“The three of us are very excited to join Cushman & Wakefield in Las Vegas, one of the world’s brightest markets. As a supreme real estate firm regionally and globally, Cushman & Wakefield boasts a leading capital markets platform which we now have full access to benefit our business and continue to create opportunities for our clients,” said Art Carll. “Las Vegas maintains its prominence as one of most popular destinations in the world and, together with its business base and sports entertainment has helped drive the valley’s diverse economy and job growth.”
Michael Albanese added, “The Las Vegas Valley remains very attractive for apartment renters due to its diverse apartment inventory while also holding its position as a more affordable or competitively priced place to live when compared to other major cities or gateway markets. We anticipate the local multifamily sector to remain strong for the foreseeable future, which should create even more great opportunities for our investor clients.”
