NEW YORK CITY—Transwestern has nabbed David Stockel from Cushman & Wakefield—where he was an associate director—and named him a SVP, GlobeSt.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY. Bringing eight years of transactional experience to the position, Stockel will be responsible for tenant and landlord advisory in the Midtown and Midtown South markets.

"One of Transwestern's priorities is to significantly increase the firm's presence, market share and breadth of service offerings in New York City," says Steve Purpura, managing partner and Northeast market leader for Transwestern. “The New York City market is evolving and Transwestern is addressing the business and real estate challenges our clients are facing today with forward-thinking solutions based in current realities, not responses that worked in the past."

He adds, "We are actively seeking to grow the firm with high-quality individuals like David—brokers with not only deep market knowledge but also those who share the firm's expressed vision of a client-focused approach to commercial real estate advisory.”

At Cushman, Stockel's clients included C.V. Starr & Co., General Reinsurance, Doral Bank, Progress Software, AppNexus and The United States Olympic Committee. Earlier this year he was honored with the firm's “Vincent J. Peters Award of Excellence” for high achievement, integrity and service excellence. Previously, he received SL Green Realty Corp.'s “Rookie of the Year” award, which is given to the top-producing broker with three years' experience or less.

“Transwestern has a collaborative, client-first mentality that is pervasive throughout the firm,” says Stockel. “I look forward to sharing our approach and capabilities with clients in the New York market and helping the firm strengthen its presence in the Northeast.”
