PHOENIX – Sept. 21, 2023 – Stream Realty Partners has recruited a seasoned four-broker office leasing team with nearly eight decades of combined commercial real estate experience to build a best-in-class operation in Phoenix.
Managing Directors John Bonnell and Brett Abramson, Senior Vice President Chris Latvaaho and Vice President Chris Beall join Stream Realty, a national commercial real estate firm offering an integrated platform of services. They will work alongside Executive Managing Director and Partner Tiffany Winne to expand the firm’s investor services platform in the region while amplifying the brand’s presence in the Phoenix market. Winne expects rapid growth of the platform with the addition of Bonnell, Abramson, Latvaaho, and Beall.
The new team, who previously worked at JLL, will be responsible for sourcing, winning, and executing office business across all service lines, concentrating on office agency leasing.
“Stream’s nimble full-service platform and well-known enterprising spirit will allow us to tap into our collective expertise and empower us to elevate our offering,” Bonnell said. “We are excited to join a forward-thinking company that is strategically expanding its footprint and investing in the right resources that allow us to create exponential opportunity and value for our clients and Stream.”
Stream Phoenix opened in September 2021 and has strategically grown to more than 20 professionals who lease and manage a portfolio of more than 9 million square feet of office and industrial space.
“I am thrilled to welcome John, Brett, Chris, and Chris as colleagues,” Winne said. “They are not only energetic dealmakers and market experts but also individuals of the highest character. I believe each of them will play a pivotal role in Stream Phoenix’s growth story.”
