Pierson Commercial has announced the promotion of two longtime members of its retail brokerage team.
The Marlboro-based firm on Wednesday said it has elevated Gregg Medvin to executive vice president and Ryan Starkman to vice president. They have been with the company for a combined 20 years and specialize in providing local, regional and national property owners, developers and tenants with a full range of acquisition, disposition and leasing services.
“Gregg and Ryan have been instrumental in shaping our firm’s strategic expansion and transactional growth, while building out a client roster of institutional-caliber owners, retail and mixed-use developers and approximately two dozen regional and national retailers with New Jersey-focused growth strategies,” said Jason Pierson, the firm’s president. “Thanks to their consistent efforts as top producers, both Gregg and Ryan are integral to advancing Pierson Commercial’s standing as the retail-niche brokerage firm of choice known for its entrepreneurial, efficient mindset and a sophisticated resources-driven approach to every assignment.”
Medvin, who joined Pierson in 2012, has built a client roster of established national and regional retailers as well as about 1 million square feet of shopping centers, mixed-used developments, pad sites, ground-up construction and redevelopment projects throughout New Jersey, according to a news release.
