Avison Young announced a new leader for a new team based in its Morristown office as the firm looks to expand its consultative real estate offerings and its nationwide footprint.

Adam Wright joins AY as principal and director for Land Development Services. He comes on board with Senior Lead Brian Veneri and Senior Project Manager Chris Megnin.

In a statement, Stephen Silverstein, principal and managing director of US studio, project and construction management at Avison Young, described the trio as “experts in delivering turn-key, land development solutions.”

At AY, they’ll provide clients with end-to-end solutions throughout the Northeast and nationwide.

The group comes to the office from food technology startup Wonder, where they led real estate expansion strategy and managed construction for last mile vehicle hubs, cold storage distribution warehouses and food production facilities. AY highlighted some of the team’s notable ground-up construction projects in its Aug. 8 hiring announcement, including a 470,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Piscataway.

“Through expanding our land development capabilities, we can deliver on increasingly complex business imperatives that our occupier, owner, and investor clients have as they evaluate real estate for their service needs and identify their capital investment requirements,” Avison Young New Jersey Principal and Managing Director Jeff Heller said.

According to Wright, “Brian, Chris and I are excited to join Avison Young’s innovative team and collaborative culture. We are ready to jump in and drive opportunities for Land Development Services, coupled with Project and Construction Management across the U.S.”
