Cushman & Wakefield Names Joseph Caridi Managing Director of South Florida | United States

MIAMI, June 4, 2024 – Cushman & Wakefield announced that the commercial real estate services firm has named Joseph Caridi its new managing director for South Florida, effective in late June. Caridi will be responsible for the company’s Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach markets and oversee more than 450 professionals in the South Florida region.

Caridi will relocate to the firm’s Miami office on Long Island and partner with Wanda Riley, who is the current managing director for the state of Florida. He will be instrumental in supporting the company’s long-term success, exceptional customer service and investment in South Florida as an important growth market.

“Known as New York’s sixth borough, South Florida has seen significant migration from the Northeast, and Joe is a perfect example of that trend in action,” said Roberta Liss, Southeast Region President. “His experience in New York and deep familiarity with our businesses and clients, along with his proven track record of recruiting top talent, sets up our South Florida region in an excellent way for continued growth.”

Caridi has over 25 years of real estate experience and has been with Cushman & Wakefield since 2014, holding several leadership positions in the Northeast region. He is currently managing director of the Long Island and Connecticut/Westchester markets.

“Joe is a proven leader who brings significant institutional knowledge from his nearly decade at the firm,” added Wanda Riley, managing director of Cushman & Wakefield for Florida. “As we continue to invest in and grow our business in South Florida and capitalize on successful opportunities, Joe’s skills, experience and strong client relationships will be invaluable.”

“I am excited to play a unique role in connecting the opportunities available between Northeast and South Florida,” said Caridi. “I look forward to building on and expanding our winning culture, driving organic growth, retaining and developing top talent, and executing on our firm’s strategic priorities.”

Cushman & Wakefield’s South Florida offices consistently rank at the top of the competitive commercial real estate industry in their respective markets. In addition, the firm has the largest property and facilities management portfolio in the state. The ability to deliver exceptional value for clients aligns with Cushman & Wakefield’s recently launched Better Never Settles brand campaign, which emphasizes the firm’s belief in never settling for the world it has built, but tirelessly leading it for clients, colleagues and communities.
