Both veteran brokers--Brad Capas and Byron Moger--were formerly senior vice presidents in Florida with Apartment Realty Advisors, a multifamily brokerage network whose Florida operations are based in Boca Raton.

Capas will lead the company's multifamily operations in southeast Florida from C&W's Fort Lauderdale office and Moger will head the company's multifamily operations on the West Coast of Florida from the Tampa Bay office. "It was a good career opportunity for me to be in the position to lead that effort," Capas tells GlobeSt.com. "I'm really excited to have the opportunity to work with Cushman & Wakefield. Cushman & Wakefield is a national company with great name recognition." The company has made a commitment to expand its apartment business in Florida and nationwide, he says.

Together, Capas and Moger have sold more than 25,186 multifamily units in 77 properties and had more than $2 billion in total sales in the past five years. The Apartment Group sold 16,166 additional units."The addition of Brad and Byron in Fort Lauderdale and Tampa is a perfect match with Cushman & Wakefield geographically," Tere Blanca de Ulloa, Cushman & Wakefield's senior managing director for South Florida, says in a statement "We now have senior-level successful brokers in each major market throughout the state.

"Although we have been successful in market share in southeast Florida and Tampa, we expect the addition of Brad and Byron to immediately position Cushman & Wakefield as the top firm in every major market in Florida," she says. "Their reputation, experience and relationships in this important part of our business will ensure an immediate increase in market share."

With Capas, Moger and their support staff on board, The Apartment Group has 17 employees in Florida. This is the biggest multifamily investment sales operation for C&W in the country and confirms the company's commitment to the rapidly growing market, according to a company statement. The Apartment Group, directed by senior director Cole Whitaker, has staff in Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville, FL; Atlanta; Boston; Dallas; Houston; Philadelphia; Seattle; southern California; and Washington, DC.
