PARSIPPANY, NJ-Transwestern has hired Joseph Polise as its vice-president of construction management in New Jersey.
Polise is a ten-year veteran of the commercial real estate business, with 12.5 million square feet of real estate projects “under his belt,” said Transwestern's New Jersey principal, James Postell.
"Joe is poised to make an immediate impact on our business, offering expert oversight on construction projects and providing clients with the most cost-effective engineering plan," Postell said.
Polise is a specialist at construction cost estimation and value engineering for office, retail and industrial assignments. At Transwestern, he will work with the firm's acquisition teams in reviewing plans for architecture, engineering and construction materials during the due diligence period for projects, as well as assisting leasing personnel with the review and negotiation of construction costs on behalf of clients. Polise will also be responsible for supporting the growth of Transwestern's construction management division through business development.
Polise, an architect, was most recently the director of construction for the Avison Young's New York City office. Previously, Polise was a senior project manager for the Walsh Company in Westchester County.
Transwestern is continuing to expand its platform and also recently acquired the Richards Barry Joyce & Partners real estate firm based in Boston.
The company began expansion in the Northeast and added construction management capabilities last year with the hiring of Robert Chenoweth, who leads the property and project management team in the region. Chenoweth's appointment was followed by the hiring of Erika Toscani as vice president of property management.
