CHICAGO—Avison Young has just brought over four real estate pros from Cushman & Wakefield in Chicago. Effective immediately, Mark Robbins, Chris O’Leary and Jeff Lindenmeyer become Chicago-based principals and will focus on representing office tenants across the US and globally. Jordan Mellovitz also joins the firm as a senior associate and will work with the three new principals. The four bring a combined total of 65 years of commercial real estate experience to the company. In addition, Justin Decker, a newcomer, joins the office as an associate.

“Mark, Chris, Jeff, Jordan and Justin bring to Avison Young an extremely talented team of veterans and energetic up-and-comers to help an already growing Chicago tenant representation effort,” says Danny Nikitas, Avison Young principal and managing director of the company’s Chicago office. “The high-level client base and client service business this group has developed, and continues to build, will fit admirably with our principal-led culture.”
