CBRE has hired Greg Kuhlman as senior managing director and the market leader for Miami and Fort Lauderdale, the brokerage announced Monday. Most recently, Kuhlman was a senior vice president at Related Ross, the South Florida development firm launched by billionaire Stephen Ross.
Kuhlman joined Related Ross after helping launch the Miami office of Related Cos., which Ross founded and chaired before splitting off Related Ross as an independent venture.
One of many New York City commercial real estate professionals who migrated to Miami during the pandemic, Kuhlman spent nine years at Cushman & Wakefield largely representing Manhattan office landlords before leaving for Related in 2022, according to his LinkedIn profile and a release.
Kuhlman will manage 102 Miami-based employees and 66 Fort Lauderdale-based employees, a CBRE spokesperson said in an email. CBRE has four South Florida offices, and Susan Bands remains in charge of the West Palm Beach team, The Real Deal reported.
“Both Miami and Fort Lauderdale are incredibly dynamic commercial real estate markets, and I look forward to working across the organization to build on the team’s success, deepen our client relationships, and identify new opportunities for growth,” Kuhlman said in a statement.
CBRE was in search of a market leader after Gian Rodriguez was hired to lead the Miami office of Kurv Industrial, formerly Bridge Industrial, the South Florida Business Journal reported.
Kuhlman's new role also isn’t the only major shake-up of leadership in South Florida commercial brokerage announced in the past week.
JLL hired the founding partner of Toronto-based Avison Young's Florida operation, Greg Martin, to expand its agency leasing and landlord representation team in Broward and Palm Beach counties. JLL also landed Justin Cope and Lisa Blumer as senior managing director and senior vice president, respectively, from privately held Avison Young.
