BOSTON—Transwestern has appointed Steve Purpura market leader for the Northeast, spanning New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut, GlobeSt.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY. Under Purpura's leadership, the firm will extend its Northeast presence as Transwestern expands its agency leasing, property and facilities management, tenant advisory, capital markets, research and sustainability services. Watch for an UPDATE on this story.
Current regional president, Patrick Robinson, has decided to leave the firm to pursue other interests. Under Robinson's stewardship, the company established and enjoyed significant growth in offices in Northern New Jersey, Connecticut and New York.
Over the last 12 years, Purpura and his partners successfully built a market-leading, highly competitive brokerage firm in Boston—Richards Barry Joyce & Partners LLC—which was acquired by Transwestern in the fourth quarter of 2013 and rebranded as Transwestern¦RBJ.
“We are creating something special in the Northeast US,” says Chip Clarke, Transwestern's president, Americas. “Steve and his partners built the preeminent real estate firm in Boston, and his broader leadership role will create a more powerful and robust firm to serve our clients in the Northeast and immediately heighten our profile in the market.”
Purpura immediately will begin recruiting the type of proven, like-minded producers Transwestern is known for to join the growing firm and complement the existing teams in the Northeast.
