ORLANDO—Yvonne Baker, a true heavyweight commercial real estate professional in Central Florida, has switched allegiances. She is moving from Cushman & Wakefield to Franklin Street as a regional managing partner for the firm's Orlando office.
In her new role, Baker is responsible for growing the company's Central Florida office. Franklin Street opened its Orlando office May. She will also remain directly involved with her clients' lease transactions.
“The office market continues to have strong absorption in the greater Orlando area,” Baker tells GlobeSt.com. “Inventory is extremely tight right now, and we were only seeing incremental increases in rents. However, now landlords are starting to push rates in light of high occupancy.”
