MIAMI—Cresa is smaller in number than Jones Lang LaSalle or Cushman & Wakefield in the local market, but the tenant-focused commercial real estate advisory firm turned heads at this year's National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) South Florida Chapter awards. The company took home two wins and ranked as a finalist on two more, competing against itself in the office category.

NAIOP recognized Cresa professionals for negotiating creative lease deals at its “Celebrating Excellence” Awards gala. The NAIOP annual awards program highlights companies and commercial real estate professionals for their outstanding contributions to the industry.

“Cresa South Florida had a strong year on the office leasing front and launched out into the industrial side of the market with veteran Sky Groden coming on board in January,” says John Marshall, managing principal at Cresa. “By focusing on the tenant's advantage, we're disrupting conventional approaches to leasing. That's driving ROI for our clients and winning the attention of the local industry.”
