- LAUDERDALE, FL – Avison Young has appointed 30-year industry veteran, Paul Marko as principal within the company’s Ft. Lauderdale, FL office.
Within his new role, Marko will focus on serving and advising office occupiers throughout South Florida.
“Avison Young is a great match for my skill set; its recent expansion of consulting across the Americas and investment in technology and innovation will help drive my ability to use data and analytics to fuel insights for the companies and industries I serve,” states Marko. “The firm’s culture of collaboration, integrated services and client-centric approach are consistent with my own business approach, helping to provide solutions to clients for the issues of today and tomorrow.”
Marko’s three-decade career within the industry spans office tenant representation, buyer broker services, lease/portfolio administration, project management and consulting.
Prior to joining Avison Young, Marko served Stiles Realty for eight years, where he oversaw the leasing and sales division as president. Marko previously served as CBRE’s first VP in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, within the firm’s global corporate services and office tenant advisory service groups.

The South Florida office market has experienced a deceleration in overall rent growth this year, due to an increasing supply pipeline and substantial office space currently under construction with deliveries expected by year end. Companies are also currently strategizing and examining their office footprints in order to meet post-pandemic expectations of their workforce and business needs.
