For almost two decades, Jim led Sony’s Corporate Real Estate Group, with global responsibility for the broad spectrum of Sony’s US-based business units; encompassing over 400 locations and 20 million square feet of property in 30 countries. Jim and his team typically structured and negotiated 140+ transactions annually and focused on the company’s real estate assets as investments; but only after the strategic facility needs of each business were met; implementing complex acquisition, development, finance and public/private transaction structures, in many cases involving multiple linked negotiations.
His prior work as a developer for the MKDG Partnership in Boston and as an architect for the noteworthy firms of Venturi Rauch & Scott Brown and Koetter Kim and Associates rounds out his perspective with a granular understanding of the commercial development process and the value of good design. Currently, he advises the Corporate and Non-Governmental Organization communities on Real Estate, Planning, Design and Construction matters.
Jim is a licensed architect, a LEED Accredited Professional and an active member of ULI, CoreNet Global, the AIA and the a corporate member of the USGBC.
