Duke Realty has hired Gregg Bazzani as a development associate in New Jersey.
In the new role, Bazzani will assist with development and leasing of Duke’s 8.1 million-square-foot industrial portfolio in the Garden State. He will provide support throughout the lifecycle of deals including acquisitions, entitlements, new development and leasing.
“New Jersey continues to be one of Duke Realty’s most active markets, with our team working diligently to seek out opportunities to develop modern space in submarkets where inventory is limited,” said Ben Rosen, Duke Realty’s vice president of leasing and development in New Jersey. “Gregg brings six years of commercial real estate experience to the team and his expertise will help us expand our best-in-class portfolio.”
Prior to joining the real estate investment trust, Bazzani served as a managing director for Vue Realty Group, where he specialized in commercial land sales and provided development consulting services to both public and private sector clients, according to a news release. Before Vue, he worked for Panepinto Properties on the acquisition and development of several signature properties in the firm’s portfolio, with a role that included deal sourcing, underwriting, feasibility analysis, entitlements and capital formation.
Bazzani started his career working as a consultant for Deloitte & Touche, where he learned real estate fundamentals. He earned his bachelor of business administration with concentrations in finance, real estate and accounting from Villanova University and his master’s in real estate development from New York University.
