Andrew Petrozzi will lead Newmark Group’s research division in Canada. He joins the commercial real estate advisory firm with an extensive background in industry research and data analysis, most recently as the head of commercial transactions data solutions for Altus Group.

“Bringing Andrew on board reflects Newmark’s commitment to expanding its Canadian presence,” says Norm Taylor, head of Newmark in Canada. The company currently boasts 170 offices worldwide, including in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.

Petrozzi also previously led Avison Young’s research team in British Columbia and has been actively involved in industry organizations throughout his career, establishing a reputation as a knowledgeable speaker. In addition to providing insights for Newmark’s brokers and clients in Canada, Petrozzi will work closely with the firm’s executive managing director of global research, David Bitner.

“His wealth of market knowledge will further strengthen Newmark’s reputation as a go-to resource for Canadian market trends and insights,” Bitner says.
