HFF expands Florida presence by opening Orlando office



 ORLANDO, FL – HFF announced today that it will expand its Florida presence by officially opening an office in Orlando with an immediate focus on debt, equity placement and investment sales.

 HFF will seek to add transaction professionals to the Orlando office who specialize in the firm’s other capital markets platform service offerings as well as property specialties, where appropriate. 

Senior managing director Brad Peterson (top right photo), who is a member of HFF’s investment sales retail practice group, and was formerly in HFF’s Miami office, will handle the day-to-day operations of the Orlando office.

 Executive managing director Manny de Zárraga (middle left photo), who leads the firm’s Special Assets Group, manages the Miami office and oversees the overall Florida market, will help oversee the Florida expansion from the Miami office.

“We are excited about this expansion into an important Florida market.  We look forward to adding key personnel to our Orlando office to better serve our local, regional and national clients as well as enhance our regional and national platforms,” noted de Zárraga and Peterson.

“As with the offices we recently opened in Tampa, Florida; Austin, Texas; and Denver, Colorado, HFF’s goal is to strategically build-out the full platform of services and property specializations in our new Orlando office. 

“We are actively seeking to hire and retain associates who have the highest ethical standards and the best reputations in the industry to achieve this objective, and are confident that Manny and Brad will successfully grow our Orlando office,” said John Pelusi (middle right photo), executive managing director and managing member of HFF.
