Markman Leaves Grubb for C&W

NEW YORK CITY-One of the city’s top brokers has left his longtime home at Grubb & Ellis to accept an executive director position with Cushman & Wakefield. Glenn Markman signed his new contract yesterday and plans to assume his new role shortly after July 4.

“There are very few opportunities to hire senior people of this caliber,” C&W president of US operations Bruce Mosler tells GlobeSt.com. “Glenn sees this as an opportunity to put his clients on our global platform and have them blossom.”

Markman, who will work out of C&W’s Midtown office, has been Grubb’s top New York City revenue producer since 1995 and was the firm’s number-three broker in the nation last year. Having spent his entire 16-year career at Grubb, Markman ends his term there in the position of executive managing director.
