SAN JOSE, CA-Cushman & Wakefield has added Doug Sugimoto to the company's Silicon Valley office as a senior director. His practice is focused on tenant representation.
A 30-plus-year veteran of Bay Area real estate, Sugimoto spent a significant portion of his career as an in-house commercial real estate executive with Silicon Valley companies including Intuit, Silicon Graphics, Covad and 3Com. Sugimoto most recently was SVP at DTZ, a division of UGL Services, where he lead the company's Silicon Valley office. Before his work at DTZ, Sugimoto was senior vice president with Cornish & Carey Commercial Newmark Knight Frank.
Deal highlights for Sugimoto include: He represented Informatica in the purchase of its 290,000-square-foot headquarters buildings in Redwood City; Avaya Communications in a 250,000-square-foot lease expansion in Santa Clara, CA; and Riverbed Technology in the leasing of a 105,000 square feet engineering center in Sunnyvale.
“Current and future clients will certainly benefit from Doug's deep ties to the local business community and first-hand knowledge of the Silicon Valley commercial real estate market. He's an extraordinary new addition to our growing team,” explains Cushman & Wakefield executive managing director Jeff Cushman.
Since late 2012, the Cushman & Wakefield Silicon Valley office has welcomed a roster of several new brokers focused on tenant representation, including: Steve Lee, Chris D'Ambrosia, Jason Palda and most recently, Ryan Adlesh. Other real estate professionals who have also recently joined the office in 2013 include property management specialist Janet LaPerle and project management specialist Al Haag.
“With a booming technology sector and extremely healthy job market, Silicon Valley continues to be an important player on the national and global real estate stage,” Cushman adds. “The addition of Sugimoto and our other recent hires builds on C&W's proud tradition with a solid, energetic and enthusiastic Silicon Valley team focused on meeting the unique demands of this dynamic market.”
