The three-member team all join Cushman & Wakefield from CBRE where they were a top-producing multifamily team for many years.

“Anchored by some of the world’s most desired cities and neighborhoods to live, work and play, the San Francisco Bay Area & Northern California region offers tremendous potential for multifamily investors and developers. With the backdrop of a robust millennial labor pool and an aggressively unattainable cost of housing dynamic, ample renter demand continues to drive the need for existing apartment units alongside a heavily under-supplied development pipeline. It is the mission of our multifamily practice to assist clients in uncovering and capitalizing on the opportunities that arise from Bay Area's unique set of market drivers,” continued Manson.
