As Cushman’s executive director, Groden primarily represented public real estate investment trusts in leases with their industrial tenants. Cresa represents tenants in real estate transactions.

“I’ve forged strong relationships with tenant occupiers in recent years,” Groden said in Cresa’s announcement. “The industrial business is moving toward ownership relying more on in-house representation.” — Eric Kalis
