Dowd joins CBRE/Syracuse office as senior broker

Marty Dowd has joined the staff at CB Richard Ellis/Syracuse as a senior broker. He earned a bachelor's degree in Business from Niagara University's College of Business Administration. Following graduation, he moved to Boston and worked as a leasing agent for The Beacon Companies. While his main focus was on Boston area properties, he also handled the leasing for One Lincoln Center in Syracuse until its sale in 1984. After nine years with The Beacon Companies, he returned to central N.Y. in 1990, joining National Site Selectors until 1997. He then became a leasing agent for The Pioneer Companies, where he represented Deys Centennial (now handled by CBRE), Electronics Park, and numerous other office properties. In 2005, he became director of real estate at JGB Properties. "I'm anxious to hit the ground running in brokerage," Dowd said. "The market needs a fresh perspective right now."
