Mack-Cali Realty Corporation announced the hiring of a new team of internal and external professionals to execute the repositioning, leasing, and marketing of Harborside, its Class A office campus on the waterfront in Jersey City. Edward J. Guiltinan has been hired as Senior Vice President, Leasing and brings 30 years of commercial real estate leasing experience, including the past 20 years with Rockefeller Group, where he leased millions of square feet of office, retail, and industrial space. Notably, Mr. Guiltinan recently participated in the redevelopment of 1271 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan and was responsible for the full lease-up of the building, totaling more than 2 million square feet of office space to tenants, including MLB, Latham & Watkins, Bessemer Trust, and AIG, and retail space to tenants, including Avra Estiatorio. Robert Willis recently assumed the role of Senior Vice President, Construction, and is overseeing the completion of key renovation projects across the campus. Mr. Willis is a seasoned construction veteran who brings more than 25 years of experience managing multi-million-dollar capital projects across asset types. He most recently led design and construction for HEI Hotels and Resorts and played an integral role in the development of the New York Times Building for Forest City Ratner Companies. Finally, a new leasing agency team headed by Mark Ravesloot has been tapped to assist in the leasing efforts at Harborside. In addition, Mary Ann Tighe will consult on the overall project and provide strategic oversight. The balance of the CBRE team brings an impressive level of expertise and includes Peter Turchin, Jeffrey Babikian, Robert Norton, and Brett Shannon.
