Next Generation Honoree: Success Follows HFF’s Charles “CJ” Osbrink to Arizona

HFF’s Charles “CJ” Osbrink is described as an incredibly motivated and well-spoken business professional, who has exhibited leadership qualities in both his personal and professional endeavors. A recent turn of career qualifies as true demonstration of Next Generation leadership and is a remarkable achievement.

That’s just one of the reasons we chose Osbrink to be one of the ten national 2017 Next Generation Award winners. Connect Media’s Next Generation Awards recognize young leaders in the commercial real estate industry who are likely to be influential for years to come.

Last year, Osbrink, then 32, relocated to Phoenix, AZ to open HFF’s 23rd office. What makes this move interesting is that he had already established himself as an integral leader in building the firm’s Southern California footprint, which had just claimed the No. 1 ranking among West Coast retail investment sales brokerages in 2016.

Though Osbrink has been involved in more than $2 billion in career CRE transactions while in SoCal, he’s quickly making connections and closing deals in Phoenix. In less than 12 months in the market, Osbrink closed on two Arizona transactions totaling roughly $50 million in value, and has another $380 million at some stage of closing or in the market.

Come see our honorees accept their awards at:
Connect New York on Sept. 19 2017 at The Underground, Rockefeller Center
Connect Apartments on September 28, 2017 at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown
Connect Houston on November 2, 2017 at Station 3
– Connect Westside L.A. – December 2017, location to be determined
