Philip Voorhees Leaving CBRE to Oversee Acquisitions at BISON Partners

BISON Partners announced that Philip Voorhees will join the firm as a partner overseeing acquisitions and capital markets, following his planned departure from CBRE at the end of the year. Voorhees currently serves as vice chairman in CBRE’s Retail Capital Markets division, where he has led one of the company’s most successful retail investment teams, completing more than 1,080 transactions totaling over $15 billion in value.

BISON Partners was launched in 2022 to acquire and reposition retail shopping centers, backed by a diverse collection of institutional and private capital partners. The firm has recently expanded its footprint with properties in California, Arizona and Nevada.

Voorhees expressed appreciation for his CBRE career while looking ahead: “I am extremely grateful for my time at CBRE, where I built lasting client relationships and gained a mastery of capital markets and retail investments. Joining BISON Partners represents an exciting opportunity to leverage that experience and help accelerate BISON’s growth.”
