Pete Crane joined Pebb Enterprises as vice president of acquisitions and dispositions.

Crane left Noble Properties, where he was vice president and director of acquisitions and dispositions. He also previously worked for Franklin Street.

Pebb, a Boca Raton-based real estate investment firm, has been working to rebuild its portfolio and team following a plane crash that killed several employees in 2015. The company is now selling some of its out-of-state retail properties with plans to acquire office, industrial and retail assets in South Florida.

Douglas Elliman’s Melanie Kimpton and Jonathan Howard were tapped to lead sales at Riva in Fort Lauderdale. Elliman took over the remaining sales and marketing of the 100-unit, 15-story condo building at 1180 North Federal Highway earlier this month.
