ORLANDO—CBRE's Orlando office has promoted James Mitchell to senior vice president. Mitchell primarily focuses his business model on site acquisition, disposition, and transaction management for national and regional users of retail real estate throughout the state of Florida.

A rising star in the CBRE organization, Mitchell currently represents more than 1 million square feet of institutional-grade retail shopping center product in addition to several new ground up retail development projects. CBRE promoted him to senior vice president for sustaining high performance metrics within his specialty.

“James is richly deserving of this significant company recognition," says Bill Moss, senior managing director for CBRE's Orlando/Tampa region. "Anchoring his success has been his consistent commitment to delivering high levels of customer service to his blue ribbon roster of clients.”

During his 13-year CBRE career, Mitchell's performance has been highlighted by his multi-year representation of such well-known national brands as Kohl's Department Stores, McDonalds, RaceTrac Petroleum, PGA Tour Superstore, Bank of America, Office Depot, Fifth Third Bank, and SunTrust Bank.
