\n Travis Overall\n <\/p>\n

Overall will oversee Cushman & Wakefield\u2019s advisory business in Houston, where the firm has more than 250 employees, including 60 brokers, and a 34M SF property management portfolio.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new market leader replaces Clint Bawcom<\/a>, who last year replaced Kevin Roberts<\/a> as Transwestern Real Estate Services<\/a>\u2019 Houston market leader. Roberts transitioned to executive vice president of strategic client relationships.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overall saw a great opportunity in joining Cushman & Wakefield,\u00a0a strong brand with a legacy in Houston, he told Bisnow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe depth and breadth of the existing talent at our firm allows us to provide unsurpassed, industry-leading client solutions for our occupier and investor clients,\u201d Overall said in a press release. \u201cHouston, Texas and Cushman & Wakefield are all on growth trajectories and I look forward to helping propel Cushman & Wakefield further in Houston by attracting the very best talent in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall was most recently executive vice president for Brookfield Properties\u2019 Houston office, where he oversaw leasing, operations, property management, legal, accounting, development and construction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brookfield Properties Executive Vice President David Sternberg<\/a> assumed Overall\u2019s responsibilities for\u00a0the company’s Houston office in June, Brookfield told Bisnow by email.<\/p>\n

Sternberg oversees operations for Brookfield Properties\u2019 West U.S. region, and his assumption of Houston responsibilities came amid a small staff reduction<\/a> and restructuring for the firm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brookfield last year handed Houston Center, a 4.6M SF office campus, to its mezzanine lender and a Houston-based value preservation team<\/a>\u00a0after seven years of ownership. That was one of several big losses<\/a>\u00a0over the past three years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The firm still has an office in Houston and owns assets, including the 3.2M SF, three-building Allen Center<\/a> office complex in Downtown Houston.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prior to joining Brookfield in 2017, Overall spent 19 years with Hines. He has been active in Houston CRE for 27 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201c[Overall\u2019s] industry and community experience and relationships will pay enormous dividends and best position our professionals and clients to focus on opportunities the area\u2019s dynamic economy creates,\u201d Chris Hipps, Cushman & Wakefield executive regional director in Texas, said in the release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overall\u2019s new role starts amid a major personnel shuffle<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0six other Houston brokerages.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cushman & Wakefield found its new Houston managing principal in Travis Overall, who brings nearly three decades of…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":501269,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5130],"tags":[26489,72714,17201,4345,358,224872,3187],"class_list":{"0":"post-501268","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston","8":"tag-brookfield-properties","9":"tag-clint-bawcom","10":"tag-cushman-wakefield","11":"tag-houston","12":"tag-texas","13":"tag-travis-overall","14":"tag-tx"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115859380317497490","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
