PARSIPPANY, NJ—Transwestern, a privately held real estate firm, has named industry veteran Matthew Dolly director of research in the firm's New Jersey office. Dolly will deliver commercial real estate and economic data and analysis to team members, clients and prospects. He also will play an integral role in expanding the marketing platform and developing new business opportunities.

“Given Matt's acknowledged expertise and solid track record as a leading provider of research, market analysis and statistical information, he will be a great asset to our team of professionals and a key addition to help support our continued growth in the region,” says Transwestern principal James Postell. “Research is a core component of our strategic approach to client service, and Matt will significantly add to our capabilities to provide best-in-class service to our growing and diverse client base. It's indicative of the strength of our platform that we continue to attract top talent in the industry.”

With nearly 20 years of research experience, Dolly was formerly the vice president of research at Avison Young, where he was responsible for the company's annual research plan. Dolly developed and maintained relationships with clients, providing them with market intelligence related to economic activity, forecasts, trends and commercial real estate market conditions.

“Transwestern's culture and reputation as one of the best places to work are two key factors that attracted me to the firm,” says Dolly. “I look forward to building upon the world-class platform that is already in place and working with the team to assist clients in capitalizing on current opportunities as real estate fundamentals strengthen in the New Jersey market.”

Before Avison Young, Dolly provided market research and coordinated corporate and client marketing at Colliers International. Prior to Colliers, he was director of marketing at the Sitar Realty Co. and was a client services manager at CoStar Group. Dolly is a licensed broker in New Jersey, as well as a member of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP).
