ATLANTA—It was truly March Madness last month as the commercial real estate musical chairs continued across the Southeast. CBRE made several hires, as did Franklin Street and other players.

CBRE hired Hans Kaunath as vice president in the Tampa market. Kaunath will serve as an office agency professional focusing on office product in Pinellas County.

Patricia Nooney, senior managing director of Investors Services for CBRE in Florida, is bullish on the new hire. She says, “With his expansive experience leasing and marketing numerous office portfolios, along with his deep understanding of the North and Central Florida markets, we look forward to increasing our market share in our office agency business throughout the greater Tampa Bay area.”
