Other major clients have included Ally Financial, Cerberus Capital Management, Herman Miller and Titan. "Given Justin's track record and having worked personally with him on transactions, I know he will add great synergism to the team," said Stacom. "Given the multitude of major projects we're currently involved with, and the exciting new opportunities that are continually presenting themselves, we're especially pleased to welcome Justin's talent and experience." Royce is a graduate of the University of Richmond, where he received bachelor of arts degrees in Economics and Psychology. He is a member of the Young Men's/Women's Real Estate Association and REBNY, and is also involved in various non-profit organizations including the Indian Mountain School and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Young Professionals Leadership Committee.
