Cori English, Cushman & Wakefield's Managing Principal for the Northern California East Bay & Central Valley Region, says, "We are thrilled to welcome this dynamic and accomplished office team to our regional platform. Chad and Brian bring a wealth of knowledge, deep industry relationships, and a proven track record of success. Aligned with our client-first approach, they are exceptional listeners who understand the complexities of our client's needs and consistently craft strategic solutions that unlock long-term value. Their market insight, creative problem-solving, and commitment to excellence have earned them the trust of tenants, landlords, buyers, sellers, and developers, alike.

"We look forward to the positive impact Chad and Brian will have on our clients' success and on strengthening our local team's presence. Their arrival marks an exciting step forward as Cushman & Wakefield continues to expand our Office services in the Pleasanton and Walnut Creek markets."

Arnold and Lagomarsino join Cushman & Wakefield from Colliers, where they each spent the last 24 years, most recently serving as Executive Vice Presidents in the firm's Pleasanton office. Arnold has also previously worked in Colliers' Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C. market.

Throughout their careers, the brokers have worked with some of the most dynamic and fastest-growing companies both locally and nationally. Specializing in the sales and leasing of office properties, they are known for delivering tailored, results-driven solutions with integrity and precision. As recognized authorities in the market, they have been featured in several leading industry publications and authored numerous insightful articles on commercial real estate trends and strategies.

"We've had the privilege of working in the real estate industry for over two decades, navigating virtually every market cycle imaginable. While some challenges persist, the office sector in this dynamic region continues to present strong leasing and sales opportunities. We're excited to bring our extensive experience and expertise to the table, collaborate with our new colleagues and leverage Cushman & Wakefield's robust platform to deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients," says Arnold.

"In the East Bay market and beyond, Cushman & Wakefield has long been recognized as a highly respected firm with a premiere platform, outstanding research capabilities, and a comprehensive suite of client services. We're confident that our team will further strengthen the firm's position in the Pleasanton & Walnut Creek region and we're eager to hit the ground running and pursue new business under the C&W banner," adds Lagomarsino.

Cushman & Wakefield recently announced the addition of the "powerhouse" Industrial Services team of Tyler Epting and Kris Hagar as it expands its foothold in the Industrial property sector.
