Callahan Jumps to Avison-Young

After more than a generation at Cushman & Wakefield, Tim Callahan has joined competing commercial brokerage firm Avison-Young, in Tampa, as head of the firm's capital markets practice in Central and North Florida.

Callahan spent 28 years at Cushman & Wakefield, where he primarily executed industrial and office transactions. Since 2013, he negotiated more than 6.5 million square feet on behalf of Jabil Circuit, Mitsubishi Power Systems and Excel Logistics.

Callahan calls the capital markets job a “transformative” opportunity.

“Avison-Young has made a commitment to this line of business, and for me there was a much stronger opportunity to grow and grow the capital markets platform,” he says.

Avison-Young maintains seven offices in Florida, beginning in 2012 in Fort Lauderdale. Today it has also operations in Miami, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville.
