New York (September 21, 2020) – Savills announced today that Jason Schwartzenberg has rejoined the firm as executive managing director after a six-year tenure with JLL. The industry veteran will work alongside vice chairman Erik Schmall, Stephen Berliner, Scott Weiss and their team in the firm’s New York City office.

“Jason epitomizes the type of professional we want within our ranks. His work ethic and extensive market knowledge will further strengthen our position as the premier tenant representation firm in the region,” said Janet Woods, vice chairman and Northeast Region lead for Savills.

Schwartzenberg, who worked at Savills from 2002 – 2014, has nearly 20 years of industry experience and has completed over 200 transactions in excess of 2 million square feet throughout his career. He has represented China Construction Bank, Alphadyne Asset Management, Marchesa, Carter Ledyard & Milburn and Global Infrastructure Partners.

I very much look forward to collaborating with colleagues, old and new, to continue to provide clients with an unparalleled level of service,” said Schwartzenberg. “
