Raleigh, NC Vestian, an international commercial real estate solutions firm, has opened a new local office, where it has already established a notable presence serving major domestic and international companies.

Headquartered in Chicago, and with offices in New York, Dallas, India and China, the new office further expands Vestian’s U.S. presence to help meet growing client needs.

The team will be led by managing director Jeremy Done, former head of real estate strategy for Credit Suisse, where he executed cost savings initiatives for a 3.8 million s/f portfolio with an annual occupancy budget of $250 million.

“Joining Vestian affords me the opportunity to transform the industry with a proven pioneer in Vestian’s Chairman Michael Silver, the former CEO of Equis, and an accomplished team of multidisciplinary experts who bring a collaborative approach to every engagement,” said Done. “Our diverse team delivers a true business partner first model to our clients; Vestian is a place where I can work with colleagues to develop and execute impactful real estate solutions with measurable results for our clients.”
