Resource Realty of Northern New Jersey has welcomed Blair O’Connor, a seasoned acquisitions executive, as a vice president in its Parsippany headquarters.
The brokerage firm said O’Connor joins its team from Wonder Group Inc., a tech-enabled company operating within the food-service marketplace, where he was the senior director of real estate acquisitions. He comes to the role with strong experience in asset management, development economics, capital markets and structuring commercial real estate transactions, having represented both landlords and tenants.
“Blair is a wonderful addition to our brokerage team at Resource Realty, where we welcome his corporate-client perspective and relationships,” said Tom Consiglio, firm founder and principal. “In addition to offering our clients an extremely unique depth of expertise, combined with an understanding of capital markets and deal structures, Blair will play a key role in the advancement of each clients’ growth strategies — and our own presence — throughout New Jersey and New York State.”
A graduate of Michigan State University with a bachelor’s in finance, O’Connor launched his commercial real estate career in 2019 after several years as a trader specializing in energy futures, equity and debt markets and agricultural commodities.
“I’m thrilled to be joining the team at Resource Realty, where deploying creativity beyond the usual, traditional or conventional is highly encouraged,” O’Connor said.
