John G. Nugent is an example of true excellence and professionalism at CBRE and in the industry at large. During his 40 years with CBRE, John has been unfailingly consistent in his leadership across production, client service and corporate citizenship.

A Vice Chairman with the firm since 2006, John has built his career around advising Fortune 500 companies, law firms, insurance companies, financial institutions and professional services firms. During his years with the firm, he has earned the number one national leasing broker spot and has consistently been recognized in CBRE’s prestigious Colbert Coldwell Circle, which honors the top 3% of the firm’s professionals annually.

John’s business and expertise is anchored in New York City, but his market knowledge doesn’t end there. It extends to cities across the country and globe, fueled by firms with multi-market portfolios and fast-growing organizations with expansion plans. As their needs evolve, John’s strong relationships make him an indispensable part of the process. His uncanny ability to “find a real estate problem to fix” creates a proving ground for performance and his readiness to tackle and ultimately solve challenges establishes him as a trusted real estate advisor for his clients.

His achievements as a real estate advisor are complemented by his significant contribution to corporate leadership. He has served on the CBRE Board of Directors, and was Chairman of the America’s President Advisory Council.

John’s work ethic is not only recognized by his clients, but also acknowledged by CBRE. In 2006, John received CBRE’s highest professional honor, the William H. McCarthy Award, recognizing the individual who most exemplifies professional excellence, integrity, service and teamwork, the first Tri-State professional to be honored with this award.
