Johnson will be joining the firm as a partner and senior managing director, charged with overseeing the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Bushwick, Crown Heights and Prospect Lefferts Gardens, B6 Real Estate Advisors announced this week.

Johnson is leaving the Capital Markets team at Cushman & Wakefield, which he joined as part of the $100M Massey Knakal acquisition in 2014.

“I value the firm’s aggressive and disciplined approach to the marketplace and look forward to building and leading a team of professionals dedicated to client service and innovation within the investment sales industry,” Johnson said in a statement.
