CBRE promoted Midtown Manhattan dealmaker Chris Corrinet to vice chairman, the highest rank for producers within the world's largest brokerage firm.
Corrinet, a former professional ice hockey player before joining CBRE in 2005, has completed more than 24 million square feet of transactions representing firms across a variety of industries with a primary focus on financial services, CBRE said Tuesday in a statement.
He has advised major financial services firms including Apollo Global Management, and other clients including Boston Consulting Group, Corsair Capital, Maverick Capital, Northern Trust and Sound Point Capital, CBRE said. It added that Corrinet has brokered some of the New York tri-state area’s most noteworthy transactions over the past decade.
In 2019, he represented Deerfield Management in its 320,000-square-foot purchase of 345 Park Avenue South in Manhattan. In 2018 and 2021, he represented Hudson River Trading in its 210,000-square-foot expansion to 3 World Trade Center after initially leasing 70,000 square feet at 4 World Trade Center in 2016, CBRE said.
In 2016, Corrinet represented the NHL in its 180,000-square-foot relocation to One Manhattan West, part of Brookfield’s mega mixed-use complex on the far west side of Manhattan.
He also represented MLB in the same year in its 400,000-square-foot consolidation to 1271 Avenue of the Americas, and Citadel in its 210,000-square-foot anchor lease at 425 Park Ave., the first full-block office tower to open in decades on the corporate headquarters-heavy corridor.
Corrinet, a graduate of Princeton University, was a captain of the school's men’s ice hockey team, winning two Ivy League championships. The right winger was a fourth-round draft pick of the Washington Capitals in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, CBRE said.
He played four years of professional ice hockey, notably for the Capitals and in Slovenia, CBRE said.
