Raise CRE Taps Josh Rand as SVP in LA Office

Raise Commercial Real Estate recently hired 13-year veteran broker Josh Rand as senior vice president in the firm’s Los Angeles office. Rand will continue working with occupiers on leasing and investment real estate needs in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California.

With the addition of Rand, the firm has more than doubled the team throughout Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, San Francisco and Denver since 2020. Raise has high growth targets for 2022 as it expands across the country, serving clients from publicly traded companies such as Palantir and Twitch to high-growth startups like Notion and Envoy.

“Starting 2022 with an impactful addition to the brokerage team underscores our excitement in Los Angeles and commitment to client service in a time of rapid change,” said Felipe Gomez-Kraus, president at Raise. “Josh’s extensive background serving the best occupiers in Los Angeles, matched with his understanding of how our technology can impact their experience, is the perfect addition as we continue our expansion across the country.”

Rand joins Raise from Cresa where he most recently served as senior vice president.
