Top Broker Honoree: Avison Young’s James Nelson

James Nelson is principal and head of Avison Young’s Tri-State Investment Sales group, where he leads a group of three dozen in the sale of multifamily, office, development and retail properties. He has built a unique sales platform at Avison Young that is broken out by asset class rather than territory, and where brokers share information and commissions in order to provide the best client experience.

Less than two years since being appointed head of the department, Nelson and his team are now marketing 50-plus active listings valued at more than $1.5 billion. In addition, they closed 28 sales representing more than $525 million throughout 2019, including the $205-million sale of 250 Church St., a 237,000-square-foot office building in Manhattan’s TriBeCa neighborhood.
