Cushman & Wakefield announced today that it has added David Porter to its project and development services team as director, where he will be responsible for directing and leading projects from design to construction on behalf of landlords and tenants throughout the Baltimore Metro area.

“We’re thrilled to have David joining our Baltimore team,” said Mike McCurdy, managing principal for the Baltimore Metro region at Cushman & Wakefield. “His experience in commercial real estate and the relationships he’s cultivated throughout his career have made him an invaluable member of our project and development services group.”

Porter brings more than 20 years of real estate experience ranging from leasing transactions to investment sales and acquisitions to project management from both principal and vendor sides. In his most recent role, he served as a project manager for AT&T. In that capacity, he led both real estate acquisitions and construction to complete a nine-year, $350M network infrastructure redevelopment.

“This is an exciting move for me,” said Porter. “I’ve admired Cushman & Wakefield’s reputation within the industry for years and I look forward to working with this team of experts to deliver exceptional solutions to our clients.”

Porter received a master’s in real estate investment and finance from Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, a graduate diploma from The London School of Economics as well as a bachelor’s from Syracuse University. He is also vice president of the Marion I. & Henry J. Knott Foundation.
