Blanca Commercial Real Estate Launches New Division
By Brian Bandell
Blanca Commercial Real Estate has launched a property management practice after hiring Peter Romero.
He previously managed more than 1 million square feet of office and mixed- use space while working for Taylor & Mathis and Cushman & Wakefield. Miami-based Blanca CRE named him VP of the new Blanca Property Management, where he will build a new team.
“We are thrilled to welcome a respected professional with Peter’s track record to lead the operations of Blanca Property Management,” said Tere Blanca, chairman and CEO of Blanca Commercial Real Estate. “Beyond his professional qualifications, he possesses an outgoing, collaborative personality and passion for excellence that fit perfectly with our company culture.”
The move comes after Blanca CRE hired John Guitar, previously with Brightline developer Florida East Coast Industries, as managing director and vice chair to plan for a statewide expansion and the introduction of more services. Other new additions to Blanca CRE include Controller Arturo Cepero, a CPA, and Chief Marketing Officer Diana Pubchara.
Blanca CRE ranked No. 15 on the Business Journal’s Commercial Real Estate Brokerages list with $215 million in deals in 2016, mostly office leases.
