect clients with local markets teams that can find opportunities that suit their needs,” Griffin said. “Having a dedicated expert in New York will be beneficial because of the number of institutional clients we have in the area.”
