Guiding a company in the commercial real estate space is never easy even in the best of times. In times of disruption and upheaval, as the last two years have been, it can be downright difficult. And we can expect another year of choppy waters as inflation grips our economy, to say nothing of the uncertainty brought on by the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is these years where identifying and acknowledging the top leaders in our industry matter the most.

MARK HARRYMAN & GRIFFIN COGORNO Unire Real Estate Group was founded in 2000 to provide property, transaction, construction and asset management services to owners and tenants of institutional-quality commercial real estate. Mark Harryman founded the company and now serves as CEO and principal.
