WASHINGTON, DC—Locally-based global commercial real estate firm Cresa has added veteran real estate executives to its operations in the Silicon Valley and Boston, as well as the market leader for its Atlanta office.

With the four new hires, in less than four months Cresa has hired 123 employees, bringing its worldwide workforce to more than 1,100.

Lisa Dunavin has joined Cresa's Atlanta office as managing principal and Atlanta market leader and will be responsible for the development and execution of the Atlanta office's growth plan. A 25-year veteran of the Atlanta real estate market, Dunavin joins Cresa after stints with Trammel Crow, Hines and most recently as senior managing director with Cushman & Wakefield. In 2014, she was appointed managing principal of Cassidy Turley/DTZ, making her Atlanta's first female market leader of a global commercial real estate company and was recognized in 2015 as one of Atlanta's Most Admired CEOs by the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
