Accordia 2.0: Inside the commercial real estate firm’s next chapter — and the story behind its new leadership team

Accordia is entering a new phase as a developer, investor and asset manager, with high-profile additions to its team, a revamped business plan and several major projects on the horizon.

Transition time

I’ve come to learn that stories in our People on the Move section are among our most popular online and in print. I understand why — relationships in commercial real estate go back years or decades in many cases, meaning there’s no shortage of interest when a friend or business partner earns a promotion or a position at a new firm. That’s especially true when it comes to developers and owners, as I was reminded earlier this year when we covered two major moves by Accordia.
