Commercial real estate investment services and technology firm Matthews<\/a><\/b> has hired Clint Olsen<\/b> as its new executive vice president, Commercial Observer has learned.<\/p>\n

Olsen joins Matthews from JLL<\/a><\/b>, where he was a managing director for nearly eight years and completed more than 150 transactions in New York City across office and multifamily properties, development sites, retail condos and more, according to Matthews.<\/p>\n

In his new role at the recently rebranded Matthews<\/a> led by Kyle Matthews<\/b>, Olsen will continue to be based in New York. He will work alongside Cory Rosenthal<\/b>, the firm\u2019s executive managing director and national director of multifamily, and DeWitt Gross<\/b>, Matthews\u2019 market leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew York City remains one of the most dynamic and competitive investment markets in the country,\u201d Olsen said in a statement. \u201cMatthews\u2019 platform and collaborative culture provide a strong foundation to help clients navigate opportunities and execute successful transactions across the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to his time at JLL, Olsen spent more than three years at Cushman & Wakefield<\/a><\/b> as an executive managing director and 11 years at Massey Knakal Realty Services, which C&W acquired in 2014. Over the course of his entire career, Olsen has facilitated more than $3 billion in transaction volume.<\/p>\n

\u201cClint brings a strong track record and deep experience across a wide range of transaction types in New York City,\u201d Rosenthal said in a statement. \u201cHis expertise will be a valuable asset as we continue expanding our capabilities and serving clients across the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

News of Olsen\u2019s hire comes after a rebranding for the Nashville-based Matthews, which was formerly called Matthews Real Estate Investment Services. The firm also plans to move into a new office<\/a> in New York City in the coming months at SL Green Realty<\/a><\/b>\u2019s 711 Third Avenue<\/b>, which will be in addition to its first New York City office at 575 Fifth Avenue<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Olsen\u2019s move to Matthews also comes during a period of leadership changes for JLL.<\/p>\n

Patrick Murphy<\/b>, previously a vice chair at JLL, was promoted<\/a> this week to head of New York brokerage at the firm, a month or so after Michael Colacino<\/b> resigned<\/a> from JLL as CEO of its Americas leasing advisory business.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for JLL did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
