“Right now it is just me. I am scouting and looking for people to join and already have several conversations with people who are interested,” Nero said. “It is a very exciting time and I am thrilled to be here, to join the firm as a principal and to grow the retail department.”A spokesperson for CBRE declined to comment.

Nero, a 25-year veteran, recently represented the landlord Western Management when H&M leased 56,700 square feet at 589 Fifth Avenue in 2012.
