CBRE Retail Vet Joins Avison Young

NEW YORK CITY—Former CBRE retail broker Jedd Nero has joined Avison Young. With more than 25 years of retail real estate experience, Nero is now a principal and executive managing director. He will work closely with Avison Young’s executive leadership and tri-state president Arthur Mirante to grow the firm’s retail services platform in New York City, including recruiting retail real estate specialists. He also will represent landlords and retailers in all aspects of their retail space needs.

Previously an EVP at CBRE, Nero’s position at Avison Young was created for him after the company’s offer simply was too good to pass up, he tells GlobeSt.com. “What attracted me was the principal led culture, which was new for me, and it’s exciting. Having a vested interest, and having others here be in the same position, raises the bar of what we can bring to the table for customers.”
