A respected leader in commercial real estate, Thomas Monahan is currently a Vice Chairman at CBRE, where he was the top overall producer in New Jersey and among the top 1% of all CBRE brokers in the country for 2023.

Tom has built his practice — and his reputation — on the belief that the best way to service his clients is to eliminate unnecessary layers and deliver personalized, expert management of complex transactions. Along with three Executive Vice Presidents and a best-in-class finance and marketing team, Tom personally oversees all aspects of marketing, site selection, leasing, and sale of marquee properties throughout the New Jersey metro area.

Tom’s wealth of knowledge in managing the real estate lifecycle truly sets his team apart. From land sale and development, to lease and building sale, Tom guides landlords, tenants, and investors through the process, providing the astute market insight and decision-driving strategy his clients have come to rely on. His team publishes a quarterly market report that is a comprehensive overview of trends and market-driven data points that tell a story, which is used extensively by investment sale and underwriting teams across the industry.

The recipient of numerous awards for performance, the walls of Tom’s office are surprisingly free of personal memorabilia. Tom believes that in this business, one is only as good as their next transaction, and he chooses to let the numbers speak for themselves. Tom has been recognized year after year by the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) — the industry’s leading consortium of industrial and office real estate professionals — as the region’s top industrial sale broker, with the largest industrial sale, the largest cooperative transaction in NJ, and the largest land deal.

What clients can expect from the Monahan team is a high-velocity approach and customized strategy evident from the initial point of contact. From the beginning stages of property branding, to deal closing, Tom services a blue-chip client list that includes Prologis, Barnes & Noble, Hampshire Companies, PepsiCo, Seagis Property Group, Trac Intermodal, The Bristol Group, Leggett & Platt, W.W. Grainger, The Morris Companies, and J.B. Hunt, among many others.

Tom was one of a select group of real estate specialists worldwide who held the dual designation of CCIM and SIOR, and he was a 20-year member of the New Jersey chapter of SIOR. He has served as the organization’s past chapter admissions chair, treasurer, and vice president. Additionally, Tom was the founding secretary for the NJ chapter of CCIM.

Larry Schiffenhaus joined CBRE’s Saddle Brook, New Jersey team in winter 2016. He brings with him a strong record of achievement as an assistant vice president at Transwestern, where he was recognized as an emerging leader for his involvement in transactions that closed more than 2.5 million square feet of industrial real estate.

With a focus on expanding agency, off-market and investment sales, Larry has made an impact on the business through his professionalism, diligence and extreme attention to detail. Clients trust that he and the rest of his team will provide them with industry-leading service and expertly manage all the complex details of the deal lifecycle for multimillion-dollar industrial transactions.

In addition to specialized expertise in investments, Larry manages a strong portfolio of occupier representation and agency business that complements what is currently one of the top industrial brokerage teams in the country. Despite its status as one of the highest-producing teams in the nation, it remains lean, agile and laser-focused on meeting the needs of its clients.

What clients can expect when they work with Larry—Executive Vice Presidents Stephen D’Amato and Brian Golden, or Vice Chairman Thomas Monahan—is a team of experts backed by top-tier marketing, branding and financial analysis. There are no junior brokers or layers to navigate, just unparalleled market expertise by brokers who value personal integrity and client satisfaction above all.

Larry offers significant expertise advising both institutional property owners and occupants in New Jersey and around the world in the logistics and transportation sectors. His current client list includes: Prologis, Sitex Group, Bridge Development Partners, Cohen Asset Management, Terreno Realty Corporation, CenterPoint Properties, CEVA Logistics and RIM Logistics.

Brian Golden joined CBRE as an Executive Vice President in 2022. He specializes in institutional Landlord and Tenant representation in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Brian has obtained particular expertise in helping clients through acquisition and disposition of industrial/commercial property, investment properties, analysis and valuation, and land sales and leasing.

Prior to joining CBRE, Mr. Golden was an Executive Managing Director at Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), representing clients in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Before his tenure with JLL, he served as Senior Leasing Manager in New Jersey for Prologis, overseeing leasing activity for more than 20 million square feet of industrial and warehouse space. Earlier, he was Director of Leasing for Mack-Cali, where he handled leasing activity for more than four million square feet of office space.
