Keith Edelman and Scott Goldstein join Avison Young in MiamiIndustry leaders becom e Principals, will expand firm 's tenant-representation services

MIAMI, May 5, 2015 /CNW/ - Pike Rowley , Avison Young Principal and Managing Director of the company 's Florida region, announced today the strategic

hiring of commercial real estate industry leaders Keith Edelm an and Scott Goldstein.

Effective immediately , Edelman and Goldstein become Principals of Av ison Y oung. Based in the company 's Miami office, they will continue to work as a team

while specializing in tenant representation. They will focus on serv icing office market clients in Miami's central business district (CBD) and throughout South

Florida.

Edelman brings 20 y ears of commercial real estate experience to Avison Y oung while Goldstein brings 15. Both join Avison Y oung from Jones Lang LaSalle

(JLL) in Miami, where they served as Senior Vice-Presidents.

"Keith and Scott are a perfect fit for our growing platform in Florida as we continue to augment our already broad range of serv ices to meet our clients' indiv idual

needs," comments Rowley . "In our business, qualities such as integrity , trust and confidence define the line between success and failure. Both Keith and Scott

epitomize these qualities, and we are fortunate to be able to bring them to our team and our clients."

Edelman and Goldstein, during their combined 35 y ears of industry experience, have completed more than 1 ,000 transactions working with Fortune 500

companies as well as locally based entrepreneurial firms. Clients have included Harley -Davidson, JP Morgan, Heartware, Regus, Jetstream Federal Credit Union,

Exxon Mobil, Automated Healthcare Solutions, Bressler Amery & Ross, Daszkal Bolton, Aetna, and the State of Florida.

Rowley continues: "After quickly growing our Florida operations by more than 400% through acquisitions, the addition of this team is a reflection of our organic

growth philosophy of strategically hiring industry leaders to bolster key areas of opportunity and demand. Avison Y oung's approach to business is a re-

engineering of the traditional real estate organization: eliminating serv ice-line silos, streamlining infrastructure and identify ing best-in-class external resources

to develop the widest possible toolkit for clients. Our Principal-led firm prov ides commitment and accountability to clients who are best served when dealing

with an owner instead of a faceless corporation. By adding Keith and Scott as Principals, we are continuing to fulfill our mandate of putting the client first."

During his career, Edelman has gained considerable expertise in marketing, financial analy sis, strategy implementation and lease negotiations while serv icing

tenants in South Florida. Goldstein has developed experience in office site selection, evaluation and lease negotiations on behalf of clients in the professional

serv ices, technology and governmental sectors.

Adds Rowley : "These strategic hires demonstrate that Av ison Y oung's employ ees are underpinning the firm's investment in expanding our operations in Florida.

Since late 2012, we have attracted more than 120 of the state's most respected and leading professionals in each commercial real estate sector – and we're

continuing to recruit top talent."

Avison Y oung entered the Florida real estate market with 30 team members in Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Boca Raton in October 2012. The firm has expanded

steadily since then, opening additional offices in West Palm Beach, Tampa and Orlando.

"In order to remain at the forefront of our highly competitive industry , Av ison Y oung recognizes the need to continually add new resources to the company .

Keith and Scott have developed outstanding reputations in the market and among their clients," notes Donna Abood, Av ison Y oung Principal and Managing

Director of the company 's Miami office.

Over the past six y ears, Av ison Y oung has grown from 11 to 66 offices and from 300 to more than 1 ,7 00 real estate professionals in Canada, the U.S. and Europe.

"We are excited to join Avison Y oung at a time when the firm is strategically expanding and the dy namic of the south Florida market is rapidly changing," say s

Edelman. "We believe in the culture that Av ison Y oung is creating, whereby teamwork and collaboration are expected. This puts us in a favorable position

"The overall topography of commercial real estate has changed greatly in recent y ears, and clients are demanding more complex offerings and expertise

delivered over a seamlessly integrated and linear platform," adds Goldstein. "Avison Y oung's Principal-led culture is truly different and the benefits – both

externally and internally – are accentuated at every touch point. We're excited to be part of Av ison Y oung's impressive growth here in Florida and globally ."
