Jim Dieter has been appointed to lead the industrial real estate practice throughout the U.S. for the global commercial real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield.

Mr. Dieter, a 35-year industry veteran, joins Cushman & Wakefield as Executive Vice President, Industrial Brokerage, U.S., and will be charged with strengthening the firm's market-leading industrial platform from both the landlord and tenant perspective.

He will be based in Chicago, the second-largest industrial market in the U.S. and the hub of Cushman & Wakefield's industrial practice.

Dieter comes to Cushman & Wakefield after announcing in November that he would retire, after nearly eight years, from his position overseeing more than 950 industrial real estate professionals as head of the industrial practice in The Americas at CB Richard Ellis.

"The opportunity to take a leadership role at a firm with the brand name, reputation and global reach of Cushman & Wakefield was one that I could not pass up," Mr. Dieter said in a statement. "I can't wait to get to work with my new colleagues, many of whom I have come to know closely over the past three-plus decades. They are truly among the best and brightest that our industry has to offer."

Dieter said that his immediate focus would be on "reaffirming the need for our brokers to collaborate with each other and with other service lines within the company to deliver the highest level of client service, and to conduct their individual business plans in the context of our national and global enterprise."
